Ellis Rugby Australia RL 1908-09 Rugby Shirt

Ellis Rugby’s Australia RL 1908-09 rugby shirt draws on the first Australian Rugby League tour, the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. The design references the jumpers worn on that tour, combining the sky blue of New South Wales with the maroon of Queensland in an irregular hoop pattern.

Created in collaboration with The Dally Messenger Brand, it carries period-inspired detailing throughout. A full button-through placket is finished with branded buttons, while the chest is set with an appliqué shaped like the Australian continent, stitched with “Kangaroo” and “1908-09”. Under the collar, gold stitching reads “Australia” and “1908-09”, completing a shirt that directly reflects this chapter of rugby league history.
