A rugby costume is a sports shirt and trousers outfit with a large number on the back, often featuring padded shoulders to create the broad silhouette of a player. Men usually choose from sizes S to XL, while a rugby costume for your child is selected based on their height rather than age—for example, size 140 for approximately 8 to 10 years. In addition to other sports costumes, these rugby outfits stand out with their padded shoulders and knee inserts, mimicking a real player.
Classic rugby shirt, football outfit, or zombie: which rugby costume should you choose?
- The classic rugby outfit combines a red shirt with white and black accents and white trousers with knee pads, available for both men and children.
- Football outfits feature padded shoulders or trousers with padding on the thighs and knees, in dark blue and white, black and orange, or black and red.
- The zombie versions have a frayed, pointed hem that looks as though the outfit has been torn, and can be worn by men or children during Halloween.
- One men's jumpsuit comes with a matching helmet, while one children's model includes a blue fabric helmet with a white face cage.
Shirt, trousers and helmet: how to complete the rugby outfit
Most sets include only the shirt and trousers, and several models explicitly state that the helmet, ball, socks and shoes are not included. The men's set in blue and orange is an exception, as it consists of a shirt, two arm sleeves, trousers and socks. If you want to look like a player with a helmet, choose a separate rugby helmet in a colour that matches your shirt. White sports socks and black sports shoes from your own wardrobe will complete the rugby outfit.
A rugby ball under your arm and a sports partner by your side
An inflatable rugby ball gives you something to hold as you imitate a player's throw. If you are going as a duo, a friend in a boxer costume will create a completely different sports silhouette next to yours.
