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.
