VS Wear designs and manufactures custom rugby jerseys for Australian clubs, schools and representative squads, built from heavy-duty fabric that genuinely survives scrums, rucks and tackles rather than a lightweight jersey template borrowed straight from a non-contact sport and rebranded for rugby.
Every jersey is produced factory-direct, giving your club 30 to 40% savings on premium quality rugby jerseys, backed by a free design service and a 100% remake promise if the delivered jersey does not match the artwork and production files you approve.
From junior minis and schoolboy grades through to representative sides and senior premier clubs, our design team works with rugby clubs across Australia, understanding that a jersey grabbed, pulled and stretched at every single contest needs to be genuinely built for that reality, not just look sharp for a pre-season team photo before the season's first real tackle.
Rugby puts more direct load on a jersey than almost any other football code, and every fabric and stitching decision here is built around that reality.
Heavy-duty 220 to 280gsm performance polyester fabric is built and chosen specifically for contact, and reinforced double-needle stitching runs throughout the collar, sleeves and body, exactly the areas that take the most grabbing and pulling during a tackle. Moisture-wicking technology keeps players cool during match play, so the jersey performs through 80 minutes of hard running just as well as it performs locked into a scrum. Fully sublimated designs offer unlimited colour options at no extra setup cost, giving your club genuine design freedom rather than a limited colour palette to choose from, with the option of complex patterns, gradients and sponsor placements worked into the one sublimated design at no additional charge.

Most jersey failures happen at the collar and under the arms, exactly where opponents grab during a tackle attempt, which is why double-needle stitching is applied specifically to those points rather than uniformly across the whole garment. A jersey that survives one contest but tears apart in the second is not saving your club money, regardless of how attractive the upfront price looked at the time of ordering. This is exactly why VS Wear treats rugby fabric selection as its own distinct decision, separate from a jersey built for a non-contact sport, rather than applying the same generic sportswear template across every code regardless of how physically demanding it actually is.
Pantone colour matching to your exact club colours means a design refresh or a brand new jersey comes out looking exactly as approved, not a rough approximation of what your club actually wanted.
Athletic fit is available with a traditional rugby collar, V-neck or crew neck options, so your club can choose the classic traditional look or a more modern alternative depending on genuine preference. High-resolution printing of team logos and crests keeps every fine detail genuinely sharp, and sponsor branding placement is available on the front, back and sleeves for genuinely maximum visibility across the whole jersey during play.
Custom player names and numbers are available with a choice of sizing and font options, giving your club a genuinely personalised finish rather than a generic stock number applied the same way to every single jersey in the run. Get a quote for your club's design and our team will confirm collar style and branding placement before your design goes into production. Sponsor visibility matters more in rugby than in many other codes, since a jersey is worn for the full match without a rotation break, giving front, back and sleeve branding sustained visibility across the entire 80 minutes of a fixture rather than only intermittent glimpses caught between interchanges.
Jerseys can be ordered as part of a complete matching kit including rugby shorts and socks, so your whole squad presents one genuinely coordinated look from the first whistle right through to the final tackle. A club ordering the full kit in one job also simplifies the whole purchasing decision, replacing three separate supplier conversations, three separate invoices and three separate delivery dates with a single mock-up and a single approval step.
Ordering the full kit together avoids the risk of a slight colour mismatch that can creep in when jerseys and shorts are sourced from different production runs months apart, since every garment shares the same approved artwork file from the outset, right down to the exact shade dyed into each piece.
Turnaround is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from design approval, and as an Australian owned and operated manufacturer VS Wear keeps minimum orders flexible.
Sample jerseys with fabric swatches and digital mockups are available for larger orders, giving your club genuine confidence in colour, fit and fabric weight before committing to a full squad run of thirty, forty or more jerseys. Larger club orders in particular benefit from this step, since a mistake caught on a single sample jersey is a minor inconvenience, while the same mistake caught only after a full production run is a genuine, costly setback for club committees and volunteers already managing a tight annual budget. Ladies and mixed-gender team fits are available alongside standard men's sizing, so a growing women's XVs program or a mixed touch or sevens side is never stuck wearing a standard men's cut simply resized to fit, and because your approved design and colours stay on file, reordering rugby jerseys in future seasons is straightforward and does not require redesigning from scratch. Clubs regularly return year after year for a straightforward top-up as new players sign on, using the exact same approved artwork and colour file that produced the club's original squad kit in the first place.
