We announced a new partnership with Eighteen Hockey earlier in the summer to provide our playing and training kit from 2025/26 season. Thanks to everyone who fed back on our survey and came along to the forums held in early June. All the feedback has been used to come up with a final design for our playing kits and will feed into the training and off pitch range.

We’ve focused on making improvements to:

• Fabric and garment cut, fit and sizing
• Refreshing our kit playing design whilst linking to past kits and elevating the design
• Moving to a #oneclub design for open / men’s, women’s, mixed and junior kit including introducing female playing shorts
• Balancing quality and price to offer good value for money
• Reflecting changes to regulations and policies

Download the THC new kit update below from more details about the new kit, why some things are changing the plans for the full launch and order windows.

Whilst we appreciate that any changes to kit won’t please everyone, we do believe the new range will help move our kit design forward and the refresh will give us a classic and quality look but not in such a radical way that players can’t continue to wear their current playing shirts.

Try before you buy !
One of the big bits of feedback we’ve had it the option to try before you buy to check so sizing and fit and Eighteen Hockey will be at the club to do a number of try before you buy sessions and give advice on kit and sizing during the season.

We encourage all players to have their own playing kit, but we also have pre-loved and some of the old EV2 stock items for sale or to loan for anyone who may need support with getting kitted out to play for THC. Where teams are sponsored playing shirts will continue to be provided.

Pre-launch Order window closes on STAURDAY 26th July at 10am.
We will placing a pre-launch order at the end of July to be season ready and any players who’d like to order new playing shirts, shorts or skorts can get in early and have your new kit for early September!

Jo Royall will be at the club with the sample sizes for shirts, shorts and skorts on Tuesday 22nd July 2025 6.30pm to 9pm and to take orders and give advice. If you can’t make it the samples will also be available on Thursday 24th July from 6pm to 7.30pm to try on but Jo won’t be able to make it so see Shelagh.

At this stage we don’t have a THC playing shirt, but the samples are exactly the same design, cut and fit for sizing (but in black) so ideal to try on before ordering shirts, skorts or male / female cut shorts.

The online shop should also be up and running shortly and if not available for 22nd July orders will be taken direct by Eighteen Hockey.

There will be a full launch once we have got the fully branded THC items, and the training and off pitch items confirmed, and the order window will go live in mid / late August with a closing date of 8th September. There will be a further order windows across the season.
