History

St. Rudolph is a new school founded only five years prior to the start of the series. Two years ago, they decided to focus on strengthening it's sport department, utilizing a combination of new equipment, modern theories, and recruiting talented players from other schools. Teammates work well together without divisions in the ranks, despite being a mix of original students and recruited students.

Uniforms

From left to right, boys' winter and summer uniforms, and girls' winter and summer uniforms.

School

Boys

The winter uniform is a brown blazer with the school crest on the chest, brown pants, a white long-sleeved dress shirt and a red and white striped tie. The summer uniform switches out the blazer and long-sleeved shirt for a short sleeved shirt with the school crest on the chest. Ties must be worn with the uniform at all times, and boys are required to iron their pants.

Girls

The winter uniform for girls is a brown blazer with the school crest on the chest, a white dress shirt, a red and white striped tie, and a knee-length brown skirt without pleats. Like the boys' uniform, the girls' summer uniform switches out the blazer and long sleeved shirt for a short-sleeved white dress shirt with the school emblem on the chest. It is a point that the hem of girls' skirts must end 3cm above the knee.

Tennis Club

Boys

The boys' tennis uniform consists of a jersey, a polo, warm-up pants and shorts. The jersey is a white half-zip sweater, with a thick brown stripe around the chest and arms at armpit level. On the stripe, the sleeve reads 'St. Rudolph'. The zipper has a circular pull. The polo is designed similarly to the jersey, but with short sleeves. A notable feature of the polo is it also zips at the collar. The warm-up pants and shorts are both plain brown. In the anime, the 'St. Rudolph' on the sleeves was omitted for ease of animation.
