Covid-19 update

Black&Blue1871 is an online business and we remain open. Please be aware that our normal delivery times may be affected due to the global outbreak of COVID-19.

Shirts that require logo embroidery or number patches may take 1-2 weeks to process and so delivery may be slower than normal. Due to high demand and the need for facemasks our embroiderer has a backlog of work and so shirt embroidery may be delayed as a result.

We thank you for your support and patience while we prepare your orders for delivery. We will update you once your order is ready to be shipped.

Description

The vintage Addison 1871 rugby shirt is made with a heavyweight slub cotton which gives the shirt a hard wearing yet soft and comfortable retro style finish.

This vintage ‘old school’ Addison 1871 rugby shirt combines heritage colour dyes with a distressed wash to produce a nicely worn-in look and feel.

The letter ‘A’ is sewn on to a square patch on the back of the shirt to reflect the tradition of letters, as well as numbers, being used on rugby shirts.

This classic Addison 1871 rugby shirt is inspired by the founding members of the RFU.

All our vintage rugby shirts come packaged in a stylish Black&Blue1871 cotton drawstring bag.

ADDISON F.C.

FOUNDER MEMBER OF THE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION

Addison were founded in 1869 with about 50 members and fielded two XXs.

The club originated in the part of Kensington to the west of Holland Park. The streets are named after Joseph Addison, the politician and writer. Addison himself once lived at Holland House in Holland Park.

Addison originally played and changed at the red House Farm, in what is now called Little Wormwood Scrubs.

In 1872 the club moved to the ‘Rifle Pavilion’ on the corner of Wood Lane and North Pole Road. The club moved again in 1874 to Shepherd’s Bush Green.

Addison disbanded in 1875
