2026 Crusaders Heritage Training Jersey
NZD $130
Classic Rugby has teamed up with Classic Sportswear to bring you the 2026 Super Rugby Heritage range — celebrating 30 years of Super Rugby in true traditional style. This special training heritage release is a nod to the very first Super Rugby jerseys introduced in 1996, originally worn as pre-season and training pieces in the competition’s inaugural year. A clean, authentic throwback to where it all began.
Crafted in 100% premium cotton, this jersey delivers proper old-school structure and weight — giving off real Temex-era vibes from the mid-90s. No over-engineered modern fabric, no shortcuts. Just heritage done properly.
With classic collar construction, bold chest branding and period-correct striping, this piece captures the feel of the early Super Rugby era while remaining wearable today. A genuine tribute to the competition’s origins — and a must-have for collectors who remember the beginning.

Sizing and Measurements
When purchasing a vintage rugby jersey, understanding the sizing becomes crucial. These jerseys, often over 20 years old and produced by various manufacturers, may have tag sizes significantly different from today’s modern sizing.
Here are four key pieces of information provided in each jersey description:
- Pit-to-Pit Measurement: This measurement represents the width across the chest, from one armpit seam to the other. (This does not include the gusset).
This is important for assessing how the jersey will fit around your chest and shoulders.
- Top-to-Bottom Length: Measure from the top of the jersey down to the bottom edge (hem) of the jersey. This measurement gives you the overall length of the jersey.
- Tagged Size: The size indicated on the jersey’s tag. Keep in mind that vintage sizing may not align with current standards.
- “Fits Like” Size: Our estimation of how the jersey fits based on modern sizing. However, it’s advisable to measure a shirt you currently own to check if the vintage jersey will fit comfortably.
Remember, while the “fits as” sizing serves as a guide, doing your own measurements is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
