Canada Rugby 1932 Shirt

In 1932, the Canadian rugby team embarked on an ambitious tour of Japan. It was a momentous occasion as the team played their first international match on January 31, 1932. The game took place at Hanazono Field in Osaka, drawing an impressive crowd of over 20,000 spectators. This tour showcased Canadian grit and determination, highlighted by a significant win against Waseda University with a score of 29–13. However, the team faced challenges, losing two test matches to Japan.

Key players like Johnny Rowland, Ivor Saundry, Sydney Selkirk, and Frank Skillings became part of this historic narrative. Their efforts on the field laid the foundation for the respect Canadian rugby holds today.

The Canada Rugby 1932 Shirt pays homage to this storied past. Produced in a bold red, it symbolizes the passion and strength of Canadian rugby. The chest features an interpretation of the oversized Canada Crest from 1932, reimagined as a stylish crest applique. Additionally, the collar stand is adorned with “1932” and “CANADA” in gold embroidery, further linking it to its historical roots.

Furthermore, this garment includes a woven label near the hem, adding a touch of elegance to its vintage aesthetic. These intricate details make the shirt more than just apparel—it’s a tribute to the resilience and legacy of the 1932 team.
