Black rugby shorts printed with red 'Under Armour' logo on right front leg and Cardiff Lions RFC logo on left front leg. White COSTA logo on back of left leg, iNFUSION Design Limited logo on back of right leg. Elasticated stretch panel at crotch. Fabric on inside is white/unprinted. Shorts also have a print of a red line that runs from side waist down and then then curves towards the crotch: both front and back on both sides. Elasticated waistband. Two vertical slits for insertion of rope ties at inner front waist (though no rope tie present); edges of slits are finished with buttonhole stitches. Black elastic tape stitched to inner waist: this tape has a rubberised surface coating (in the shape of 2 wavy lines) which provide a more secure fit and stop the shorts from slipping.
