USA 1924 Vintage Rugby Shirt
USA 1924 Vintage Rugby Shirt. After winning gold at the Summer Olympics of 1920, the United States successfully defended their crown, defeating France in the final by a score of 17-5. After the match, rugby union was banned from the Olympics due to crowd trouble, with one USA player being knocked out unconscious after being struck by a walking stick. So much for rugby being the gentleman’s game.
