Rugby jerseys
Rugby jerseys are worn during game play to protect a player’s skin from cuts or abrasions. During cool weather, a player may wear a long-sleeved jersey that will aid him or her in keeping warm. All rugby shirts must be collared. Professional-style jerseys can be very tight-fitting and seem like a second skin to the players.
Rugby jerseys are sometimes striped to add beauty to the game. Striped shirts are made of different colors, normally two colors. They add contrast to a shirt and suggest movement while being worn. If a jersey is torn, the game is not stopped while a player changes his shirt.
Rugby jerseys are worn for comfort and freedom of movement. They should be made of a soft material that allows the skin to breathe. Good jerseys will wick away moisture from the skin and aid in cooling the player. Many shirts fit very loosely while some are skin tight.
