Rugby's most recent F/W 2010 arrivals are part of a group of clothes dubbed "The Wall" based on The Eton wall game. The event is still held to this very day at Eton College, a British independent school for boys aged 13 to 18. The game itself is similar to the popular games of soccer and rugby, but what sets it apart is the fact that it's played on a narrow strip of ground in front of a brick wall, first erected in 1717. The rules for the game are kinda bizarre, but it's tough to deny the sheer badassness of playing a contact sport virtually on brick. Anyhow, the colors and themes that dominate the first batch of Rugby's F/W 2010 collection are based on Eton's colors and the English prep school stylings surrounding the event.

Could this be any gayer?
ReplyDeleteNo, probably not
We used to play a variation on this in my school against the "old orchard wall" until a hurricane blew the thing down in 1987. I was in the junior school at the time and remember the upper school boys destroying themselves playing in the area between the 'deadball line' behind the goal posts of the rugby pitch and the orchard wall. A cousin of mine once ended up in hospital with a twisted knee, dislocated shoulder and 40 stitches to the back of his head...savage stuff, but lots of fun! I regret that by time I was old enough to play that they had forbidden it for obvious reasons...
ReplyDeleteAnon @9:54- I was going to throw in a comment about this being pretty "bro", but figured someone would just do it for me in the comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question - Yes, they could be naked.
