Countries around the world have varied in the attention given to Gym or Physical Education (PE). Britain, British Dominions, Japan, and the United States have had important PE programs. Many European countries (France and Germany) have given little attention to PE. Schools often had very strict requirements about gym uniforms, often referred to as gym clothes. Many schools in recent years have relaxed those requirements. A British HBC reader has provided us some details about his gym uniforms in the 1960s and 70s. The British term seems to be gym kit. An American HBC reader has provided us some details about his gym uniforms in the 1960s and 70s. We also have some information on Swedish gym uniforms.
