The Quidditch uniform is a specialized type of wizarding clothing that must be worn by all players in an official Quidditch match.

Essential Uniform and Special Gear

During official Quidditch matches, the players must wear standard equipment and the uniform, consisting of a cape, gloves, shin and arm guards, and goggles when the game is played under rainy conditions.* Players in different positions may have different equipment; for example, Beaters carry bats, and Keepers wear protective headgear.

• Though for reasons unknown games in the actual Harry Potter books have been played without goggles during rainy conditions.

Differences Between Uniforms

Professional Quidditch teams

Each team's robes have different colours and logos or insignias. For example, the Wimbourne Wasps' robes are yellow and black, while the Quiberon Quafflepunchers' are pink. The colours and insignia usually have a special meaning to the team and their fans.

Hogwarts Quidditch teams

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Quidditch players' uniforms differ from house team to house team. The colours are based on the colours of the respective house. The Gryffindor Quidditch team's are red and gold, Slytherin Quidditch team's are green and silver, Hufflepuff Quidditch team's are yellow and black, and Ravenclaw Quidditch team's are blue and bronze.

Hogwarts quidditch uniforms in Harry's 6th year

In the films, the Quidditch uniforms at Hogwarts have changed their appearence several times. In the third film, the robes for the Griffindor team were a darker shade of red, and the robes for all of the teams now had jersey numbers, with the players last name on the back. In the sixth film, during the try-outs, the robes look completely different. The robes now consisted of a jersey (in the color of the house the team represented) with the players number on the front and back (the players last name was not present). The back of the jersey went all the way down to the players ankles, and the front stopped at the players waist, making it look like there was a cape attached to the back of the jersey that started at the waist. These robes may have just been worn just for the try-outs (which explains the absence of the players last name). During the quidditch match in the sixth film, the robes looked just like they had in the third film (a normal robe with fastenings on the chest and the players number and last name on the back). The only difference was the shade of red for the Griffindor team was brighter than it had been before. Also, the sixth film was the first to introduce a piece of armor the keeper wore that protected his or her chest and back, and also a helmet that the keeper wore.
