Rugby jerseys have a long history and are a unique piece of sportswear. That’s why you would obviously want to design your own.
The cotton material makes it so that it is only possible to weave it in horizontal striped lines. That’s where most of the iconic retro designs come from.
However if you want to design your own jersey nowadays an online designer only lets you pick the colours from pre-made designs. That’s what we wanted to change as we feel like you should have the full creativity in designing your own rugby jerseys here in Australia.
the rugby jumper to design your own
So as we said there are limitations to what you can design on your own with cotton. But limitations are often the birth of creativity. We love the old retro striped designs, so in our designer you can create stripes, change the size, colour them and drag them to place them where you want. This way you get full range to design the rugby jersey you always wanted.
What if you find it hard where to start? Well, then you can just go to our gallery page. You can find tons of recreated old designs of jerseys. Just choose one and then you can change its colours and change the positions of the stripes however you want to.
So what kind off designs do we have?
We host all of the famous striped jersey designs. Simple striped ones like the japanese national rugby team jersey, or the old striped wasps jerseys. But also more niche ones such as the 90’s steinlager all blacks training jerseys or the 90’s north sydney bears jerseys.
There are so many rugby jerseys you can recreate and the best thing is, the community of people who are designing their own jerseys and uploading them or just designing for fun is growing and growing. So more and more old jerseys will be recreated and more and more new jerseys will be created.
There are also several different options, you can toggle between long sleeves or short sleeves, make the back look different than the front and make the front look different than the back. Enough options, but what about the material?
why our dedication to 100% cotton custom rugby shirts
Cotton is way better, both for your own health and for the health of the world. Unlike polyester, which is made from plastic-based synthetic fibres, cotton is a natural material that does not contribute to the growing problem of microplastics. Every time synthetic clothing is washed, tiny plastic fibres can be released into the water system and eventually end up in our oceans and environment. Choosing 100% cotton therefore means choosing a more natural and sustainable alternative, while also reducing our reliance on plastic-based materials and the waste they create. For us, sustainability is not just about how a rugby shirt looks or performs, but also about the impact it has throughout its life. That is why we believe a great custom rugby shirt should be made from a material that is comfortable to wear, natural to the touch and kinder to our planet. Hence our dedication to only using this material.

Looking for inspiration?
If you need some inspiration for your jersey there are a few steps you should follow.
Step 1: Look at your clubs history
Dig into the archives of your local club. Look at old photo’s, the pictures on the walls. Talk to the people about the kits they used to wear. And not just the normal kits and the home kits, but also look at the tour kits, the anniversary kits or other merchandises. If you don’t have a local club, then look at your favourite pro teams. They definitely have lots of history in terms of merchandising and
Step 2: Check the design gallery
Look at our gallery page to see many designs made by the community. These include some of your favourite retro rugby designs or just designs people had come up by themselves.
Step 3: Look at other sports and sources
Rugby is not the only sport (regrettably). There are many other sports that were interesting garments, that could be recreated with their stripes in our designer. That could include sports such as football, AFL or even go to racing or sailing. There is just so much out there, so there will always be enough inspiration out there from sports. You could even look at fashion itself. Fashion often borrows heavily from sports, but you could try to recreate some of your favourite sweaters or other items.
