There are few things more important to a rugby player than their colors, their jersey and their team. Rugby uniforms are more than just useful pieces of gear, they represent team spirit and unity, and there’s no bigger sign of respect than swapping jerseys with your rivals after a particularly tough game.
If you’re looking for gear that your team can wear with pride, then custom rugby uniforms are the way to go. Not just because they look good, but because players know it’s specifically designed to help them perform at their best.
At La Crete, we specialize in manufacturing top-of-the-line rugby team uniforms wholesale through a direct print process known as sublimation.
How To Pick a Rugby Uniform
As anyone that’s played rugby can attest, the right uniform makes a huge difference. Wearing a shirt that’s too loose means opponents are going to grab it to bring you down. Similarly, if your jersey is too thick and heavy, you’ll probably overheat and tire out sooner than you have to.
- Style: Nowadays, most teams stick to modern, tight fitting jerseys that are harder to grab onto, but that doesn’t mean loose-fitting, old-school uniforms don’t have their place. Consider investing in both tighter jerseys for competition matches, and thicker shirts with more padding for practice bouts. Especially when training in colder climates.
- Design: Your team uniforms need numbers, names, a combination of colors, team shields and sponsor logos — all in the layout and positions you want. Look for a manufacturer who can support this, giving you as many customization options as possible to create the uniforms you want.
- Comfort: Whether you’re wearing puffy old school jerseys or tight modern shirts, comfort should always be a priority. Work with suppliers who stock a wide range of fabrics of different widths, weights and fiber composition to make the right uniforms for your team.
Why Choose Sublimated Rugby Uniforms
Sublimation uses heat to transfer your designs onto a special kind of paper and then onto the fabric. We choose sublimation over other printing methods because it provides certain advantages that allow us to manufacture the best customized rugby shirts on the market:
- Sublimation gives you endless options and flexibility in terms of design. Since we’re printing directly onto the fabric, without sewing or stitching, anything you can design, we can print.
- The lack of stitching or sewing decreases the time and labor needed, which means lower costs for you.
- Sublimated prints last longer than any other printing method.
- The nature of the process allows us to take on both small and large orders and still treat every piece of equipment with equal care.
