Ordering club kit is a job nobody volunteers for. Someone collects sizes in a spreadsheet, chases the last three people for money, guesses at the colours in an email to the supplier, and hopes the proof comes back right. Rugby Football Club Finder folds that whole job into the club’s profile: design the jersey in the club’s colours, publish it to the club shop, and let each member order their own, with the price dropping as the group order fills.
Design on the actual garment
The
jersey designer starts from a supplier’s real blank, the exact cut that will be printed, shown as a 3D garment you can turn with a drag. You pick a pattern from a library of hoops, sashes, chevrons, fades and panels, set each colour from the club’s registered palette or any colour you like, and place the club crest on the chest, sleeve or back. Every change appears on the front, back and both sides at once, so there is no “what does the back look like” email to the supplier.
Because the club’s colours are already on its profile, a new jersey opens in them. A club that registered a primary, secondary and accent gets all three in the swatches; a club that registered one gets sensible companions derived from it. The same designer handles the rest of a range, so shorts, socks, training tops and hoodies can share one colourway and be added to the same kit.
Or describe it and choose
If you would rather start from an idea than a pattern, describe the jersey in a sentence and the designer generates a board of concepts in your colours, each already placed on the garment. Pick the one that looks like your club and refine it by hand. Concept generation is the one thing in the app that costs money, a small prepaid charge per batch, because it calls a paid image model on your behalf. Everything else, from the manual designer to publishing and ordering, is free to the club.
Publish it to your club shop
A finished design is added to the kit, and the kit is published to the club’s shop in one step. You choose who can see it: everyone who visits the profile, approved members only, the playing squad only, or just you, for kit the club orders on its own behalf. A squad-only jersey never appears to a visitor, and a member of a different side never sees another side’s kit, because the audience is enforced where the listing is read rather than by hiding a button.
The retail price is always the supplier’s catalogue price for that blank, so a manager never has to set or update one. If the supplier reprices a garment, every club’s listing of it follows.
Group orders without the spreadsheet
Suppliers price by quantity: one singlet costs more than one of thirty. On a normal shop a player buying alone pays the top price forever, and the club has to organise a bulk order by hand to get the discount. Here, each listing shows both options. Order one now at the single price, or join the batch: pay the batch price, and when enough members have joined to reach the supplier’s quantity, the order is placed automatically with everyone’s sizes on it. There is no deadline to chase and no organiser to nag; a batch fills or keeps gathering, and every member who joined is already in. Payment is by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the delivery address comes from the wallet rather than a form; a member who changes their mind before the batch fills is refunded.
Where a supplier offers several price breaks, the buyer chooses which one to wait for: sooner and a little cheaper, or later and cheaper still. Fixed-price sets the supplier sells, a jersey and shorts bundle for example, appear in the shop as soon as the club has a listing for every piece, with their own batch counted in sets.
What the supplier receives
When an order is placed, the supplier gets one email with the complete order: the size run rolled up across buyers, the per-buyer breakdown for the club, the exact colour values for every zone, and the production artwork as an editable vector PDF with its SVG source. That artwork is exported when the design is published, not at checkout, so a batch that fills overnight still goes out with everything the print room needs.
