Black Friday on rugby teamwear

Training kit: shorts, tracksuit bottoms and socks for a whole group

A club's training kit consists of a few durable pieces. The Craft Squad shorts and Force XV shorts, designed to withstand training sessions, hold up to the pulls of group activities. The Proact jogging bottoms and Force XV Force Plus jogging bottoms cover the legs during warm-ups and travels, while the Proact striped socks give the team a uniform look. The Mizuno Team Kobe tracksuit, made from mesh, dresses the players during trips and post-match receptions. The lightweight Craft Community Mix t-shirt completes the outfit for weight training sessions.

Club jerseys: supporter version or authentic

For supporters, teamwear also includes their club's jersey. The Stade Toulousain, Racing 92, RC Toulon, Stade Français, UBB, Stade Rochelais, and Aviron Bayonnais, founded in 1904 and true to sky blue and white, offer their home jersey and often their away jersey. The France XV completes the offering for supporters of Les Bleus. The supporter version, which is baggier, can be worn in the stands or at the office; the authentic version from RC Toulon, cut like the players’ version, is often chosen one size up for comfort.

Hoodies, polo shirts and parkas: staying warm on the sidelines

When winter sets in, warm pieces take over. The Springbok hoodie, available in classic or half-zip style, can be worn over a jersey and pays tribute to the team that became world champions in 2023. The more formal South African polo is suitable for match days as well as outings. For coaches, the Force XV coach parka protects against wind and rain during long hours spent on the sidelines, while the RC Toulon tracksuit jacket keeps Toulon supporters warm during chilly evenings at the Mayol stadium.

Frequently asked questions

How to order kits for an entire team?

First, gather the sizes of each player, with fittings as needed, then order one or two extra pieces for newcomers. Choosing the same range for the whole group ensures matching colours.

What’s the difference between rugby shorts and regular sports shorts?

Rugby shorts are more robust: thick fabric, reinforced seams, and a sturdy waistband to withstand pulls in rucks and mauls. Regular sports shorts, which are lighter, tear easily on contact.

Why do the Springboks play in green and gold?

Green and gold are the sporting colours of South Africa, worn by its team since the early twentieth century. The nickname comes from the springbok, a southern African antelope that has long appeared on the emblem.

How to wash a team kit to make it last?

Wash it inside out at thirty degrees, without fabric softener or tumble drying, to preserve the logos and the elasticity of the technical fabrics. Separate light and dark colours to prevent colour transfer.

How to choose the size of jogging trousers?

Check the waist measurement and leg length indicated in the brand’s guide. A tapered bottom at the ankle can be ordered slightly longer, as it does not drag on the ground.
