The Wales national rugby team sports a red shirt, white shorts and red socks. They also don another jersey whenever their shirt clashes with that of their opponents. In such cases, they wear steel shirts with dark grey flashes. Reebok manufactures their uniform presently while the team is sponsored SA Brain, a brewery in Cardiff. AS promotion of alcoholic beverages is banned in France, they use the term ‘Brawn'. Since 2004 they are sporting a tight fitting body hugging uniform for their matches. The Wales shirt has the Prince of Wales' feather symbol on it. The symbol consists of three white feathers behind a gold coronet. The national team wears a badge on their shirts which depicts the logo of the Welsh Rugby Union.
The shirts are designed in such a way that it makes the players look very smart and striking. All the shirts have buttoned top opening giving it an attractive look. The shirts are loose fitting allowing air to pass through. The collars are made stiffer so that the players get more comfort. Initially only cotton was used for making the shirts but nowadays synthetic is used for making the shirts as it is very difficult for the tacklers to grab.
