The 23 pink jerseys worn by Rugby Club Vannes in their victory over Clermont are being auctioned to support the association La Vannetaise.
Rugby Club Vannes has chosen to turn a sporting symbol into an act of solidarity. The 23 pink jerseys worn by the team in their victory over Clermont, by a score of 27-26 on Saturday, October 24, 2026, are now offered for sale at auction. All funds raised are to go to the association La Vannetaise.
Each shirt has been signed by the players, a feature that adds to the appeal of these pieces for supporters and collectors alike. The initiative is part of a drive to rally around the club and its local values, just weeks before sporting fixtures that bring the Vannes public together.
According to information reported by Ouest-France, bidding has quickly gained momentum. Some bids have already exceeded the 300-euro mark, a sign of the enthusiasm these jerseys have generated. The final auction total will depend on the length of the sale and on the mobilisation of rugby fans as well as donors.
La Vannetaise, the beneficiary of the operation, will thus receive concrete support. The funds raised will allow the association to continue its activities, at a time when financing community organisations remains a significant challenge.
This move illustrates the capacity of sports clubs to mobilise their wider community in the service of a local cause. Beyond the sporting result, Rugby Club Vannes's victory is thus extended into a civic action whose impact remains to be measured in the coming days.
