Fresh Gear for Saluki Rugby Fans (Yes… Even a Belichick Hoodie)

The SI RFC Alumni & SIU Rugby store is officially open, and whether you’re watching from the sideline, the alumni tent, or yelling at the referee from a safe and respectful distance, we’ve got gear for you.

Before launching the store, the SI RFC Alumni Board went through a competitive bid process to select an apparel partner. After reviewing multiple options, we aligned with Steamroller Rugby thanks to their experience in rugby apparel, quality gear, and their willingness to support our alumni organization and the future of SIU Rugby.

The result is a store built specifically for SIU Rugby players, alumni, and supporters.

Something for Everyone

We made sure the store includes options for both men and women, because rugby supporters come in all forms — from the former tighthead prop who still tells stories about the “good old days,” to the alumni who now watch matches with a coffee instead of a "recovery beverage."

The store will continue to evolve seasonally, so keep an eye out for new gear throughout the year.

Pitch Side Essentials

Heading to a match? We’ve even got you covered with a Carhartt cooler, perfect for keeping your pitch-side sodas (or whatever hydration choice you prefer) cold while you watch the next generation of Salukis take the field.

Because let’s be honest — rugby spectatorship improves dramatically when your beverage stays cold and within arm’s reach.

Channel Your Inner Bill Belichick

And yes… we also have a short sleeve hoodie.

If you’ve ever wanted to stand on the sideline looking serious, slightly mysterious, and mildly annoyed while evaluating play — this might be the piece for you.

All you need now is a clipboard and the ability to mutter something about “doing your job.”

Ladies, We Didn’t Forget You

Our women’s racerback tanks are built for comfort whether you’re at the gym, running errands, or spending a sunny afternoon watching rugby.

They’re fitted, lightweight, and perfect for showing off your Saluki Rugby pride.

Are we saying they’re runway ready? No.

But if Kim Kardashian suddenly showed up at a rugby match, we’re pretty confident she’d approve of the racerback look.

Every Purchase Supports the Program

The best part? Every purchase made through the store gives a percentage back to the SI RFC Alumni organization.

Those funds can be used to:

• Support the current SIU Rugby club

• Help fund alumni initiatives

• Strengthen long-term program development

  
  

So whether you’re buying a hoodie, a tank, or the most responsible rugby spectator cooler on the planet, you’re helping keep Saluki Rugby moving forward.
