The Rugby Legacy
Often referred to as The Beautiful Game, rugby blends tradition, physicality, and inclusivity to create an extraordinary bond between players and fanatics. At the centre of rugby traditions is the rugby jersey - originally made from heavy weight cotton to withstand the wear and tear of scrums and tackles. Originating at Rugby School in Warwickshire, England in 1823 the game began as a sport played between boys independent schools in the UK. The rugby jerseys were designed to be strong and bold in contrasting colours that would easily allow the referee to distinguish between the two teams in scrums and tackles.
Made for Today
Today rugby is an inclusive sport played by everyone, and the rugby jersey is an element of mainstream fashion worn not just by weekend rugby Dads, but by celebrities (think Taylor Swift, Mick Jagger & Justin Bieber) and street style enthusiasts from New York, to Los Angeles to Copenhagen.
