For more than 22 years, St Andrew’s College has trusted Kooga to supply custom rugby jerseys and teamwear for its school rugby programme.
What began as a search for reliable rugby apparel has grown into a long-term partnership based on quality, service and trust.
From the 1st XV to junior grades, Kooga has supported St Andrew’s College with rugby garments made for the demands of school sport.
Meeting The Demands Of School Rugby
School rugby is demanding.
Players train throughout the week, compete in challenging conditions and need rugby uniforms that can perform season after season.
When St Andrew’s College was looking for a rugby uniform supplier, they needed more than just a jersey.
They needed:
- High-quality rugby garments
- Durable apparel capable of handling weekly training and games
- Reliable delivery
- A supplier who understood the needs of teenage athletes
- A long-term partner who could support their rugby programme
Kooga was able to provide that solution.
Supporting the Complete Rugby Programme
Over the past years, Kooga has worked with St Andrew’s College across its wider rugby programme.
- This has included:
- Custom rugby jerseys
- 1st XV rugby kit
- Rugby teamwear across multiple grades
- Training tees
- Training jackets
- Warm-up apparel
- Girls rugby apparel
- Off-field teamwear
Creating a consistent apparel programme has helped players across different teams represent the school with pride.

Custom Rugby Jerseys Built to Last
One of the main challenges for school rugby programmes is finding jerseys that can handle regular use.
Players train and compete every week. Their jerseys need to handle contact, movement, washing and changing conditions while still looking professional.
For schools comparing custom rugby jerseys in NZ, durability should be a key part of the decision.
For St Andrew’s College, the lasting quality of its rugby kit has been one of the main reasons the relationship with Kooga has continued for more than two decades.
“Very high quality jerseys that have stood the test of weekly games and training. Never had one rip in 22 years.”
That level of durability is what every school rugby programme needs from their teamwear supplier.
More Than a Rugby Kit Supplier
Product quality has played an important role in the partnership. But St Andrew’s College values the service and support from the Kooga team just as much.
Mike explains:
“Their service and attention to detail has also been a major factor in our relationship. Nothing is a problem.”
Kooga offers more support than a standard rugby uniform shop. The team takes time to understand each school, its players and the needs of its rugby programme.
This means offering reliable support each season while keeping the quality and design of every rugby team uniform consistent.
