Sale Sharks club colours jerseys

From 1861 to 2006: the journey of the Sharks

Founded in 1861, Sale is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world. The club took on the name of Sharks with the arrival of professionalism, won the European Challenge in 2002 and 2005, and then the English championship in 2006, defeating Leicester forty-five to twenty in the final at Twickenham. The team was then led by the Frenchman Philippe Saint-André and included Jason Robinson, Charlie Hodgson, Mark Cueto, and Sébastien Chabal. In 2023, the Sharks reached the championship final again, narrowly losing to the Saracens, a sign of the club's return among the top English teams.

Salford, the blue and the shark of the crest

The Sharks have been playing since 2012 in a stadium in Barton-upon-Irwell, Salford, west of Manchester, which they share with the Salford rugby league club, after playing at Edgeley Park in Stockport from 2003 to 2012. Their home jersey is blue, with touches of white, and the crest features a stylised shark, echoing the name of the club. This modern identity, born with professionalism, coexists with an amateur heritage of over a century and a half, in a region where league and union share the audience.

Chabal, the Curry brothers, and the du Preez: the faces of the club

The blue jersey of the Sharks has brought Sébastien Chabal to prominence in England, who played as a flanker and then lock for the club from 2004 to 2009, before joining Racing Métro. He also played alongside Jason Robinson, world champion with England in 2003. The club has since built its recent identity around sibling pairs: the twin brothers Tom and Ben Curry, international flankers developed at the club, and the South African brothers du Preez, Jean-Luc, Dan, and Rob. This familial character, rare in the Premiership, nurtures the supporters' attachment to the jersey.

Frequently asked questions

What competition do the Sale Sharks play in?

They play in the Premiership, the English championship, and a European cup each year, either the Champions Cup or Challenge Cup depending on their ranking. They regularly encounter clubs from the French Top 14.

What size is a Sharks jersey?

You should measure your chest size under your arms. The supporter version fits normally, while the player version, which is more fitted, should be taken one size up for comfort.

Where is the town of Sale located?

Sale is a town in the suburbs southwest of Manchester, which gave its name to the club founded in 1861. The team plays across the region in Salford but keeps the name of its historic birthplace.

How to wash a blue rugby jersey?

Inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, to preserve the integrity of the technical fabric and the crest. Drying on a hanger, away from radiators, prevents the printed logos from cracking.

Is a Sharks jersey suitable for a child?

English clubs usually offer their jerseys in junior sizes, chosen according to age and build. For a child between two sizes, the larger one allows for growth.
