Game Uniform
The Fort Hunt Eagles game uniform consists of
- Black rugby shorts, without markings or decoration (not nylon basketball shorts or summer-style casual shorts). We have custom-embroidered team shorts for purchase, with sales benefitting the club.
- Black, over-the-calf socks.
- Team jersey; each registered player is given his/her own individual game jersey, and it is the player’s responsibility to wear it to the match.
- Studded sports shoes; molded-sole soccer shoes are fine, regardless of the sport. Football boots that have a screw-in toe stud must have the toe stud removed. See our equipment section for more info.
All tackle players MUST wear a personally fitted mouthpiece. This is non-negotiable.
The following gear is also permitted, subject to referee inspection and approval: rugby gloves, a brace or elastic wrap, scrum cap, or padded shirt. See the
equipment section for full information.
Prohibited Equipment/Uniform Items (for both practice and matches)
- Eyeglasses: touch players may practice with regular eyeglasses, but must wear sport goggles/sport glasses in matches (or none at all).
- No form of eyeglasses is permitted in tackle rugby. Contact lenses are permitted.
- For those players who wear removable-stud football shoes, the toe stud must be removed from each boot.
- No watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces or earrings (or visible/accessible piercings). Touch players may tape over earrings; tackle players must remove all earrings.
- No shorts with chains, exposed zipper, buckles, rivets, or any sort of exposed or internal hard plastic or metal. No belts with any shorts, regardless of its composition.
- Remove all items from pockets.
- No braces or other gear containing hard plastic or metal, and none with exposed struts or structures; the referee will examine this kind of equipment prior to a match.
- No player may play with a cast of any kind, touch or tackle.
