The Heritage of Ellis Rugby

Kevin Ellis, the driving force behind Ellis Rugby, brings a unique perspective to the brand with over a decade of playing professional Rugby League.

“My vision for Ellis Rugby was to create garments that not only look good. But also tell the captivating stories of Rugby League’s illustrious past” commented Kevin Ellis, Ellis Rugby Founder.

Ellis Rugby stands out by focusing on the heritage of Rugby League. The brand offers a range of garments that are meticulously designed to reflect significant moments and figures in the sport’s history. Each piece is more than just clothing. It’s a narrative woven into fabric, providing a tangible connection to Rugby League’s storied past.

“This vision aligns perfectly with the passion and dedication seen in TotalRL.com’s commitment to covering the sport” commented Martyn Sadler, League Express Editor.

The Unique ‘Story-Teller’ Chip

A distinctive feature of Ellis Rugby garments is the innovative ‘Story-Teller’ microchip embedded in all new products. Furthermore, this chip can be scanned using a mobile phone. Playing the story behind the shirt directly to the customer. This unique feature ensures that the legacy of Rugby League is communicated in a modern, engaging way. In addition, the swing tags and packaging further enhance this storytelling experience, providing additional context and history.

Highlight: The Great Britain Rugby League Shirt 1958

One of the standout pieces in the collection is the 1958 Great Britain Rugby League Shirt. This jersey commemorates the 1958 Ashes Series. A memorable chapter in Rugby League history. Despite losing the first test 25-8 to the Kangaroos in Sydney. The Great Britain team made a remarkable comeback in the second test in Brisbane. Inspired by their captain Alan Prescott. Who famously played on with a broken right arm from the 3rd minute. The team secured a 25-18 victory. Prescott’s refusal to leave the field, even when offered a pain-killing injection at half-time, exemplified extraordinary bravery and commitment. Great Britain went on to clinch the series with a 40-17 win in the third test. Solidifying Prescott’s story as one of the sport’s most heroic feats.

The ‘Story-Teller’ video in the garment features footage of this outstanding 1958 Ashes Test series.

Kevin Ellis’s background as a professional rugby player for over ten years adds a personal touch to the brand. Also, his firsthand experience and understanding of the game lend authenticity to Ellis Rugby’s offerings.

And fabrics with exclusive use of 100% organic cotton for all their garments. Also, this significantly reduces the ecological footprint compared to polyester which is manufactured from petroleum-based chemicals and also none biodegradable.
