    Students Wear Pink for Cancer Research

    Thursday, 17 May 2007
    NSWRU Media Unit


    For the first time since its inception in 1863, the Sydney University Football Club will take the field this weekend wearing something other than its famous blue and gold hooped jersey.

    Blue and pink will be the order of the day as the Students take on Eastwood in round seven of the Tooheys New Shute Shield, the switch aimed at raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

    The fundraiser coincides with Sydney Uni Rugby's annual Ladies Day Lawn Party.

    In addition to the on-field promotion, SUFC supporters will be able to purchase the special jersey, made by official kit provider KooGa, for $100.

    The jersey, while unique, doesn't completely go against tradition with a thin gold line a feature on either side of each pink hoop.

    All proceeds from sales of the jersey go to the NBCF, with orders already received from supporters in Australia and around the world.

    The ever-popular Ladies Day will once again feature massages, champagne, giveaways and prizes for fashions on the field.

    This year supporters can also support the National Breast Cancer Foundation by purchasing pink ribbons, which will be on sale around the venue.

    Rugby gets underway on University Oval No.1 from 11am with Ladies Day festivities starting at 1pm.

    The first grade clash, featuring the new jersey, kicks off at 3pm.

    To download a jersey order form, visit the SUFC website at www.sydneyunirugby.com.au.

    Replica jersey's available for $100, please consider:

    All our HK tour kit was made by Kooga. They are definitely worth the money quality wise.

    Sydney Uni go Pink for Breast Cancer

    July 16, 2007

    For one hundred and forty- four years, the Sydney University Football Club has played in the same style and colour jersey. In 2007, the Executive Committee of the Club took the momentous decision that, in supporting the fight against breast cancer, for one match only, the 1st Grade side would change the playing strip.

    The colour pink and the pink ribbon are widely recognised as the trademarks of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and in the Tooheys New Shute Shield match featuring Sydney University and Eastwood, Sydney’s Uni’s traditional blue and gold hoops were separated by a pink strip. It was certainly an eye-opener for some of the Club’s ‘legends’ such as Dave Brockhoff, Nick Farr Jones and Phil Harry who, after their initial surprise, were loud in their praise of the idea. On the day, all proceeds from the sale of the pink jumpers were directed to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

    Last Friday at the annual Finals Lunch held by the Club, with more than 800 people present, the players’ jerseys were put to auction. After a moving speech by former ABC Radio presenter, Sally Loane, the participants responded magnificently and generously in their bidding for the jerseys.

    In total an amount of $26,000 has been raised for National Breast Cancer Foundation by the Sydney University Football Club and Susan Murray, Chief Executive of the Foundation commented:

    “This is really an historic fundraising initiative and the National Breast Cancer Foundation is thrilled to have this support from the Sydney University Football Club. Such a creative approach is also characteristic of the NBCF research program. We focus on funding new and innovative approaches to understanding this very complex disease.”

    David Mortimer, President of the Sydney University Football Club said “We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our supporters and also by the enthusiasm of our players who immediately embraced the idea. Our thanks are also due to Kooga who manufactured the playing jerseys at their own cost. I can think of no better cause than the National Breast Cancer Foundation”

    Looks like the unofficial Tahs training jersey that their players prefer.
