La Rochelle Stade Rochelais Gilbert rugby keychain foam ball

This Gilbert keychain faithfully reproduces a rugby ball in the emblematic colors of Stade Rochelais: yellow and black, the shades that have carried the maritime club's identity since its origins. Made from soft and resistant foam, it offers a pleasant grip and authentic feel reminiscent of a real ball's texture. Its compact size (approximately 8 cm in length) makes it easy to attach to a bag, keys or pouch, without bulk. Designed for supporters who wish to display their attachment to the La Rochelle club daily, this keychain suits both players and enthusiasts of all ages.

The Gilbert screen-printed marking guarantees durable finishing: the logo and colors resist repeated friction, even after several months of intensive use. The foam, lightweight and flexible, absorbs shocks without deforming, preserving the characteristic oval shape of the ball. The robust metal ring ensures secure fastening, with no risk of breakage under tension. A practical object as much as a symbolic one, so that La Rochelle rugby travels with you always.

Does the keychain resist sea water?

The foam withstands moisture, but rinsing with fresh water after prolonged contact with salt water extends the life of the marking.

What is the exact size of the ball?

Approximately 8 cm in length, about the size of a tennis ball, perfect for a key ring.

Does the Gilbert logo fade over time?

No, the screen printing resists daily friction if the object is not exposed to prolonged abrasive surfaces.

Care instructions

Polyurethane foam can be cleaned with warm soapy water, without vigorous wringing. Rinse with clear water and allow to air dry, away from direct heat source (radiator, sun). Avoid prolonged contact with rough or sharp surfaces that could tear the foam. If exposed to salt water (seaside), rinse quickly to preserve the brightness of the screen-printed marking.

Design

Gilbert uses closed-cell polyurethane foam, identical to that used in indoor training balls: lightweight, flexible, undeformable. This material absorbs impacts and instantly returns to its oval shape, even after compression. The screen-printed marking applies Stade Rochelais colors in successive layers, guaranteeing superior durability compared to simple adhesive transfer. The metal ring, continuously welded, supports repeated loading without risk of breakage — a detail that makes the difference for a daily accessory.

A flagship club of the Top 14, it has built its reputation on conquering play and demanding training. Wearing these colors means claiming membership in a community united by the ocean and rugby.
