May 16th
Canterbury of New Zealand is asking sporting families to post images of them on The Original Uglies facebook page - and to go into a prize draw.
The Canterbury of New Zealand UGLY jersey holds a special place in the heart of kiwis; the mismatched, colourful and unashamedly ‘loud’ long sleeved rugby jersey, originally a training jersey here, has become a favourite with rugby fans around the world.
With global sales surging, now Canterbury of New Zealand is bringing UGLY back home, with new styles to match all codes and personalities including short sleeved polo’s, hoodies, beanies, socks, and other accessories right through to the infamous long sleeve rugby shirt – all which proudly incorporate aspects of the UGLY style.
Marketing and Sponsorship Manager for Canterbury of New Zealand, Colin Gibson says “Everyone knows the UGLY. It’s a style that reminds us of days past, of how things used to be in New Zealand; the joy of the simple things in life, like being outdoors, kicking a ball round or mucking about in the backyard with mates.”
The UGLY history began in the early 1970s; Canterbury of New Zealand was supplying rugby kit to so many teams around the world that its factories were left with a problem: what should they do with the bits and pieces of fabric that were used to make the many different jerseys of these teams? The solution was genius: they just stitched them together and marketed them as ‘practice’ jerseys. More >
