ISC
Australian sportswear manufacturer founded in 1991 in Sydney's Rosebery suburb, specialising in team uniforms for Australian football, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, and basketball. Labels from the 1991–2000s carry an oval badge with streamlined 'ISC' lettering and an aerodynamic speed-line graphic; the oval badge shape and absence of offshore manufacture notes identify early Australian-made production.
