DRAGON'S GEAR 2021
We are transitioning to an online gear store managed by the manufacturer, Tribal Sports.
We have some stock in hand, ready for purchase, until sold out. Please see David Pawsey at training or email the club at info@thegapdragons.com.au to organise an item to be brought to training. Payment is via card at training.
Once we have no stock (e.g. Training tops SOLD OUT) members can order online and have it delivered to the club. It will then be brought to training/games for distribution. The prices are the same whether online or through the club.
The online store is at: https://www.tribalsport.com.au/product-category/sports/afl/the-gap-dragons/
Current restrictions do not allow items to be tried on so please consult the sizing chart (taken from the online store) and order the closest size.

An email has also been sent out with the gear prices and size charts document. Please email the club if you would like it sent to you again or download it below.
PLAYERS GUERNSEYS
Playing guernsey sizes are required for each player to determine the playing numbers for each player and teams.
