What does a rugby teamwear kit include?
Teamwear refers to the set of identical clothing worn by a team. The core of the kit is the match kit: the rules of the game specify a shirt, shorts, socks, and shoes, and the whole team wears the same colours. Next comes the more durable training kit, the travel tracksuit, worn when arriving at the stadium or on the coach, and the coaching polo or jacket. A club often provides a second set of shirts in a contrasting colour for matches against teams with similar colours.

Numbers, badge and partners: customising the shirts
In rugby, the number indicates the position: from the loosehead prop numbered one to the fullback numbered fifteen, the starting players follow a fixed numbering, while the substitutes continue the series from sixteen onwards. Therefore, a set of shirts is ordered with a size distribution that aligns with the positions, looser for the front row, and more fitted for the backs. The club badge is placed on the chest, and the logos of local partners, printed or heat-pressed, often help fund part of the kit. It's important to check that the numbers on the back are readable for the referee.
Sizes and materials: dressing a group without a hitch
Before placing an order, a size sheet should be circulated to each member, relying on the manufacturer’s guide rather than individual habits, as match fits are closer to the body. For youth categories, growth from one season to the next is taken into account. In terms of material, technical polyester dries quickly and withstands frequent washing, and a tight weave offers little grip for opponents during contact. Taking advantage of a limited offer to complete an incomplete set avoids mismatching the whole team.
Other good deals
Good bargains can also be found in the sales, clearance, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. The highlights of the year happen in a steady order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and the start of the new season.
Frequently asked questions
How many shirts should be provided for a rugby team?
At least twenty-two or twenty-three shirts per set to cover starters and substitutes, plus a few extra sizes for injuries or newcomers. Many clubs add a second set in a different colour.
What timeframe should be considered to equip a club before the season starts?
Several weeks should be expected between surveying sizes, approving designs, and personalising items. Placing the order in spring allows for equipment to be ready by the first sessions of summer.
How should a club shirt set be washed?
Inside out, at thirty or forty degrees, grouped by colours, without fabric softener or tumble drying. The heat-pressed numbers and logos are more durable, and polyester dries quickly when laid out in the air.
Do all team members need to have identical socks?
Yes, socks are part of the match kit and should generally be identical for all players on a team. They often display the club's colours, with distinctive stripes or cuffs.
Is teamwear suitable for coaches as well?
Yes, the coaching polos, jackets, and tracksuits feature the club's colours and badge. They help identify coaches and officials on the sidelines and during travels.
