About the Barbarians Rugby Club
The Barbarians Football Club were founded in 1890 and are one of rugby's most distinctive institutions. They are an invitational club - they have no home ground, no league programme, and no permanent squad. Instead, players are invited to represent the Baa-Baas for specific fixtures, typically high-profile matches against international touring sides or national teams. The honour of being invited to play for the Barbarians is considered significant in the rugby world - it recognises ability, but also a commitment to playing the game with freedom and attacking intent.
For the full story of the club's history and how selection works, see our guide to the Barbarians rugby team.
The club has traditionally played in black and white hoops with the personal socks of each player, which gives the Barbarians their immediately recognisable appearance on the pitch. Macron became the official kit partner in January 2024, bringing the current range of replica shirts, training wear, polos and casualwear to the club for the first time under a major kit manufacturer.
The Barbarians rugby club have a genuine international following, with supporters across Europe and beyond. We ship internationally via FedEx on a duties-paid basis, making Rugbystuff.com a practical option for French and other international supporters looking for official Barbarians kit.
Macron Barbarians Shirt Range
The Macron Barbarians range covers the full supporter and training set. The match replica shirt carries the classic black and white hoops in Macron's performance fabric construction. Training tops, polo shirts and t-shirts round out the range for supporters who want to wear Barbarians branding beyond the match shirt itself.
The Barbarians shirt is one of the more interesting purchases in international rugby kit - it's not tied to a nation or a tournament cycle, it doesn't date as quickly as a seasonal club shirt, and the black and white hoops design has remained essentially unchanged for over a century. It's a shirt that makes sense for any serious rugby supporter regardless of which national or club team they follow.
Classic and Vintage Barbarians Shirts
Macron produce the Barbarians replica shirt in both short sleeve and long sleeve versions, with a poly-cotton fabric blend that gives the shirt a more traditional feel than a standard synthetic performance jersey. For supporters who want the classic Barbarians look without a purely technical fabric, the long sleeve in particular sits closer to the cotton match shirts of earlier eras. The hoops haven't changed - only the manufacturer has.
