Rugby runs in my veins, well past midnight.

This French rugby poster is the Midnight Edition of Rugby Runs in My Veins, made for France supporters who like their colors set against the dark. It's original RaZits artwork, and a gift that lands with anyone who has ever stayed up to rewatch a France match.

The design: a French rugby poster in midnight tones

This is Rugby Runs in My Veins with the house lights turned down. It's a dark-toned poster featuring the Tricolore front and center, and the illustration leans retro. It has a clean, bold palette with a darker contrast, so the blue, white and red are the first thing your eye finds.

Midnight is when match day really ends for a supporter. The floodlit evening game is over, the last replay has been argued about, and the scarf is still on. This edition belongs to that hour: quieter than kickoff, and every bit as proud.

The name makes the case without a speech. Some people follow France rugby. Others were raised on it, and that loyalty has never once depended on the score.

Heavy matte paper, no shine on the dark tones

• 11 sizes: 5″ × 7″ (12.7 × 17.8 cm), 8″ × 10″ (20.3 × 25.4 cm), 10″ × 10″ (25.4 × 25.4 cm), 11″ × 14″ (27.9 × 35.6 cm), 12″ × 12″ (30.5 × 30.5 cm), 12″ × 16″ (30.5 × 40.6 cm), 14″ × 14″ (35.6 × 35.6 cm), 16″ × 16″ (40.6 × 40.6 cm), 16″ × 20″ (40.6 × 50.8 cm), 18″ × 18″ (45.7 × 45.7 cm) and 18″ × 24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm), in portrait and square formats
• 189 g/m² enhanced matte paper, sourced from Japan and 10.3 mil thick, so it feels solid in your hands rather than flimsy
• A matte surface without the mirror-like shine of gloss, which matters most on a darker design
• A bright white base (104% ISO brightness), so the whites stay clean and the flag colors stay clear
• 94% opacity, so a colored wall won't show through the paper
• Arrives unframed, so the frame is your call

Who it's for

Designed for fans of the French national team: lifelong supporters, collectors of rugby flag posters, and anyone who would rather hang a dark rugby poster than a bright one. It sits well on offices, clubs, or gallery walls, in a game room or a rugby fan room, and over the bar at a pub that shows every match. It also makes a good birthday present for a rugby-loving friend, a holiday gift, or a thank-you to a teammate. Fellow supporters won't need it explained.

Quick answers

How is this different from the Daylight Edition?

Both carry the Rugby Runs in My Veins name. The Daylight Edition is the bright version, set on soft green; this is the night-time colorway. Pick the one that suits your wall, or hang the two together as a day-and-night pair.

Which frame should I buy?

Order the frame in your print's size. Ready-made US frames are easy to find at 18″ × 24″, 16″ × 20″, 11″ × 14″, 8″ × 10″ and 5″ × 7″. Want a mat border? Size the frame up one step. Black frames suit this palette.

Where should I hang it so it lasts?

Pick a spot that direct sun doesn't reach, and skip damp rooms like bathrooms. Framing it gives the paper extra protection over the years.

Is it licensed by a team or league?

No. RaZits designed it independently for people who love France rugby. No team, league or federation has licensed, sponsored or endorsed it.
