The selection of Black Friday kids' jerseys combines two families: the match jerseys of clubs and teams, to support Stade Toulousain, UBB, the French XV or the All Blacks, and the training jerseys Force XV and Gilbert, designed to withstand the sessions at rugby school. Styles adapted to the body shape of children, from the first stage to youth tournaments.

Supporter jerseys for kids feature the colours and badges of professional teams. On the club side, the Toulouse Stadium offers home, away, third, and fourth versions, alongside Stade Rochelais, UBB, Racing 92, RC Toulon, and Castres. For national teams, the All Blacks jersey is striking in all black, while Scotland and Italy present kits emblazoned with the World Cup logo. Cut larger than the players' versions, these jerseys can be worn at the stadium, while watching a match on TV, or at school.
The Black Friday for kids also includes:
All kids' products from the Black Friday are gathered on the kids page.
For training sessions, the training jersey is preferred over the club jersey: simpler and cheaper to replace, it withstands mud, tackles, and repeated washes. The Force XV Victoire, made by a rugby specialist brand, is designed for clubs that dress an entire group in the same colours. The Gilbert Xact Striped, featuring wide horizontal stripes, harks back to traditional British rugby jerseys. Made from technical polyester, these jerseys dry quickly between sessions and wick away sweat during exertion, even on long tournament days.
The cut depends on the use. For the stadium and everyday wear, a straight and slightly loose cut accommodates a base layer in winter and follows the child's growth. For playing, a more fitted jersey provides less grip for the opponent. Long sleeves, like on Scotland's home jersey, protect from the cold during January matches, while short sleeves are the norm for training. For sizing, measure the child's height and chest circumference, then compare these measurements to the brand's size guide.
Outside of the Black Friday, great deals can be found in the good deals, clearance, and sales. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. The year's key moments follow a steady order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, the French Days in spring, then summer sales and back-to-school.
Two training jerseys ensure that one is always clean, even with a session during the week and a mini-tournament on Saturday. The jersey of the preferred club is reserved for match days and outings to the stadium.
New Zealand has played in black since the late nineteenth century, and the nickname All Blacks was established during their 1905 tour in Great Britain. The silver fern, the country's emblem, adorns the chest of the jersey.
Wash the jersey inside out at thirty degrees with a colour detergent, and let it dry in the shade. Direct sunlight and the tumble dryer quickly dull bright colours and badges.
For a tall teenager, the smallest adult size may fit, but its cut is longer and wider in the shoulders. Compare the chest measurement to the brand's guide before choosing between children's and adult sizes.
In rugby, the number designates a position: from one to eight for the forwards, with the hooker wearing two, then nine for the scrum-half, ten for the fly-half, and fifteen for the full-back. The substitutes take the following numbers.
