Rugby clubs in clearance sale

Racing 92 and Stade Français, the two Parisian clubs

Paris is home to two historic clubs with opposing identities. The Racing 92 comes from the rugby section, created in 1890, of the Racing Club de France, a multi-sport club founded in 1882: staying true to its sky and white colours, it embraces a classic elegance in its home jerseys and training tops. The Stade Français, founded in 1883 by Parisian students, opted for a break from tradition: under the presidency of Max Guazzini, who arrived in 1992, the club adopted pink and bold patterned jerseys that challenged rugby's norms. Its third jersey in the authentic version perpetuates this graphic spirit.

The Union Bordeaux-Bègles, a union that has become European champion

The Union Bordeaux-Bègles was born in 2006 from the merger of Stade Bordelais and Bègles club, two historically rich neighbours. The club from Bordeaux took a significant step in May 2025 by winning its first Champions Cup, a victory achieved against Northampton at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Its supporters wear the home jersey or away kit, but also the sweatshirt and tracksuit jacket in the club's colours, along with the down jacket, which is very popular in the stands of Chaban-Delmas during winter matches.

Cardiff and Glasgow, the Celtic rugby

Two British clubs complete the selection. Long known as Cardiff Blues, the Welsh club renamed itself in 2021 as Cardiff Rugby and returned to its historic colours, sky blue and black; it plays at the Arms Park, in the heart of the city. The Glasgow Warriors won the final of the United Rugby Championship on June 22, 2024, by defeating the Bulls in Pretoria, an impressive feat on South African soil. Their Travel Player range, which includes the long-sleeved jersey and the sweatshirt worn by players while travelling, is easily worn outside the stadium. For Cardiff, polo shirts, t-shirts, and zipped jackets dress the supporters.

Sweatshirts, jackets, and coats in the club's colours

The jersey alone isn’t enough for a December match in the stands. The tracksuits from UBB and Stade Français, fitted close to the body, are worn over a t-shirt before kick-off, while the hooded sweatshirt from Racing 92 serves as a daily wear item. For the cold, the long down jacket from Stade Français covers down to the thighs, and the waterproof jacket from Cardiff shields against the typical downpours of Wales. In terms of sizes, these club garments follow a standard fit: you stick to your usual size, and go up a size to wear a down jacket over a sweatshirt.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between an authentic jersey and a supporter version?

The authentic jersey features the cut and technical fabric of the players: very fitted, stretchy, and resistant to tackles. The supporter version, which is roomier and more comfortable, is designed to be worn daily and in the stands.

Does a rugby jersey fit large?

Supporter versions fit normally but have slightly wider shoulders. Authentic versions are tailored to fit snugly to the body: choose a size up if you don’t want a form-fitting jersey.

What does a club's third jersey refer to?

It’s the third jersey, worn when home and away kits clash with those of the opponent. Clubs often allow themselves more creative designs, making it a sought-after item by collectors.

Where does Racing 92 play its matches?

Racing 92 plays at Paris La Défense Arena, in Nanterre, an indoor venue that accommodates over thirty thousand spectators in rugby configuration. The roof allows for play sheltered from rain and wind.

How do you wash a rugby jersey without damaging the logos?

Turn it inside out, wash it at thirty degrees on a delicate cycle without fabric softener, and let it dry flat. The tumble dryer and iron can peel off badges and heat-pressed sponsors.
