Given that we're an AFL board doing Rugby kits, AND we're doing both codes, could we do something like

The Hunt-Folau Cup

I think the 'Rugby Union League' would be an even more appropriate and funny name now.

If people wanna go with the union, league, nines, sevens idea, I can put some info and pics together as examples.

Yeah, I'd like to know how sevens are differentiated. I think union, league and 9s is pretty clear but I'm not sure on 7s

Well, here we go.
There are traditional design types which permeate both codes.

Rugby Union:
-plain
-hooped
-single band across the middle (very popular with South African provincial teams)
-butcher hoops
-unique custom hoops (similar to the Gordon Highlanders or Southern Districts in the Sydney Shute Shield competition)
-harlequin quarters
Rugby union rarely, if ever, uses soccer designs like sashes or stripes; and they never use vertical halves (like Blackburn Rovers) and certainly never ever use chevrons, that's an RL custom. (Bath Rugby club tried a chevron design once and their fans sarcastically asked them if they were switching codes over to Super League)
Traditionally, the shorts and jersey are different colours, with the exception of the All Blacks and England; though this is changing recently.
National teams generally wear plain jerseys, Argentina and Japan being the more well-known hooped exceptions.
Lots of old national and provincial unions favour a floral emblem. This was done to differentiate the sports in the early years. For example, England is "Three Lions" in soccer and a "Red Rose" in rugby union. Scotland is a "Rampaging Lion" in soccer and a "Scotch Thistle" in rugby union. New Zealand is a "Kiwi" in rugby league and the All Blacks wear a "Silver Fern" in rugby union. Wales is a "Red Dragon" in both soccer and rugby league but uses the "Royal Feathers of the Prince of Wales" in rugby union. The Wallabies and Springboks are the famous exceptions.
Rugby Union Sevens: usually these jerseys are a derivative of the main jersey with extra features and patterns. Usually collarless, nowadays the full kits are generally monochrome, one basic colour for jersey, shorts and socks, all white, all gold, all blue, etc. They actually resemble fitted soccer kits from far away, and have a similar aesthetic to soccer kits overall.
Sashes and Blackburn-halves, can be used in union sevens along with graphics, but again, never chevrons.
A union sevens jersey could be a competition option, perhaps?

Top Row: Southern District's and Gordon's custom hoops; South African single band provincial designs; harlequin-quarters.
2nd Row: South Africa and England's modern test jerseys, compared to their sevens jerseys
3rd Row: Fiji and Japan's traditional test jersey designs compared to sevens designs they have worn.
Bottom row: Argentina's traditional test jersey design compared to their blue sevens kits; Argentina vs Japan in both of their sevens change-kits.
Note: Japan traditionally wear a navy blue jersey as a change-kit in test match rugby.

Rugby League:
-chevrons
-chevrons and yolks
-chevrons over hoops
-chevrons on a horizontal panel
-hooped
-butcher hoops
-horizontal panels (usually in two bold colours, think of the old Parramatta, Penrith or Broncos jerseys)
-band across the middle (Cronulla, Parramatta, Hull Kingston Rovers and Wakefield Trinity are probably the most famous for this design in rugby league)
-bold graphics (stuff such as crosses or flags)
-plain
Chevron designs are the signature of rugby league.
Stripes are only used occasionally as it's seen as a traditional soccer design. (Warrington, Penrith, Newcastle and the Western Reds have worn striped jerseys)
Other soccer designs like sashes and Blackburn-halves are almost never seen.
Harlequin quarters are generally seen as middle-class privileged rugby union school designs and are almost never used. (Castleford wore one in 2006)
Plain jerseys are generally rare, although three of RL's most famous jerseys are plain, that of the Queensland and New South Wales state-of-origin teams and the England national team. (Illawarra and Newtown wore plain jerseys)
NRL Nines: Usually an odd-ball design or training shirt design in team colours. If the team colours are not used, then there is usually something linking it to the club, like the predominantly blue and white Manly Beach jersey used by the Sea-Eagles; or the black, white and silver dragon jersey used by St George-Illawarra. The sleeveless designs, are a little different to AFL guernseys as the club badge stays over the heart and the sponsor's logo is still in the middle.
UGLY RL jerseys in the late 90's-early 2000's: There were some heinous over-the-top designs in this era, usually based on the chevron-vee idea, but with swirls, shapes, gradients, patterns, hoops all over the place. One only has to look at Super League in Australia and Britain during this period to see what I mean.
The "Ugly 90's Jersey" could also be a competition option, perhaps?

Top Right Corner: Gazf.info's excellent PM's XIII design, showing chevrons on hoops. He has a collection of nines jerseys which are also pretty awesome, some of which would be perfectly fine as union sevens jerseys too.
Top Row: Large two-colour horizontal panelled jerseys
2nd Row: Chevrons and hoops combined
3rd Row: The "ugly" designs from the late 90's to early 2000's.
Bottom Row: Bold graphic designs using flags and crosses relevant to the teams involved. England, Scotland and Malta.

Advertisements, logos, badges on jerseys (both codes):
Both utilise the soccer-style, main-sponsor-in-the-middle position. The amount of sponsors depends on the competition and the country. French rugby union and English rugby league has sponsors all over the place. Provincial rugby union in the Southern Hemisphere (Super Rugby) has slightly less sponsors.
Most competitions in both codes, tend to have the competition logo on the sleeve. The NRL however, has it on the right chest.

Too many there. Cut out the Training, ANZAC and maybe Women's Round and you'd be close

Brilliant, thanks mate

This probably needs to be quoted in the team announcements thread.
 
Oi Chibi this is what we've been waiting for with Klim since the Sidhe days hey? If there's a custom ball round you'll have it locked up for sure

Don't you worry about that 'cause the Reivers are coming.

Location: Scotland/England Border Counties
Team Name: Border Reivers
Colours: Maroon, Gold and White.

Current Logo (to be tidied up at a later date):
