France Rugby Polo 1981

The France Rugby Polo 1981 draws its design inspiration from a golden era of French rugby. The year 1981 was significant in rugby history, marked by the prowess and style of the French national team and their Selection XV. This period saw France embrace a distinct aesthetic, incorporating the Tri-colour crest for non-test matches. These jerseys were worn with pride during regional games and tour matches, symbolizing the strength and unity of French rugby.

Traditionally, France’s rugby jerseys feature the famous rooster emblem for international matches. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, the Tri-colour crest became a signature for non-test games. Notably, on their 1975 tour of South Africa, the French team sported this crest throughout all nine games. Inspired by this legacy, the France Rugby Polo 1981 brings this historical detail to life. The design integrates the tri-colour crest applique on one side of the chest, paired with the embroidered ‘SELECTION XV FRANCAISE’ on the opposite side.

Moreover, the Navy colour base of the polo is elevated with a Royal Bee arm and collar trim, reflecting the elegance associated with French rugby. Additionally, a classic tricolour placket trim adds sophistication, while the woven label near the hem ensures a premium finish.

The Ellis Rugby French Rugby Polo 1981 is not only about honoring tradition but also about craftsmanship. In addition to the rich historical references, the polo includes the distinctive ‘Ellis Rugby’ crest in royal blue applique on the arm. This subtle touch celebrates Ellis Rugby’s commitment to quality and heritage. Furthermore, every detail—from the stitching to the color combination—has been carefully curated to reflect the grandeur of French rugby’s past.
