The shorts from the brand Errea

Errea, Italian teamwear since 1988

Founded in 1988 by Angelo Gandolfi in the province of Parma, Errea owes its name to two letters, R and A, pronounced Italian-style and combined in a double diamond logo. The company has built its reputation on teamwear, which means outfits provided in bulk to a club for training, matches, and travel, with shorts playing a central role. In rugby, the brand signed with Oyonnax Rugby, a club in Ain, in 2024, and is associated with amateur clubs and rugby schools, from the youngest categories to seniors.

An Errea short made for tough training

The Errea teamwear shorts are designed for intensive use. Their thick polyester withstands pulls, friction on the grass, and repeated washes, while the elastic waistband with a drawstring keeps them in place when the player is being tackled. Rugby models are recognizable by their reinforced seams and short cut, which allows the thighs to move freely for running and pushing. Off the field, these shorts can also be used for jogging or relaxing, and the children's versions follow the same construction, with fabric just as sturdy against falls and slides.

Child and adult sizes, washing: good practices

For adults, start with the waist size and hip measurement, then check the Errea guide; a player with large thighs may need to go up a size to prevent the shorts from riding up while running. For children, height in centimeters is a more reliable indicator than age, and a few extra centimeters in the fit allow the shorts to be worn for another year. After the match, rinse off dirt with cold water before washing at 30 degrees, without fabric softener or tumble drying, as these would damage the elastic fibers and club markings.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the name Errea come from?

From the Italian pronunciation of the two letters, R and A, combined in the brand's double diamond logo. The grave accent in the official name, Erreà, indicates that the last syllable is emphasized.

Is an Errea short suitable for rugby?

Yes, the brand offers rugby shorts made of thick polyester, with reinforced seams and an elastic waistband with a drawstring. They withstand tackles and scrums, both in training and matches.

Polyester or cotton shorts for training?

Polyester dries quickly, retains its shape after washing, and resists snags better. Cotton, being softer, absorbs sweat and mud and becomes heavier over time: it is better suited for relaxation.

How do you remove mud from a rugby short?

Let the dirt dry, brush it off, then soak the shorts in cold water with a bit of detergent before machine washing. Hot water might set dirt stains in the fibers.

Can you order Errea shorts for a team?

Yes, that’s the purpose of teamwear: the same model comes in various colors and in child and adult sizes, allowing for uniform outfitting of a whole group. The club number or logo can then be added.
