The New British Army Rugby Shirt 2011

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.

How and Where to Buy Rugby Kit


Fashion is ever changing, but will always be part of life all over the world. Like fashion, sport is also an important part of life in all societies. Sport also changes, as it helps to shape fashion, too. They work independently, yet also hand in hand. Look at tennis players, football stars and those who play basketball in the NBA. They all influence the world of fashion, due to their huge following of fans who wish to copy them. In another, less glamourous way, there are also a lot of people who choose to wear sporting clothing as fashionable attire. Football shirts are normally seen as lower class or extremely informal, mainly due to the fabric they are made from and the lack of a collar. However, in contrast, rugby shirts are seen as far more respectable. This could possibly be due to the kind of people who play and follow the sport, or the clothing itself, as it is usually thicker, more formal and less garish. There are plenty of retailers where one can easily buy rugby kit or rugby shirts. Traditionally, visiting a local sports shop on the local High Street would suffice, but nowadays people are choosing to support teams from far and wide, so not all retailers are able to stock all shirts in all sizes. Indeed, a shop in Wales might be reluctant to have an England rugby shirt in stock, whereas an English retailer probably wouldn’t think twice about stocking and selling a Welsh rugby shirt, due to the make-up of the local population. Likewise, some stores are less particular than others with regards to the form of the sport itself, bearing in mind that there are both rugby league, and rugby union. One of the most popular and well-made brands is Kooga. Kooga rugby shirts have earned an excellent reputation for value for money, as well. Buying a rugby league shirt should be no more difficult than buy one for union, but the easiest way to purchase any piece of rugby kit is to go online. Some people are still cautious of either parting with money before seeing their goods, or trusting the description of products coming from overseas. However, most online stores, and certainly all of the reputable ones, will have honest staff, speedy and efficient delivery service and quibble-free returns policies. They are able to offer better prices, due to their lack of overheads, and also save the buyer the cost and inconvenience of having to travel to, and possibly park in, town.

In summary, whether in the market for Wales rugby shirt or any other item of clothing for this wonderful sport, go online and search for a reputable dealer who can offer the best brands, a wide selection of teams and sizes, and honest and convenient services and guarantees.

Buying Good-Quality Cheap Rugby Shirts


It is impossible not to accept that football (soccer) is the most popular spectator sport in the world. Even a lot of North Americans have acknowledged it, and some have even started to play. Sadly for some, a far more physical sport, one that could even be compared to American football, will never be as popular. Rugby originated in England a little less than two hundred years ago and has a very loyal following in several countries, many of which are in the southern hemisphere. In fact, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa have dominated the sport in recent decades. Nevertheless, its following in the UK remains strong and many fans still enjoy wearing their favourite team’s shirt with pride. Therefore there is still a good market for cheap rugby shirts and cheap rugby tops. The most popular, and therefore easiest to find in stores, are England rugby shirts and Wales rugby shirts, but those of the other home nations are not hard to locate.


When choosing a rugby shirt to buy, there is one factor that is almost impossible to change; which team it represents. One would be hard pressed to find an Irishman wearing a Scotland rugby shirt, or vice versa. And those hoping to sell Canterbury rugby shirts, for example, are not going to do so to fans of other clubs. Like in football, the fans of one club would rather be topless or wear ladies’ clothes than something bearing the colours of another team. Likewise, anyone in need of an Irish rugby shirt is never going to be satisfied with, say, a Welsh rugby shirt.

However, there are some variables, the main one being the cost. The word ‘cheap’ may sound good to some people, but the word ‘inexpensive’ is much better. This is because cheap also means ‘low grade’ or ‘low quality.’ Cheap rugby shirts can be good, in fact, they can be great, but one needs to buy from a reputable source. For customers looking to buy good-quality inexpensive rugby shirts UK based shops and internet stores are not hard to find. One of the best value places that has become very popular also sells rugby boots and rugby balls, although the shirts are probably the mainstay of their business.

To sum up, whether you’re in the market for an England rugby shirt, or that of another country or club, have a look around and choose something that is good value, and from a respectable supplier.

The World’s Most Popular Rugby Shirts

Rugby, rugby football, or, as in some states of countries like Australia, just football, is a rough-and-tumble team sport using an egg-shaped ball. Often referred to as a thugs’ game played by gentlemen, it has always played second fiddle globally to football (soccer) which is fast becoming a gentlemen’s game played by thugs. However, there are still millions of people who prefer rugby as a sport to play and/or watch. Many of these people proudly wear their team’s rugby shirts on and off the field. The origins of the sport itself are rarely debated, but with the success of football, Wales has almost become the northern hemisphere’s capital for true rugby fans.

In the world of football, Wales has a weak national team and its best two club teams have joined the English leagues, leaving the Welsh league to just about die a slow and lonely death. In rugby, however, there is a very strong following and great national pride whenever the Wales national team play a match. Although it is generally considered that a young boy playing football at an English school in 1823 initiated the birth of rugby, it is also fair to say that Wales has helped to keep the sport alive and popular in the United Kingdom. Because of this, it is probably more common to see a Wales rugby shirt worn about town than an England rugby shirt. If one compares total numbers, it is likely to swing in the favour of the English, but in terms of relative populations, the wearing of a Welsh rugby shirt is more popular, probably for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they are a very patriotic race and like to prove that they are not ‘merely British’ and certainly not English, in a similar way that Canadians are not American, nor are New Zealanders Australian. Secondly, rugby is more popular than football in Wales, particularly rugby union. Rugby league is a similar game, but not followed in quite the same way. Both in the United Kingdom and Australia, there are rugby league series. One is probably less likely to see fans wearing super-league rugby shirts in public and at social events, but the reasons for this are unclear.

 Although most of the world’s population are far more aware of football, rugby is still a well-established and thoroughly entertaining team sport. There is much more respect in rugby, both on the pitch and among the fans. Patriotism and football’s lack of popularity are easy to see with so many Welsh people wearing rugby shirts. There is a good market for them and they are nearly always worn with pride.
