"J"....Jumping for Joy...it's finally here!

Jockey Club Guidelines (Racing Silks):

Front and back of silks must be identical...but seam design can be unique
Colors can be registered in name of one person only...(no stable names or Mr. & Mrs. for example)
Designs can only be those listed below in guideline number 7...
Only color that cannot be used: navy blue (you truly do learn something new every day...can't find reason why this color is unacceptable)

Colors renewable on December 31st of the registered year
An acceptable emblem or up to 3 initials on the ball, yoke, circle or braces design...one initial can be on the opposite shoulder of the sash design, the box frame or the diamond...
