Description

The Crusaders 1871 vintage rugby shirt is made with a quality heavyweight slub cotton which gives the shirt a hard wearing yet soft and comfortable retro style finish. This British vintage ‘old school’ shirt combines heritage colour dyes with a distressed wash to produce a nicely worn-in look and feel. The Crusaders 1871 rugby shirt is completed with the red cross embroidered logo and the founding date.

Crusaders R.F.C. founded in 1871 with 37 members. They played at Primrose Hill and changed at the ‘Eton & Middlesex Hotel’ at Adelaide Road. The club later moved to Clapton and changed at the ‘Jolly Anglers’ at Homerton Lock. The club merged with Ivanhoe R.F.C. and St. Vincent R.F.C. in the 1878/79 season, retaining the name Crusaders but changing their colours from light blue with a red cross to black shirts with a red cross. In 1879 Crusaders merged with Saracens.
