The Rughby shirt has, in many cultures around the world, become a popular fashion item. If you are a rugby league or rugby union fanatic, wearing a Rugby shirt to show support and loyalty to your team is crucial. Rugby shirts, worn by players of rugby union or rugby league, have short or long sleeves, a buttoned opening at the top with a small, stiff collar and rubber buttons. They usually carry a logo on the chest and a number on the back. The traditional design of the Rugby shirt consists of five or six horizontal stripes or “hoops” in alternating colours.

Rugby league shirts often have a large ‘V’ around the neck; however more and more teams are embracing the rounded collarless design. Rugby league shirts also tend to be more colourful and extravagant in design relative to rugby union shirts. The extravagant colours and design of rugby league shirts is most probably a product of modern day professional football, which has been a part of rugby league’s culture for far longer than rugby union’s. Rugby league shirts or jerseys as they are often called may hold less tradition than rugby union shirts. This holds more truth among the fully professional rugby league clubs in the National Rugby League who often change the shirt design every year or two to encourage fans to purchase the latest shirt design. However, some rugby league clubs are now going back to the clubs’ roots in terms of design while other clubs have not strayed from their traditional jersey design.

My daughter does a lot of different sports. When her birthday came, I was looking for t-shirts for her. We have a local store called Soccer World that I went to check out for soccer tshirts. I was only able to find one that I liked in the store in her size. I checked a few other places with no luck at all. Many didn’t have them available at all. If they did, they seemed to carry adult sizes only which didn’t work for me. I was in need of a shirt for a girl size 8.

This was when I decided to try searching online for soccer tshirts. I was amazed at the amount of shirts I found available in youth sizes. I found one site called cafepress.com. On this site, people design their own shirts. They had a lot of soccer ones available. I liked that I also had the option to design my own shirt for her. I was able to find one that I liked and add her name to it. This made for a great and personalized gift. When she opened this soccer tshirt I would have to say it was her favorite. She wears it all the time. As soon as she outgrows it, I will probably have to order a new one.

Argentina 1978 World Cup Shirt

The Argentina 1978 World Cup strip is a retro Argentina football kit from one of the most memorable tournaments of all. Argentina were on home soil and so were well fancied, however, they were up against the “total football” of the Dutch, who were extremely unlucky in the 1974 World Cup and were expected to win it this time round.

However, Argentina had their stars too, including Ossie Ardiles, just before his groundbreaking transfer to Tottenham Hotspur later that summer. They also had Mario Kempes, who was the leading goal scorer in the 1978 tournament, scoring a total of six goals, including two in the final itself. Argentina managed to beat Holland 3-1 after extra time to win the World Cup and ensure that the 1978 World Cup shirt would become one of the most iconic Argentina football shirts of all time.

Argentina 1986 World Cup Shirt

The Argentina 1986 World Cup strip is another retro football kit featuring the famous blue and white stripes. It is nearly always associated with one man, a football genius who practically single-handedly won Argentina their second World Cup. That man of course was Diego Maradona and it is partly because of those performances wearing that particular retro Argentina football kit that he is considered by many to be the greatest footballer that ever lived.
