Red Roses Shirt Shortage Causes Frustration Among Fans
The Red Roses’ fans are facing an unexpected problem: the lack of official team jerseys just days before the start of the Women’s Rugby World Cup. The situation, which has caused discomfort among supporters, is due to production problems on the part of Castore, the sports equipment manufacturer.
The shortage has caused frustration among fans, who were hoping to buy their favorite team’s jersey to wear during the tournament. High demand, coupled with production problems, has quickly depleted the stock in online stores.
Faced with this situation, some t-shirts are being sold at inflated prices on platforms like eBay.
“We can confirm that the official England Rugby World Cup jerseys have limited availability, as fans continue to show their incredible support for the Red Roses.”

The manufacturer has reported that the t-shirts will be available in the stadiums where the England matches are played.2:33 ¿Pueden las Red Roses inspirarse en la victoria de las Lionesses en la Eurocopa 2025?

Fans will be able to purchase the shirts at locations such as the Stadium of Light, although it is understood that the supply is limited.
Castore took over as the England team’s kit manufacturer in April, replacing Umbro. Although the regular Red Roses jersey, with O2 sponsorship, can still be purchased online, the special edition for the Rugby World Cup is the one that has sold out.
The tournament regulations state that teams cannot have their own sponsorship on the front of their kit, so the jersey that the team will wear in the coming weeks will not have a sponsor, but it will have the World Cup emblem on the front.
