France XV and All Blacks in kids' sizes

The France XV jersey in kids' sizes features the blue of Les Bleus, the rooster on the chest, and the same design worn by the players. It can have the name and number of an international player, like winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey's number eleven, in the official federation font. The All Blacks wear all black, adorned with the silver fern; their nickname became known during the 1905 tour of the British Isles, and their jersey is one of the most recognisable in world rugby. For a child, these two kits are often the first supporter jerseys, worn for a tournament match or a November test.

Scotland, Wales and Springboks: other colours

Beyond the Blues and the Kiwis, other nations have their young supporters. The Scotland team plays in navy blue, adorned with the thistle, its emblem; it's available in zipped sweatshirts, long-sleeve jerseys, and match or training socks. The Wales team wears red with the three feathers of the Prince of Wales, offered in fitted polos, printed t-shirts, and zipped hooded sweatshirts. The Springboks from South Africa wear green and gold with the springbok antelope, available with a kids' t-shirt. These items can be worn every day, at school or with family, while the match jersey is saved for big games.

Jersey, polo or sweatshirt: what to choose for a young supporter

The choice depends on usage. The jersey, made of lightweight polyester, is worn on match days or at the club; it fits snugly, so it's wise to get a size up if the child is growing fast. The polo, more dressed up, is suitable for school and family meals. The zipped sweatshirt or hooded sweatshirt keeps warm in the cold stands in February, when the tournament is in full swing. For size, a child's height in centimetres is the most reliable measure, more so than the age on the label, as cuts vary between federations. Sales are a great opportunity to complete a young supporter’s gear without waiting for their birthday.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the XV de France wear a rooster?

The Gallic rooster, a symbol of France, has adorned the national team's jersey since the early decades of the twentieth century. It's positioned on the chest, over the heart, including on kids' versions.

What does the fern of the All Blacks represent?

The silver fern is an iconic plant of New Zealand, adopted by its rugby teams since the late nineteenth century. It stands out in white on the black jersey, over the heart, and serves as an emblem for many national selections.

Can a child's jersey of the XV de France be customised?

Yes, personalisation with a player’s name and number is done with the official letters and numbers of the federation. As the jersey becomes personalised, it’s important to check the size carefully before ordering.

When is the Six Nations Tournament held?

The tournament annually pits England, Scotland, France, Ireland, Italy, and Wales against each other, from early February to mid-March. It's the major event for young supporters, who then wear their national jersey.

How should a customised national jersey be cared for?

It should be washed inside out, at no more than thirty degrees without fabric softener, and dried flat away from any radiator. An iron should never touch the printing or the heat-pressed badge directly.
