Cardiff Blues, the club of the Welsh capital
Our Cardiff Blues page brings together the quarter zip tracksuit jacket, the waterproof jacket, the polo, the t-shirt, and the zipped sweatshirt of the capital city's club, now called Cardiff Rugby. A range to show off the sky blue and black of Cardiff every day, heirs to a club founded in 1876 and located in the heart of the city at Cardiff Arms Park.
The blue and black of Cardiff.
From Cardiff RFC to Cardiff Rugby, a century and a half of history
Cardiff RFC was established in 1876 from the union of Glamorgan Football Club and Cardiff Wanderers, becoming one of the most prestigious clubs in Welsh rugby. When Wales created its regional professional teams in 2003, the capital got its own team, named Cardiff Blues in reference to its sky blue and black jersey. The team changed its name to Cardiff Rugby in 2021, more true to the heritage of the historical club, while keeping its colours and its city centre stadium.

Cardiff Arms Park and the European finals of 2010 and 2018
The club plays at Cardiff Arms Park, by the River Taff, right in the city centre, next to the Principality Stadium where the Welsh national team plays. On the European stage, it won the European Challenge in 2010, beating Toulon at the Vélodrome in Marseille, then in 2018 in Bilbao, winning by a point against Gloucester thanks to a penalty from Gareth Anscombe in the closing minutes. These two finals remain the highlights of the club's professional era.
Waterproof jacket, quarter zip, polo: the club's range
The waterproof jacket is the most useful item for watching a match at Arms Park, especially during the downpours from the Atlantic. The quarter zip jacket, with a high collar, can be worn over a t-shirt for pre-match or cooler evenings. The zip hoodie offers a softer alternative for everyday wear. On sunny days, the polo and the Cardiff-coloured t-shirt are enough, both in the city and in the stands. All these items can be washed at thirty degrees, inside out, to preserve the badge.

Frequently asked questions
Which championship does Cardiff play in?
Cardiff competes in the United Rugby Championship, which includes teams from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy, and South Africa. The club also participates in the European cups organised by the EPCR.
What are the club's colours?
The club has long played in sky blue and black, hence the nickname Blues that has stuck with the team. These two colours are found throughout the supporter range, from the waterproof jacket to the polo.
Who is Cardiff's long-standing rival?
It is Newport, the opponent in the club's very first match in December 1876. The Welsh derbies of the regional era, particularly those around the festive season, remain very popular events at Arms Park.
What item should Cardiff gift to a supporter?
The polo and the t-shirt suit all styles and all seasons. For a supporter who follows matches outdoors, the waterproof jacket or the quarter zip jacket would be more useful.
How to choose the right size for the Cardiff range?
Take your usual size for the polo and the t-shirt. For jackets, which are often layered over a sweater, going up a size allows for more room in the shoulders.
