France Essentials Rugby White Hoodie Adidas

Technical specifications

Care tips

Wash at 30 °C maximum on a delicate cycle to preserve the softness of the French terry and prevent cotton shrinkage. Do not use bleach. Air drying is recommended; avoid the tumble dryer to keep the dimensions and flexibility of the fabric. Iron on low heat on the reverse side if necessary, avoiding the embroidery.

Design

100% cotton French terry offers a soft texture against the skin and a smooth outer surface, with inner loops that gently retain heat without feeling stifling. This brushed knit construction remains breathable and absorbs moisture well, ideal for everyday wear without a sauna effect. The standard fit — neither tailored nor oversized — ensures natural freedom of movement and makes layering easy (T-shirt underneath, jacket on top). Ribbed cuffs and waistband keep the hoodie in place without constricting. The drawstring hood allows a personalised fit depending on weather conditions.

France national team

The men's France rugby union team, nicknamed the XV de France or Les Bleus, competes in the Six Nations Championship every year and regularly ranks among the world's top nations. The FFR crest embroidered on this hoodie is the official symbol of the Fédération Française de Rugby, founded in 1919. The blue-white-red tricolour stripes on the sleeves recall national identity and form a historic visual code of the French supporter.

Adidas

Adidas has been the kit supplier of the Fédération Française de Rugby since 2018 and develops an "Essentials" range dedicated to supporters, distinct from match jerseys. This line prioritises everyday comfort and natural materials (cotton, cotton-polyester blends) over competition technical fabrics. The goal: offer official FFR apparel that is wearable beyond the stadium, with durability and timeless style.
