It's gone, it's finally gone. The RFU has launched the new England rugby kit today and that unmitigated design disaster - the horrendous red swoosh of ketchup - has been consigned to history.The new kit, almost virginally white, is a vast improvement on the previous abomination.
Minor quibbles:
- Whatever happened to proper collars?
- On the neck of the shirt is the motto 'RUGBEIA FLOREAT UBIQUE' which is, apparently, Latin for 'RUGBY FLOURISHES EVERYWHERE.' Pretentious twaddle and SO middle class.
- A retail price of a smidgen under £90. Ouch.

Flanker, it seems like the collar on a rugby jersey is as endangered as the post card, VHS casettes, and good manners.
The new rugby jerseys are BLOODY expensive-and not designed for a prop shaped body. I wait until the end of the season and get last years model for 25-30 bucks.
The New jersey does have a clean and classic look, like the England shirts for it's football team.
You can have a proper collar if you by the supporter's jersey (with no red at all)

And there I was thinking that rugby was invented some eighteen hundred years after the Romans...
