Rugby football, rugby union, rugby league, or whatever else you want to call it is a rough game, more commonly played and watched by men than women. The Armed forces are groups of highly-trained dedicated men and some women who use patriotism, tactics and physical strength to protect the people of their country and its allies. The armed forces often use neutral and natural colours to camouflage their clothing and equipment. Taking all of the above into account, why on earth is the British army rugby shirt 2011 in pink? Well, why not?
The men who are obviously brave and strong enough to be in the army and also play rugby have already proven both their masculinity and dedication. It would take an even braver one, or an idiot, to accuse these guys of being a ‘bit light on their loafers.’ Rugby shirts serve a purpose, and that is to be easily recognizable to one’s team mates, especially in the areas of peripheral vision. What better colour than bright pink? However, the fact that it is also sometimes referred to as camouflage, due to its fatigue pattern, is a bit of an anomaly. There are several other British rugby kits who are popular in the shops, including the royal navy rugby shirt 2011 and the new Scotland rugby shirt 2011 as well as New Zealand’s Canterbury Crusaders rugby shirt.
Just a little research will also show that there are plenty of female rugby fans, as well as players in the female leagues. Manufacturers and retailers offer replica shirts in all sizes, and many ladies and children are just as keen to show their loyalty by wearing them. The new army rugby shirt 2011 being available in such a surprising choice of colour will certainly have a positive impact on sales in some areas of the demographic, that may well more than counter any negative effects in another. Whatever, it would be fair to say that it is no more garish than the Kitchener-coloured rugby shirt and has a longer-term appeal than the Poppy Appeal. Regardless of the reasons for choosing an army rugby shirt 2011 is sure to be a colourful year.
Different people have different reasons for choosing to buy or wear a sports shirt, either to stand in the terraces, go out shopping or visit a social event. One thing is for sure, the bright pink 2011 British army rugby shirt will always attract some attention. And who knows? There’s always the possibility that this attention will increase awareness of the sport or the team, and this can only be a good thing.
