Everyone loves a vintage or retro rugby jersey, right? Rugby ‘kit hound’ Nick Christie from Backrow Rugby joined Brett McKay on 8/9 Rugby to talk classic kits, ‘holy grail’ jerseys, why vintage rugby jerseys are very definitely cool again, and why this month’s Nations Championship would be so much better in old-school heavy cotton jerseys!
Nick has had a great time with Backrow Rugby over the last two years, including ultra-successful pop-up stores and markets in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney – his Bledisloe pop-up in Sydney this year had people queued around the corner before he opened!
And now, Backrow Rugby and 8/9 Rugby have teamed up for an EXCLUSIVE DEAL you don’t want to miss!
Head to backrowvintage.com and use the code 89Rugby to get 10% off an outstanding vintage rugby jersey!
It’s only available through the Nations Championship in November, but you definitely don’t want to wait too long. Don’t miss the jersey you’ve got your eye on, get your hands on it now!
