If you want to make sure your child is a lifelong fan of your rugby union team, then it's important to start out early. Buying them some cute and comfortable rugby union gear is a great way to get them showing their support of the team from a young age. Here are some options you can consider buying for the junior rugby fan in your life. 

Scarves

As rugby is a winter sport, warmer gear like a scarf can be a good option. Not only do these show your support for the team when being worn normally, but they can also be waved above the head when your team scores which can be great fun if you are attending a game and want to celebrate with the crowd. Commercially made scarves tend to be an easy option as they can be tossed in the wash and cleaned with most other clothing. 

Hoodies

Rugby union hoodies are a great option for kids as the jumpers are warm and snuggly. The hood can be flipped up on a particularly cool day which is good for small children. The kids can also sink their hands into the pockets if it gets really cold. Professional rugby union hoodies are also very good quality so that they can be a washed and dried repeatedly while still looking great. They can even get handed down to younger siblings as they tend to maintain a great appearance over many wears.

Visors or hats

While rugby is played in winter, it can still get sunny and the sun can glare even on a cool day. Visors and hats can be a good option to keep the sun out of your kid's eyes during a rugby match. Visors and hats can also be used day to day as many schools and kindergartens have strict 'no hat, no play' rules. That means that a rugby-branded hat will get a lot of use year round, both at games and during their day-to-day playing. 

If you are looking to get your child committed to your favourite rugby union team early on, then it's a great idea to buy them some junior rugby union supporter gear. They'll be able to wear their gear with you to games as well as during day-to-day activities. And keep in mind if you buy high quality clothing and accessories, you should be able to hand it down to other children.
