01 — In short
Why are rugby shirts made tougher than football shirts?
Rugby shirts are grabbed and pulled in every tackle, so they use heavier, stretchier fabric (about 200–260 GSM, or heavy cotton for classic shirts), double-stitched seams and bartacks at stress points. Many modern shirts are cut tight so there is less fabric to grab.

03 — Choosing the fabric
Match fabrics compared.
The fabric decides how a kit feels, breathes and takes a print. These are the knits used most for team kits.
| Fabric | Typical weight | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester interlock | 130–170 GSM | Smooth face. The best surface for sharp sublimation. |
| Birdseye mesh | 120–160 GSM | Small holes for airflow. A classic football shirt fabric. |
| Dazzle | 140–180 GSM | Shiny, tight knit. Typical for basketball and US sports. |
| Air-knit mesh | 180–240 GSM | Heavier, open knit. Used for ice hockey jerseys. |
| Polyester–elastane | 180–260 GSM | Stretch for fitted cuts: rugby, volleyball, handball. |
These are polyester or polyester blends, so they can be sublimated edge to edge.

06 — Selling in Europe, the UK or the US
Labels for your market.
Tell us where you sell and we set the labels up for that market. If you need lab test reports, ask in your enquiry and we confirm what is possible in your quote.
European Union
Fibre names and percentages on the label under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Care symbols to ISO 3758 are standard. REACH limits certain substances in textiles, such as some azo dyes.
United Kingdom
Fibre composition labels under the Textile Products (Labelling and Fibre Composition) Regulations 2012, plus care symbols.
United States
Fibre content, country of origin ("Made in Pakistan") and your RN number or company name under the FTC textile rules, and care instructions under the FTC Care Labeling Rule.
Kids' sizes
Drawstrings in children's clothing follow EN 14682 in Europe. In the US, children's products need CPSIA tracking labels, and hood drawstrings on children's upper outerwear are treated as a hazard (16 CFR 1120).
League rules
Leagues and governing bodies set their own kit rules, such as number sizes, colours and sponsor areas. Send your league rules with your enquiry and they go on your spec sheet.
07 — How ordering works
Brief, sample, then bulk.
Send your logo, colours, sizes and quantity for the rugby kit. You get a written spec and quote, approve a sample, then your order is made, checked and packed under your label. Minimums and dates are confirmed in your quote.
What is the difference between body-fit and classic rugby shirts?
Body-fit shirts are tight and stretchy, so they are harder to grab. Classic shirts are looser and often cotton, popular for social teams and supporter wear.
Do you make rugby league and sevens kits?
Yes. The same build works for union, league and sevens. Tell us the format and your league rules.
Can rugby shirts be sublimated?
Polyester and polyester–elastane shirts can be fully sublimated. Cotton shirts are printed or embroidered instead.
