Above are four of my old school's current touring Rugby team, wearing their 2019 'designer' tour jackets.
Things have changed a lot since my day, and I'm not sure if it's all for the better.
And this is the rest of them..... I despair!
A Thoughtful Way Home

My shoulder was aching at work today and I asked a member of staff if she
could rub it for me.
This she kindly did with some banter talk about her regular ...

Good grief...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. They are currently touring Paris.
DeleteOh my - I can hear the word (pansies) being mouthed by some of their opponents.
ReplyDeleteWhich will probably fire them up to prove otherwise !!
I haven't heard whose idea this was, but I hope they're in hiding.
DeleteOMG why didn't they riot??
ReplyDeleteA rugby team? No way
I would have refused!
DeleteThink the designer need a lesson on "suitable jackets for rugby players".
ReplyDeleteThey are just so bad
Awful; I wonder if they made them themselves?
DeleteI see the Art Group are on a visit to New York. I wonder if they got the jackets muddled up!
ReplyDeleteAre yet another group visiting a Dog Food factory?
DeleteThey are quite pretty/unusual jackets, but for a rugby team? I don't think so!!
ReplyDeleteNo; leather with studs would have been more appropriate.
DeleteThey all look embarassed. Who decides that this is a good idea? Poor boys.
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows. I think I know what'll happen to the jackets when their tour is over!
DeleteIt's not a good look for a rugby team.
ReplyDeleteNot a good look.... Full stop!
DeleteNot a jacket that says Rugby, but I bet they are having fun wearing them. They are getting noticed.
ReplyDeleteThey're probably getting up to all sorts of mischief as soon as they take them off.
DeleteI can tell that you're secretly jealous.
ReplyDeleteI've turned Moss Green!
DeleteWell, we don't do Rugby over here in the US, but we do play 'head games.' Maybe those fine looking young men are at the offense before the game - playing with the minds of their opponents. Maybe they're just having a lark.
ReplyDeleteOne of my former employees was a champion skeet shooter. He would dress in drag for some tournaments. Back then, this was totally unheard of. He did it purely to mess with the head and concentration of his opponents. It worked!
Life is good, the world is round, and young men are still 'full of it.'

We have a Potter in England who does that. He's called Grayson Perry. He's worth looking-up; he's made a fortune through his antics.
DeleteIt looks like the sports teacher is married to the needlework teacher who needed somewhere to practise the GCSE coursework.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of work involved. Someone was working hard.
DeleteI love Grayson Perry's work Cro, but am not sure this is in the same league.
ReplyDeleteSo do I; but the idea of dressing to be noticed is much the same.
DeleteBet they cost a fortune too. Some of it looks like a Liberty fabric.
ReplyDeleteThey may look like prats now but if it is Liberty they will be quids in later!
Collectors items?
DeleteGet over it.
ReplyDeleteI agree Tom.
DeleteGet over what?
DeleteVery colourful chappies but why?
ReplyDeleteOne can but ask!
DeleteThey look fantastic. Takes balls to wear something that controversial. And they are obviously getting attention, which is kinda the point is it not?
ReplyDeleteThey could have worn high heels and fishnet stockings; that would have got them even more noticed.
DeleteGreat idea!
