warm-up vest
Explanation:
Strangely, the hyphen makes a difference.

Run a Google Image search for "warmup vest" and you get things with sleeves.

Run "warm-up vest" and you get the sleeveless variety.

Of course the gentlemen among rugby players and cricketers wear "warm-up waistcoats" ;-) (W.G. Grace and his ilk certainly did).

@ Lefthome: the coloured things used to differentiate members of the same team training against each other is a "training bib". Lots of ghits. When playing on the right, away, you could wear a green one; when playing on the left, home, you could wear a red one.

neutral  xxxBourth: Not to put a fine point on it, but your "top" has hair, errr, sleeves, the bald man's doesn't, I think.//Suspect the differentiation one would be "chasuble d'entrainement" or something, and a "bib" probably.

  -> not 100% clear-but could be sleeveless. if it's not that could it be one of those training shirts they slip on to form teams within a team when they warm-up/train before a match? /yes, a bib. it's been a long time since I was a rugby mum.

agree  writeaway: why would you ever look for warmup as a single word? Are you a native Dutch/German speaker? kind of me to have found a picture, no?/yes, it's a bib-to catch all the blood spurting out of their mouths ;-). are you an All Blacks backer?
