Cardiff Lions RFC shorts.

Shorts made from black synthetic woven fabric with detailing in gold. 'SRG ELITE' manufacturer's logo on proper right front, Cardiff Lion's lion logo (in red, white and gold) on proper left front. 'INCLUSIVE RUGBY SINCE 2004' printed in gold across back of shorts. Large red lion logo on proper right back of shorts. Rectangular panel of red jersey mesh fabric across upper back of shorts. Elasticated stretch panel at crotch. Insert of different type of black fabric panels at rear sides. Insert of jersey knit panels on lower front (both sides).

Two vertical slits for insertion of rope ties at inner front waist; black synthetic braid ties with clear plastic aglets; 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. White care label and black woven size label at inner CB waist. White 1.8cm wide herringbone twill tape stitched along inner leg opening (though not across the elasticated fabric at the crotch).
