With England Women winning the IRB Rugby World Cup what better time to buy yourself a rugby shirt.

British Brand HOOPS NOT STRIPES have given the rugby shirt a contemporary makeover of this classic and traditional style. This very wearable collection offers great colours and semi-fitted cuts which will appeal to both men and women.

The first thing I noticed was the softness of the 100% cotton jersey this was made for leisure wear,  no longer do you want to wear the synthetic, figure hugging playing rugby shirts on a daily basis.

Keith Miskelly, co-founder of Hoops Not Stripes says, “Our brand was born out of an unsuccessful attempt to purchase a classic style cotton rugby shirt that looked good, was comfortable, fit well and most importantly, sold at a sensible price.”

With the UK set to host the 2015 Mens Rugby World Cup, HOOPS NOT STRIPES rugby shirts are also set to make an appearance on the backs of rugby fanatics from around the globe.
