Rugby · Contact top
Custom rugby contact tops made to your design
Contact practice needs a top that can be grabbed, driven into and washed constantly without falling apart faster than the rest of the kit, which is why Stitch Next produces the contact top as a dedicated long-sleeve training piece separate from the matchday jersey.
Design stays functional rather than decorative: the club colour and crest are usually the only branding, applied by print or embroidery, since this garment is chosen for durability under repeated grabbing rather than for its appearance on a mock-up. Long sleeves give some coverage for rucking and mauling drills through colder training sessions.
Clubs and academies order contact tops for forwards-focused training sessions and pre-season contact conditioning, usually in bulk alongside training singlets. Sizes run youth XS to adult 5XL, with a free sample available first before the training squad order is placed and shipped worldwide. Clubs running pre-season conditioning camps often order these in the largest quantity of any training item.
