In the annals of rugby history, West Kent Rugby Football Club stands tall, tracing its roots back to the very formation of Rugby Football in 1871. Moreover, it was among the pioneering clubs that shaped the sport’s early days.
Arthur George Guillemard, born in 1845, epitomized the spirit of West Kent RFC. Furthermore, he played a pivotal role in shaping the early landscape of rugby. As a founding member, he represented West Kent in the historic match against Scotland in 1871. Additionally, Guillemard’s contributions extended beyond the field, serving as a referee and later becoming the president of the Rugby Football Union.
Joseph Green‘s tenure at West Kent showcased brilliance on the field. Subsequently, he earned recognition as one of the most exceptional half-backs of his time. However, his career met an unfortunate end due to a knee injury sustained during the inaugural international match against Scotland.
Charles William Sherrard’s legacy transcended rugby as a British Army officer. Additionally, he was among the first to represent the armed forces on the rugby field. His tenure with West Kent saw him excel, contributing significantly to the club’s success.
Charles Burgess Fry’s name resonates across various sports. Despite narrowly missing out on an England cap in rugby, Fry’s prowess on the field was undeniable. His affiliation with West Kent underscored the club’s legacy as a breeding ground for exceptional talent.
The Ellis Rugby West Kent RFC clothing collection pays homage to the illustrious history of the club’s founding pioneers. Consequently, the vintage-inspired collection, featuring West Kent 1871 Polo, Rugby Shirts, and Sweatshirt Zippers, encapsulates the spirit of West Kent’s rich rugby heritage.
In essence, West Kent RFC’s journey from its inception in 1871 to the creation of the Ellis Rugby collection is a testament to its enduring legacy in the world of rugby football. Please note we use Ecru colour, rather than pure white to create a vintaged aged look to the garment.
The available sizes are S – 5XL.
Please note: The Ellis Rugby ‘Story-Teller’ is an additional feature to our garments. We will not accept returns. Or supply replacements if the tag does not work, or stops working during the garment’s life.
