Rugby shirts
Rugby shirts are required on the field of play. They can be made out
of cotton, nylon, or polyester. Jerseys should be made of a breathable
texture to allow the skin to cool due to the evaporation of perspiration.
Jerseys also protect a player from abrasions suffered on the field of
play.
Rugby shirts come in various colors. Many of the jerseys are multi-colored
while some are of one color. Red is a popular color for jerseys. Many
shirts have the team logo printed on the shirt for easy identification.
Some rugby shirts offer protection from injury due to colliding bodies.
These shirts protect the shoulders, collar bones, and the upper spine.
Some also offer protection for the sternum and biceps. Body protection
shirts are worn by many famous rugby players.
