RUCK SOPA and that other one, PIPA!

“Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.” (Hey, if Google is willing to state this publicly, they must know what they’re talking about.) Take action here.

Online piracy is harmful and it needs to be addressed, but not at the expense of censoring creativity, stifling innovation or preventing the creation of new, lawful digital distribution methods.

Ruck SOPA and take action!

If Rugby were an Ocean.

These stunning pictures are captured and designed by Alessandro Puccinelli - scrolling through them, we couldn’t help but imagine what a large scale print of each would look like in a gallery. And secondly, our imagination ran wild and we thought: this is what rugby would look like if it were an ocean captured by the lens of an artist. Beautiful work Alessandro. See more of his work here.

WOW! New Zealand was amazing. Wait, it’s X-MAS soon?

World Rugby Shop holiday catelog

World Rugby Shop’s holiday catalog displays our SIN BIN tee prominently up top. As expected, this is one of our hottest tees selling at the moment. It was no surprise that it was also a popular item at the NY Sevens Rugby Tournament over Thanksgiving weekend. The merchandise tent wasn’t much to look at, but it was filled with goodies and thankfully the weather could not have been better here in New York. Most importantly, the tournament shirt we designed for the New York Rugby Club was a hot sellout and it’s too bad we don’t have anymore leftover. But then again, that’s what makes these shirts vintage collectors.

80:00 of sheer tension – UPDATED

It’s come and gone in a flash. People are still waking up with sore heads today maybe in a daze over their county’s mere one point victory over the valiant and incredible French who did not have the luck, superstition and magic to put another All Black misery to bed.

Wellington was a hot bed of glory and fury over joy, redemption and deserved satisfaction that so many kiwis have been waiting for. Some, in fact, young enough to have never known an All Black World Cup triumph – and history was kind to them. The magic was with the All Blacks at the final whistle and the energy that poured into the streets of Courtenay Place was over whelming. No doubt the bars were drunk dry by 6AM and our experience here has left us with life-changing memories. Congratulations to both France and New Zealand. Now it’s time to start saving for England 2015. The pound isn’t kind to the dollar!
