Uniforms
School
Boys
The winter uniform is a standard black gakuran[1] with gold buttons and a white dress shirt underneath. They have a pin on the collar with Seigaku's school emblem. The summer uniform shares pants with the winter uniform, but they wear a short sleeved white dress shirt instead.
Girls
While the design of the girls' uniform in both the anime and manga is the same, it differs in color palette. It's modeled after the sailor fuku[2] style of uniform. The anime version features a dark green skirt, a lighter green cropped jacket with dark green detailing, and a soft pink bow. The manga version, however, features the more standard blue and red color scheme. The summer uniform differs only in that they forgo the jacket.
Tennis Club
Boys
The boys' tennis uniform is a predominantly white jacket with blue sleeves and red detailing on the collar and cuffs, with Seigaku's logo across the left breast, and blue pants with Seigaku written down the leg. The club members may opt to wear either white or black shorts. The polo is modeled in the same style as the jacket, but is instead short sleeved.
Girls
The girls' tennis uniform features a white and pink polo paired a pink pleated skirt. The uniform is sometimes pictured with a white pleated skirt instead.
Trivia
- While Seigaku was one of the top in the nation while Nanjirou was playing on the team, it fell off the radar until Ryouma came to play for the school.
