Full story — Ben supplies final copy
Her name. Her colour. Her tee.
Sophie de Goede kicks off a Rugby Bricks Vortex. So when we set out to build the first signature tee in the game, there was only one athlete to build it with. She picked the colour. She dialled the setup. She put her name on the box.
This is more than a paint job. Every pack sends a share back to Sophie, so the players who grow the game earn from the gear that carries their name. Buy the pack, back the athlete, kick like she does.
Sophie is not part of the Lions Tour. The tee simply lands in the same red-hot window, and that suits us fine.
