Badger Rugby's published custom-kit process moves from enquiry to a design visual and quote, then to written order confirmation and approval of the design proof. Build a roster around the supplier's current size chart, fit options, names and numbers, and the club's match-clothing requirements before confirming.
A club kit order is easier to review when fit, roster, design and delivery questions are settled before the order is confirmed. Suppliers use different size charts and order processes, so use the current guide for the supplier you choose and get the final specifications in writing.
A practical order sequence
| Step | Club task |
|---|---|
| 1. Enquiry | Choose the garment categories and share team requirements |
| 2. Size and fit | Set shirt, shorts and sock styles; collect sizes using the supplier’s charts |
| 3. Design review | Confirm colors, crest, sponsors, names and numbers on the visual proof |
| 4. Written confirmation | Recheck the item list, sizes, agreed design and timing against the order confirmation |
Badger Rugby describes a process that begins with an enquiry, followed by a design visual and quote. After the club confirms the requirements in writing, the supplier sends an order confirmation and proof for approval. This is one supplier’s published process, not a universal timetable or policy.
Build a clean size roster
Record each player’s size separately for each garment type; shirt sizes do not automatically map to shorts or socks. Use the exact supplier’s charts and ask whether it offers samples. If the range includes adult, women’s and junior garments, use the corresponding chart for each item rather than applying a single chart to everyone.
For match shirts, include the sleeve pattern and Law 4 check in the design review. World Rugby says a jersey sleeve must extend at least halfway from the shoulder point to the elbow. Compare the tight, snug and relaxed jersey fit guide before the club settles on a shirt style.
Review the proof and order details
Check colors, crest scale and placement, sponsor marks, name and number positions, size totals, garment model and any agreed artwork changes. Ask the supplier to state what happens if roster sizes change, a sample does not fit or a delivery date moves. Confirm the quote and expected delivery for your region before final approval; terms vary between suppliers.
For clothing rules, see World Rugby Regulation 12 and match equipment. Compare cold-weather base layers and kit bags for players and clubs when building the rest of the team kit list. Browse rugby kit and apparel.
