The latest from rugby clubs

When do clubs reveal their match jerseys

Clubs in the Top 14 generally present their jerseys during the summer, between the end of the final phase in June and the start of the championship at the end of August. The home jersey is usually revealed first, during an event with supporters or via a video on the club's social media, followed by the away jersey and, for some, a third jersey. The manufacturers take advantage of this renewal to change the cut, collar, or materials, without altering the colours that define the club’s identity.

Special editions and anniversary jerseys

In addition to their usual kits, some clubs release a jersey for a specific event: anniversary of the founding, tribute to a legend, a game relocated to a large stadium, or a match in support of a charity. Montpellier, for instance, celebrated its fortieth anniversary, having been founded in 1986. These special editions, worn for one or a few matches and produced in limited quantities, are particularly appealing to collectors, especially in their authentic version, identical to what the players wear on the pitch.

Cut, material, collar: what changes from year to year

A new jersey doesn't always fit like the previous year's since the manufacturer can change or revise its cut. Player versions are becoming increasingly fitted, made from stretchable, lightweight, and quick-drying fabrics, designed to offer less grip to the opponent. The supporter version, which is roomier, retains a thicker, more comfortable fabric for everyday wear. Before ordering, it's advisable to compare the size guide for the model with the measurements, laid flat, of a jersey you already own and feel comfortable in.

Good deals

Great deals can be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, Black Friday. Items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key events throughout the year follow a steady order: Black Friday in late autumn, year-end holidays, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school promotions.

Frequently asked questions

Is a jersey worn for a whole season?

Yes, the home and away jerseys are used from September to June, except for special matches. Clubs only renew them the following summer when presenting the kits for the upcoming season.

What is a pre-match jersey?

It’s the shirt players wear to warm up on the pitch before kick-off. Often more graphic than the match jersey, it also looks great in the stands or for training.

Why does the sponsor change on the new jerseys?

The partners displayed on the jersey are tied to the club through limited-time contracts. Each time a kit is renewed, a new sponsor may appear on the front, back, or sleeves.

Can a rugby club change its manufacturer?

Yes, clubs sign with a manufacturer for several years, after which they can change. The new partner then brings its own cut, materials, and style, hence it’s important to review the size guide.

Do the latest jerseys come in children's sizes?

Most clubs offer their home jersey in children's sizes, and sometimes the away jersey. You should choose based on the child’s height in centimeters rather than their age, allowing a bit of room for growth.
