Cool Rugby Shirts and Sporty Rugby Boots at Lovell Rugby
Written by funker on August 31, 2010 – 3:19 pmRugby shirts or Jerseys are knitted garments worn by rugby league and rugby union players. Like majority of sports jerseys, rugby shirts normally have the team logo on the chest area and the team player’s number on the back. Rugby shirts that are not used in competitive plays sometimes waive this option. Sponsorship labels are usually placed on the abdominal area of the rugby shirt. Design usually contains five or six horizontal stripes called “hoops” in alternating colors. These differ from football shirts which commonly have vertical stripes.
Rugby shirts were customarily made of cotton but other teams now wear polyester and still others choose to mix cotton and synthetic fabrics. Polyester is the most common choice basically because it is more “slippery” than cotton or cotton blend which makes it harder to latch onto by potential tacklers. Even though tackling is considered illegal during the game, this is very hard to avoid so designers designed the shirts to minimize the availability of loose materials to grip during tackling situations.
