Uniforms and Equipment
The Slytherin Quidditch team's uniforms are green and silver, their house colours. The uniform was described as robes in the books, however, in the recent movies, players were shown wearing separate garments instead.

For Beaters, they also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off Bludgers during matches. The Keeper wears gloves.

Safety Features
Generally, only protective arm-length gloves and knee-pads are used. In stormy conditions, some players wear goggles. However, the Keeper may wear shoulder-pads, chest armour and a helmet.
