Sex appeal

• Some roller derby leagues choose to adopt a racy image and that includes uniforms. If you want to portray a sexy image while skating think burlesque style and opt for fishnet stockings, pushup bras, hot pants or short skirts, crop tops or tight T-shirts. (ref 4) For some teams full makeup, or even false eyelashes, may be part of the uniform. Just remember you actually have to be able to skate in the clothes. If going for the skimpy look, ensure all team members are comfortable with the outfits and remember the risk of wardrobe malfunctions.
  
  

Punk Warriors

• Another popular look when it comes to roller derby team uniforms is that of the tough, punked-up female warrior. Think skulls and cross bones T-shirts, striped knee socks, spray painted or spiked hair, even fake tattoos, if you lack real ones. Tutu skirts are popular. You could make a cheeky gesture and get a message such as Kiss My Skates printed on team underwear that will reveal itself when team members take a tumble.
  
  

Color Themes

• As rules for most leagues are fairly relaxed when compared to other sports, not all team members necessarily have to wear exactly the same items. It's a good idea to pick a strong color theme however and stick with it, as it will help you recognize your own teammates out on the track and possibly even distract the opposition. If setting up a new team, do your research first. Ask your local league organizer what colors other teams have picked so you can go with something different.
  
  

Functionality

• The Women's Flat Track Derby Association requires all players to wear helmets, mouth guards and knee pads as part of their uniform. Players must also display a team number that is unique within their team. Numbers are not allowed to be pinned on with safety pins, so it's a good idea to get these printed on your team shirts. The font should be easily legible, of a contrasting color to the base color of the top, and at least 4-inches tall. Player names on uniforms are optional but the team captain must visibly display a "C" on her uniform or arm while the captain's designated alternate must visibly display an "A" on her uniform or arm.
