Castres Olympique jerseys, the Tarn blue

This page brings together the Castres Olympique jerseys: the adult home jersey in blue and white, and for young supporters, home, away and third jerseys in children's sizes. It also tells the story of the Tarn club, champion of France in 2013 and 2018, and gives our tips for choosing the right size.

The blue and white of Tarn.

The titles of CO, from 1949 to 2018

The Castres Olympique, founded in 1906, won its first championship titles in France in 1949 and 1950. It clinched the Brennus again in 1993, after a final against Grenoble, and then once more in 2013 against Toulon and in 2018 against Montpellier, each time as the underdog. For a city of around forty thousand inhabitants, this record is exceptional: the CO has built a reputation as a fighting, united club capable of defying predictions in the final stages.

Pierre-Fabre and the blue and white of Castres

The CO plays at the Pierre-Fabre stadium, named after the founder's laboratories based in Castres, which provided support and later ownership of the club. The stands, close to the pitch, make every match a daunting event for visitors. The home jersey is blue and white, the club's historic colours. The away and third jersey provide alternatives when the opponent wears similar colours, allowing the club to vary designs from year to year.

Child home, away and third jerseys: choosing wisely

For young fans, the CO offers three kits in child sizes. The home jersey in blue and white is the first choice, worn by players at Pierre-Fabre. The away and third jerseys appeal to children who already have the home jersey or prefer a more original design. Sizes are indicated by age, but it’s better to check height and chest size: a seven-year-old who is tall for their age often wears a size eight. For adults, the home jersey in supporter fit should be chosen in their usual size.

Frequently asked questions

Are there vintage jerseys from Castres Olympique?

Jerseys from the finals won in 2013 and 2018 are sought after by Tarn supporters and collectors. Those from the nineties, the time of the 1993 title, are even rarer.

What size Castres jersey for an adult?

Measure around the chest just under the arms, with the tape measure horizontal, and compare it to the brand guide. For more comfort around the shoulders and belly, one size up from usual is advisable.

How to prevent a child's jersey from getting damaged quickly?

Wash at thirty degrees, turned inside out, and rinse mud promptly after training. Do not use a tumble dryer: heat shrinks polyester and peels off printed logos.

Is the Castres jersey a good birthday gift?

Yes, for a child registered in a Tarn club or a young CO supporter, it’s a gift they can wear at the stadium and training. The size above their age gives room to grow.
