Rooster, fern, thistle: the story of the emblems
On a team's jersey, the emblem almost always tells a page of history. The rooster first appeared on the French jersey in 1911, at the initiative of captain Marcel Communeau, after the first victory for the Blues against Scotland. The silver fern adorns the black of New Zealand, the thistle the navy blue of Scotland, the red rose the white of England, and the shamrock the green of Ireland. Wales displays the three feathers of the Prince of Wales, South Africa the springbok, and Argentina a jaguar that journalists confused in 1965 with another feline, a mix-up that gave the team its nickname.

Home, away and World Cup editions
Teams renew their jerseys regularly, often aligned with the World Cup, held every four years. The home jersey retains the historical colours; the away jersey comes into play when two kits look too similar, a confusion that the referee must eliminate before kick-off. Editions designed for a World Cup are recognised by a detail unique to the tournament, such as an inscription inside the collar, woven pattern, or special badge, and they remain among the most sought-after once the competition is over.
Supporter or authentic version: which cut to choose
The supporter version prioritises comfort: straight cut, softer fabric, emblem often embroidered or heat-sealed. The authentic version is what the players wear: very fitted, lighter and more stretchy, it includes the technical details of the match jersey. British and Irish jerseys often fit close to the body, even in the supporter version: in case of doubt, opting for the larger size avoids a fit that is tight at the shoulders. For a gift, the supporter version is generally the easiest to choose without knowing the exact measurements.
