In short
A custom rugby kit from Blackthorn World — sublimated jersey, shorts and socks — costs $22–$32 per set FOB at 30 sets per design. Jerseys use 220–270 GSM polyester-spandex that stretches but resists grabbing; rugby league jerseys alone are $12.95–$16.50. Kits ship door to door to clubs in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, quoted in GBP, EUR, AUD or NZD.
A rugby jersey has to survive the tackle
Rugby is the hardest test any team kit faces: grabbed, pulled, dragged through mud and washed every week. A custom teamwear manufacturer can choose a heavier, tighter-knit fabric, reinforce the seams and still sublimate every sponsor in full colour.
Blackthorn World makes rugby union, rugby league, sevens and touch kits for clubs, schools and universities from its own factory, with 8 in-house sublimation printers.

Fabrics and construction
- 220–270 GSM polyester-spandex — tight, stretch knit that is hard to grip and recovers its shape.
- Body-fit or classic cut — tight forward-pack fit or roomier backs and juniors' fit.
- Reinforced seams — twin-needle stitching through shoulders and side seams.
- Collars — rugby collar, crew or grandad; compare in the collar styles guide.
- Shorts — heavy twill or stretch, with reinforced crotch and gripper waist.
- Socks — hooped or sublimated, cushioned foot.
Union, league, sevens and touch
Union clubs want hooped heritage kit and heavy jerseys; league and sevens sides prefer lighter, tighter fits. Touch and tag teams need light shirts and shorts — see touch football uniforms. Most clubs complete the order with GPS vests, a team tracksuit and kit bags. Browse every design on the rugby kits page.
