Scrum down chaps.



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!

Good grief...

Cathy said...

Oh my - I can hear the word (pansies) being mouthed by some of their opponents.
Which will probably fire them up to prove otherwise !!

Cro Magnon said...

That's what I thought. They are currently touring Paris.

Cro Magnon said...

I haven't heard whose idea this was, but I hope they're in hiding.

local alien said...

OMG why didn't they riot??
A rugby team? No way

Cro Magnon said...

I would have refused!

Sue in Suffolk said...

Think the designer need a lesson on "suitable jackets for rugby players".
They are just so bad

New World said...

I see the Art Group are on a visit to New York. I wonder if they got the jackets muddled up!

Frances said...

They are quite pretty/unusual jackets, but for a rugby team? I don't think so!!

Cro Magnon said...

Awful; I wonder if they made them themselves?

Cro Magnon said...

Are yet another group visiting a Dog Food factory?

Cro Magnon said...

No; leather with studs would have been more appropriate.

Poppy Q said...

They all look embarassed. Who decides that this is a good idea? Poor boys.

Cro Magnon said...

Goodness knows. I think I know what'll happen to the jackets when their tour is over!

Sue said...

It's not a good look for a rugby team.

Cro Magnon said...

Not a good look.... Full stop!

Not a jacket that says Rugby, but I bet they are having fun wearing them. They are getting noticed.

I can tell that you're secretly jealous.

Well, 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.

One 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.'

Cheers,

They're probably getting up to all sorts of mischief as soon as they take them off.

Cro Magnon said...

I've turned Moss Green!

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Jean said...

It looks like the sports teacher is married to the needlework teacher who needed somewhere to practise the GCSE coursework.

The Weaver of Grass said...

I love Grayson Perry's work Cro, but am not sure this is in the same league.

No Roots said...

Bet they cost a fortune too. Some of it looks like a Liberty fabric.
They may look like prats now but if it is Liberty they will be quids in later!

Tom Stephenson said...

Get over it.

Very colourful chappies but why?

Michelle Frantom said...

They look fantastic. Takes balls to wear something that controversial. And they are obviously getting attention, which is kinda the point is it not?

Michelle Frantom said...

I agree Tom.

Cro Magnon said...

One can but ask!

Cro Magnon said...

They could have worn high heels and fishnet stockings; that would have got them even more noticed.

Cro Magnon said...

There was a lot of work involved. Someone was working hard.

Cro Magnon said...

So do I; but the idea of dressing to be noticed is much the same.

Cro Magnon said...

Collectors items?

Cro Magnon said...

Get over what?

Michelle Frantom said...

Great idea!
