Stade Français’ Pop Art Rugby Team Shirt
The Paris-based Rugby club Stade Français have yet to win Europe’s most coveted club tournament, but they continue to make a fashion statement, every kit gets flashier and flashier (gayer?) as each season passes. The team has chosen to adopt a Warhol inspired pop-art print for their third team shirt (the primary team kit color is pink) which features serial image of a French queen, Parisienne 13th-century heroine Blanche de Castille, the wife of Louis VIII to be exact. The shirts are all part of media mogul Max Guazzini’s colourful hands on ownership which raises the profile of the team while challenging macho stereotypes, i.e. over the top Rugby kits and homo-erotic calendars like “The Gods of Stade”.

Muscular guys rolling around with each other in the dirt and mud grunting and sweating… can you please tell me ONE gay thing about that?!? Sheesh.
I guess people just see what they want to see.
(hey.. why do I have a boner all of a sudden?)
Outstanding design on the rugby shirt, super nice look. I wonder what Blanche de Castille would think?
the 2006, 7 and 8 calenders are priced at the same level as the 2009 one. If you want a bargain, check out 2005…
I think all of the rugby kits are fantastic , i am a kiwi so the All Blacks are my team but now i will be a new supporter !!!!!
They wear pink usually and did a book where they were running around naked together. Of course Stade Francais are gay! Now, where do I get one of these pop art kits?!
