Sweatshirts by the brand Errea

Errea, an Italian brand for clubs

Errea was founded in 1988 by Angelo Gandolfi in San Polo di Torrile, on the outskirts of Parma, where its headquarters still is. A sports enthusiast, the founder wanted to stay close to the field when he stopped playing competitively. The first partnership of the brand was established the same year with a club from Genoa; this was followed by volleyball, basketball, and rugby, where Errea notably equipped Benetton Treviso. Its sweats inherit this club culture: cuts designed for movement, team colours, and durability expected by those who wash them after each session.

Club sweat Errea: from travel to the edge of the pitch

The Errea sweat is primarily designed as a team garment. In a club, it serves as a travel kit: all the players wear the same model, embroidered or printed with the badge, to arrive at the stadium as a group. The zippered versions can be removed in one motion when entering the field, without disturbing the strappings. The technical models, lighter in weight, are suitable for warm-ups, while the thicker cotton fleece sweats keep warmth during a winter match watched from the sideline. For a coach or manager, the hooded sweat remains the most practical garment for tournament afternoons.

Italian fit: what size to choose from Errea

Errea sweats follow a sporty cut, quite close to the body at the shoulders and arms, in line with Italian teamwear brands. A player with a wider build should check the chest measurement in the size guide, or even take a size up. The brand offers its team models from junior to adult sizes, allowing a whole rugby school to dress in the same piece. For maintenance, a wash inside out at 30 degrees protects badges and markings; avoid fabric softener, which clogs technical fibres, as well as the tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions

How is Errea pronounced?

The name is spelled Erreà, with a grave accent on the final a, and is pronounced in the Italian way by rolling the r's, with the stress on the last syllable. In France, it is often written without the accent.

Does Errea make its clothes in Italy?

The brand has claimed since 1988 to have full control over its production, from design to manufacturing, in its factory in San Polo di Torrile, near Parma. This is one of its arguments against large international equipment manufacturers.

Why do so many clubs choose Errea?

A specialist in teamwear, the brand offers product ranges in many colours, allowing a club to equip its players with an identical model. Its garments are also known for their durability over washes.

Which Errea sweat for a child in a rugby school?

The size is chosen based on the child's height rather than their age, with a little ease for growth, but not too much so that the sleeves don't get in the way. A zippered model is easier to put on over muddy training clothes.

How can you prevent an embroidered badge from deforming?

Wash the sweat inside out, at a low temperature, and avoid fast spinning, which pulls on the embroidery. When ironing, iron on the reverse side, never directly on the badge, to avoid crushing its relief.
