How to Order a Custom Rugby Kit

This rugby kit ordering guide walks club organisers, coaches and team managers through each step of our rugby order form, so you know what to have ready before you start and what happens after you press send.

Rugby kit ordering guide: the steps at a glance

1. Choose your kit: rugby jerseys, rugby shorts or full rugby kits.
2. Send your design: a crest, a sketch or just your club colours.
3. Pick the print: sublimation or another decoration method.
4. Choose fit, collar, sleeves, shorts and fabric.
5. Add sizes, names and numbers for every player.
6. Approve your free digital proof, then production starts.

Step 1: Choose your rugby kit

Start by deciding what the squad needs. The order form offers three choices:

• Rugby jerseys on their own, if your players already have shorts.
• Rugby shorts on their own, to replace worn pairs or match a new jersey.
• Rugby uniforms, the full kit of jersey and shorts, the usual choice for a new season or a new club.

Most clubs order a full kit for the first team and then add shorts or extra jerseys later as the squad grows.

Step 2: Send your crest, colours and design idea

Upload your club crest, a sponsor logo, a sketch or a photo of a kit you like. If you only know your colours, that is enough to start: free design help is included, so you do not need a designer.

Tell us your exact club colours if you have them. Our sublimation colour guide helps you match Pantone shades, so your navy, maroon or bottle green comes out the way your members expect.

Step 3: Pick the print

The order form lists sublimation, screen printing, embroidery, tackle twill, chenille patches and DTF (direct to film).

For match jerseys, most clubs choose sublimation printing. The colours, crest, sponsors, names and numbers go into the fabric itself, so they do not crack, peel or fade when the kit is pulled in a tackle or washed every week. Sublimation also lets you use hoops, stripes, gradients and full-colour designs.

Embroidery and patches suit crests on training wear or a classic look, but sublimation is the practical choice for a kit that takes a beating every weekend.

Step 4: Choose fit, collar, sleeves, shorts and fabric

Each of these choices changes how the kit looks and how it plays:

• Fit: pro-fit, athletic, classic, women’s, youth or relaxed. Close fits are harder for opponents to grab; relaxed fits suit training and supporters’ wear.
• Collar: classic rugby collar, grandad (band) collar, crew neck, V-neck, mock neck, polo collar or Henley neck.
• Sleeves: sleeveless, short, raglan, long or cuffed long sleeves.
• Shorts: standard, base layer, women’s or training shorts.
• Fabric: poly-spandex stretch, polyester interlock, heavy polyester knit, bird-eye, cotton jersey or poly-cotton blend.

For match kits, a polyester fabric with some stretch is the usual pick, because it wicks sweat, resists abrasion and carries sublimation colours well. Cotton and poly-cotton suit casual and fan wear better than match play. Our rugby kit fabric guide compares the options in detail.

Step 5: Add sizes, names and numbers

Enter the quantity for each size. The rugby sizes cover men’s (XS to 5XL), women’s and youth sizes, so one order can kit out your senior men, women’s team and juniors together.

Then fill in the roster with each player’s name and number. You can mix sizes, names and numbers freely in the same order, and the minimum is 10 pieces in total, which suits a single squad.

Tip: collect sizes from every player before you order, and add a few spare jerseys for new members and replacements during the season.

Step 6: Approve your proof, then production starts

Before anything is printed, we send you a free digital proof showing the colours, crest, sponsors, names and numbers. If the colours are off or a name is misspelt, you ask for changes and approve only when it is right.

Production takes 5 to 7 working days after you approve the design, without shipping. Shipping is quoted for each order, and your delivery date is confirmed when the order is approved.

Every order is checked on fabric, stitching, sizing and print quality before it leaves our factory (quality control).

Payment and order protection

You can pay by Western Union, MoneyGram, Ria, Remitly or Xoom.

Every order is covered by order protection: a 100% refund if your order specs are not followed or it is late without notice, and a free replacement if anything arrives damaged.
