Teams can be identified solely by memory or by the shirts versus skins system; uniforms are rare, and even those that are used are generally low-cost pinnies.
Without funding, the team was limited to local scrimmages and practice was in pinnies.
An alternative to the shirtsskins system is the use of pinnies.
The origin of the term pinnie or pinny is a shortened form of the word pinafore.
However, this requires one or more of the participants, or an organizer, to provide the pinnies, which, in any case some players might find uncomfortabletowear.
