Red and black, sky and white: the colours of French clubs
The colours of a club are first seen on its home shirt. Stade Toulousain, founded in 1907, and RC Toulon, established in 1908, share red and black. Racing 92, heir to the Racing Club de France created in 1882, plays in sky and white, like Aviron Bayonnais, founded in 1904. Stade Rochelais shows off yellow and black, while Union Bordeaux-Bègles sports burgundy and maroon. Stade Français, founded in 1883, broke the mould under the presidency of Max Guazzini with its pink shirts, which have become a signature of the Parisian club.
The other shirts
Sales also come in different forms:
All shirt sales are gathered on the shirt sales page.
Pre-match, Heritage, or training: shirts beyond the match
The pre-match shirt is for warm-ups: more graphic, often lighter, it allows supporters to wear a different style compared to the official kit, as seen with Stade Toulousain or RC Toulon. The Heritage shirt with long sleeves from Stade Toulousain harks back to the look of the past kits, offering a retro style that is gladly worn in the stands. The sleeveless training shirt is intended for sessions in hot weather and leaves the arms free for passes and tackles, just like those worn by Toulouse players.
The third authentic shirt from Stade Français and the player versions
The authentic version is what the players wear: finer and more breathable fabric, a close fit, elastic zones on the sides to make it harder to grab. RC Toulon, Stade Toulousain, and Stade Français offer it, the latter also having it in its third kit, the third set of shirts launched when home and away kits blend with the opposing team's. It fits smaller than a supporter version: one size up from usual is advisable, especially for a forward with broad shoulders.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Top 14 and Pro D2?
Top 14 is the elite of the French championship, with fourteen clubs; Pro D2 forms the second professional tier, with sixteen clubs. Promotions and relegations connect the two divisions at the end of each season.
Why is Racing called Racing 92?
The name refers to Hauts-de-Seine, department number 92, where the club plays at Paris La Défense Arena. It descends from the Racing Club de France, founded in 1882 and one of the pioneers of French rugby.
What is the Brennus shield?
It’s the trophy awarded to the champion of France in rugby since 1892, designed by Charles Brennus, an engraver and pioneer of French rugby. The players of the winning club lift it at the end of the final.
Is a club shirt machine washable?
Yes, at thirty degrees and inside out, to protect the badge and logos of the partners. Fabric softener is avoided, as it clogs the technical fibres, and tumble drying is out, as it can peel off the prints.
How to choose the size of a club shirt for a child?
Junior sizes are given in age or height: it’s best to rely on the child’s actual height rather than their age. Choosing the next size up allows the shirt to be worn for longer.
