Sport has always been an integral part of life at UNSW. Since 1949, when the university was formed, and the beginning of the Sports Association that quickly followed, sporting clubs have played a crucial role in shaping the identity of the rapidly growing university. Whether played socially or at an elite level, sport has enriched the lives of thousands of students and benefitted the wider university community. Over the decades, numerous UNSW students have been selected for interstate competitions, and have represented Australia at an international level and at the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

The Badge We Wear celebrates the sporting history of UNSW and examines the ongoing impact that sport and recreation has had in the university's history.

'This is a book which will not only be of interest to students who played sport at UNSW, staff who worked there but also for those with a more general interest in sport. Anthony Hughes has provided a clear and concise exposition of the operation of sport at the UNSW, of the uniqueness of university sport and its differences from mainstream sport.' Braham Dabscheck
