Eighty minutes of rivalry, then the same love for the game on both sides of the bar.

Among rugby tees, this one tells the truth every fan learns after the final whistle: the jerseys split us, the sport brings us back together. It's a soft, light men's cotton tee printed with three players on the charge, and an easy pick for anyone who has shared a pitch, a stand or a post-match round with the other side.

The design: three players, one sunset, two lines of truth

UNITED BY PASSION bends over the top in bold cream capitals, framing a half-sun built from horizontal stripes of yellow, coral, peach, cream and teal. Tall H-shaped goalposts rise behind the stripes, and three players race across the front of them from left to right, drawn in a vintage engraved style that looks lifted from an old match program.

The man in the middle tucks the ball under his arm and drives forward while the other two chase in support, all in padded scrum caps, shorts and long socks. Their kits differ from one another, and parts of each are left unprinted so the shirt itself fills them in. A short tuft of grass and a thin ground line anchor the scene.

Beneath it, DIVIDED BY sits in two short words and FLAGS lands largest of all. No flag is drawn anywhere, and that's the point: the slogan leaves the colors to whoever wears it. It's the handshake line after a hard test match, opposing fans sharing a table, the old truth that a scoreboard separates people for one afternoon while the game keeps them together for life.

Soft, light cotton for match days and the stands

• 100% cotton in every shade, spun from fine yarn for a smooth, soft feel against the skin
• Light 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²) fabric, easy on a warm afternoon and thin enough to layer under a club jacket
• Tear-Away Label: For scratch-free wear, pull it off and there's no tag at the back of your neck
• A soft strip covers the shoulder seam inside, so it lies smooth across your shoulders
• The cloth is shrunk before the shirt is made, which limits shrinking in your own laundry
• A round crew neck and a straight men's cut that work with jeans or track pants

Who it's for

Club players, old boys and veterans, referees, coaches, touch regulars and the fans who travel to watch their nation play. It's right at home in the clubhouse, at a watch party for a big international weekend, on a tour bus or at the barbecue after junior training. Give it for a teammate's birthday, as a thank-you to a coach at season's end, as a club gift or as a holiday surprise for the dad who never misses a kickoff.

Quick answers

Are any national flags or team logos printed?

None. The word FLAGS is the only nod to them; there are no flags, crests, badges or team names in the art, so supporters of any side can wear it without picking one.

Which size should I order?

This men's tee runs true to size with a straight cut. Measure across the chest of a tee you like, laid flat, and match it to the width in the size guide next to the size options. Not every size comes in every color, so check the size menu.

Is it printed on both sides?

Only the front carries the print, a medium-size graphic centered on the chest. The back is left blank.

Why do the players' kits look different on each shirt?

Parts of the kits are left open in the print, so the shirt color shows through them. A darker shirt gives the players darker kits and a brighter one gives them brighter kits, so each shade tells a slightly different story.

Can it go in the dryer?

Yes, on low. Wash it cold and inside out first, and keep bleach and high heat away so the print stays crisp.
