Black Friday foreign club shirts

Edinburgh and Glasgow, the two professional Scottish clubs

Scotland has only two professional teams, both competing in the United Rugby Championship. Edinburgh has been playing since 2021 in its own stadium with seven thousand eight hundred seats, built on the adjacent grounds of Murrayfield; its kit is also available in a Pro version, which is more fitted and technical. The Glasgow Warriors, based in Scotstoun, won the championship in 2015, during the Pro12 era, and again in 2024, defeating the Bulls in Pretoria. These two clubs provide the majority of the players for the Scottish XV, making their kits a natural extension for Scotland's supporters.

Ospreys and Sale Sharks: Wales and England

The Ospreys were formed in 2003 from the merger of the Neath and Swansea clubs during the creation of the Welsh professional regions. They quickly dominated the Celtic league, winning in 2005, 2007, 2010, and 2012, making them the most successful Welsh region. On the other side of the border, the Sale Sharks, founded in 1861, are among the oldest rugby clubs in the world. Based in the Greater Manchester area, they won the title of champion of England in 2006 under the leadership of Philippe Saint-André, with Sébastien Chabal in their ranks, two names that explain their popularity in France.

Pro version kit or supporter: British cuts and sizes

The kits from British clubs follow international sizes, but their cut varies depending on the version. The Pro version from Edinburgh has the cut of the players: lightweight, stretchy, and close-fitting, for which it’s recommended to choose a size up. The classic home kits of the Ospreys, Glasgow Warriors, or Sale Sharks offer a more straight cut that fits true to size. Most of these kits are made by Macron, the Bolonian supplier very present in British rugby, which also outfits the Scottish and Welsh national teams.

Is a foreign club kit a good gift?

Yes, it’s something different and particularly appeals to those who have attended a match in Glasgow, Swansea, or Manchester. It’s also popular among fans who follow Scotland or Wales during the Six Nations Tournament.

Do British clubs face French clubs?

Yes, in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup, the two European competitions, which pit the best French, English, and United Rugby Championship clubs against each other every winter. Toulouse, La Rochelle, or Bordeaux-Bègles regularly meet Glasgow, Edinburgh, or Sale.

How do you care for a Pro version kit?

Its thin, stretchy fabric is sensitive to heat: wash at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, and never in a tumble dryer. It should be dried flat or on a hanger, away from radiators, to preserve elasticity and prints.
