Kids' swimwear sale

Home, away, third or fourth: the kits of a club

A Top 14 club fields several kits each year, each with its role. The home shirt features the historical colours: red and black for Stade Toulousain, founded in 1907, and for RC Toulon, yellow and black for Stade Rochelais, blue and white for Castres Olympique. The away shirt comes into play when the colours of the two teams blend on screen or on the pitch. The third and fourth kits, which are more free, often celebrate an anniversary, a city, or a special match-up, like the fourth shirt from Toulouse. In children's sizes, these versions keep the crest, sponsors, and design of the adult model, adjusted to suit the silhouette of a young supporter.

Gilbert Xact and Force XV Victory for rugby school

For Wednesday sessions, a training shirt is better than a club shirt, which you might hesitate to drag through the mud. The Gilbert Xact, made of breathable polyester that wicks away sweat, is recognised by its broad horizontal stripes and cotton twill mao collar; its seams are reinforced at stress points, where the pulls from scrums can cause ordinary fabric to give way. It comes in children’s sizes from five years old. The Force XV Victory, designed for club kits, also prioritises durability and quick drying between training sessions. These shirts withstand tackles and repeated washes without losing their shape, making them the foundation of the kit for under eight to under fourteen age groups.

Which shirt size for a child

The size of a children's shirt is expressed in age, but it’s the height of the child that matters: a ten-year model generally corresponds to a child about 140 centimetres tall. So, measure the child standing, barefoot, and compare with the brand's sizing guide, as a tall eight year old often wears a ten-year size. For a supporter’s shirt, one size up allows room to grow without being restrictive; for a training shirt, it’s better to have a close fit, which offers less grip to opponents. During sales, intermediate sizes often sell out first: knowing the exact measurement prevents you from settling for a model that’s too large.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you customize a child's shirt with a Name of a player?

Yes, many children’s shirts allow for a Name and number of a player to be added, in the official typography of the club or federation. Since the shirt then becomes personalised, it’s important to check the size carefully before ordering.

Can a club shirt be worn in matches at rugby school?

In competition, young players wear the kit provided by their club, in the team's colours. A professional club shirt is mainly worn in the stands and at training, where it often motivates more than a neutral kit.

Why do clubs change their shirt each year?

Clubs renew their kits to add new sponsors, celebrate an anniversary, or offer a new design to their supporters. A shirt from a previous year retains exactly the same quality of manufacturing as when it was released.

What material is a rugby shirt for young players made of?

Most are made of polyester, which is lightweight, breathable, and quick drying, with thicker fabric and sturdier seams than a sports t-shirt. Cotton, once the norm, has nearly disappeared as it becomes heavy when wet.

How do you remove mud from a rugby shirt?

Let the mud dry, brush it off, then rinse the shirt in cold water before washing it inside out at thirty degrees. Hot water sets dirt and grass stains, and the tumble dryer damages crests and prints.
