Skull and Crossbones

 * Though the company is still experimenting with a logo, most of the clothing either carries a small embroidered rugby football player or a skull and crossbones motif (a thinly veiled reference to the Skull and Bones society at Yale University).

Are we giving Skull and Bones too much credit (if that is possible)? Many social fraternities and sororities use a skull or the skull and crossbones for "until death" imagery. Could this be a more general reference? Calling it "thinly vieled" seems to be even more critical. When I read this, I thought maybe a grumpy Bonesman had put it up there. --BDD 17:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Rugby was made This dickkk

The skull and bones motif is a popular symbol in rugby, because it the formal "crest" of the School House at Rugby School where the game was founded.--NHM 14:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

There is a new Rugby Store going in on Armitage and Shefeild in Chicago. Near the Armitage Brown Line Stop. amp

Article is kinda biased
You know an article is biased when it's trying to PERSUADE readers to accept a certain point of view without any sort of documentation to back it up: "Rugby was never intended to compete with pre-teen lifestyle brands for collegiate/post-collegiate individuals such as Abercrombie & Fitch or American Eagle. Instead, it offers item such as a its staple: the rugby". Um, there are no quotes/information to bolster the claim that Rugby was never intended to compete with Abercrombie and American Eagle, and I can vouch that Abercrombie and American Eagle have sold rugby shirts in the past, so the claim that Rugby is entirely different because it is named "Rugby" and that it sells rugby shirts (along with other clothing items that would not feel out of place in Abercrombie) is invalid. Not only does the quote not make grammatical sense, anyone who ever visited the rugby website can plainly see that it's selling a style very similar to Abercrombie and Fitch. Just sayin'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.47.121.11 (talk) 07:37, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
