It is the cheeky double meaning that has followed the oval ball around for generations, the gag you trot out to wind up the football lot down the pub. This sweatshirt wears it proudly, with a knowing nod rather than a nudge, because the people who get it really get it and the people who do not were never the target anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits the clubman with a sense of humour, the player who takes the game seriously but never himself. Pull it on after training, to the clubhouse, or to any gathering where you fancy a quiet chuckle from the rugby crowd in the room. The thick 280gsm fabric gives it the warmth and weight that makes it a go-to layer through the cold months, joke and all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Thinking Behind The Odd Shaped Balls Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe joke works on two levels at once, and that is the whole craft of it. On the surface it is a simple fact about the ball. Underneath it is the cheeky wink that rugby folk have been enjoying since the first awkward bounce sent a winger the wrong way. Stating it once and trusting it to land is what makes it funny. Over-explain it and you kill it stone dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why it suits the bloke who likes his humour dry and delivered straight-faced. He does not need to laugh at his own joke. He just lets the sweatshirt do it for him. It is a natural pick alongside the cheekier end of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rugby-gifts\"\u003erugby gifts\u003c\/a\u003e range, and a guaranteed grin from anyone who has spent a Saturday chasing a ball that never goes where you expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRugby Sweatshirt That Gets It Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cheeky slogan needs a sweatshirt that backs it up, not a flimsy top that lets the gag down the first time you wear it. This one is built from a thick 280gsm cotton-faced blend, soft against the skin and warm as toast, so it has the heft and comfort of a top you actually want to live in through winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print stays crisp and bold so the line reads clearly across the chest, no fading or cracking after a few washes. It is the kind of sweatshirt a rugby man reaches for again and again, equally at home at the bar, on the sofa, or stood on the touchline with a brew while the under-12s have a go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRugby Sweatshirt FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this rugby sweatshirt made from and how is it printed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rugby sweatshirt is made from a thick 280gsm blend of 80% ringspun cotton and 20% polyester with a soft cotton-faced finish. The print is applied to stay crisp and bold across the chest and resists fading and cracking through repeated washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the sweatshirt fit and size up?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweatshirt has a generous fit that suits layering over a base shirt on a cold day. Most buyers take their usual size, so check the size chart before ordering and size up only if you prefer a looser, roomier feel around the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow quickly does it ship and can it be personalised?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are printed within 1 to 2 production days then shipped on a 1 to 3 day UK service.

It makes a cracking gift for a team mate with a dry sense of humour, or a self-buy for the player who happily winds up the football crowd at every chance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rugby Nut","offers":[{"title":"X-Small \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835615403,"sku":"JH030-XS-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835648171,"sku":"JH030-S-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835680939,"sku":"JH030-M-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835713707,"sku":"JH030-L-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835746475,"sku":"JH030-XL-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835779243,"sku":"JH030-2XL-JBK","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835812011,"sku":"JH030-3XL-JBK","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835844779,"sku":"JH030-4XL-JBK","price":33.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5X-Large \/ Jet Black","offer_id":41607835877547,"sku":"JH030-5XL-JBK","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607835910315,"sku":"JH030-XS-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607835943083,"sku":"JH030-S-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607835975851,"sku":"JH030-M-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607836008619,"sku":"JH030-L-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607836041387,"sku":"JH030-XL-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607836074155,"sku":"JH030-2XL-FIR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Fire Red","offer_id":41607836106923,"sku":"JH030-3XL-FIR","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836139691,"sku":"JH030-XS-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836172459,"sku":"JH030-S-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836205227,"sku":"JH030-M-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836237995,"sku":"JH030-L-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836270763,"sku":"JH030-XL-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Oxford Navy","offer_id":41607836303531,"sku":"JH030-2XL-OXN","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Small \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836336299,"sku":"JH030-XS-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836369067,"sku":"JH030-S-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836401835,"sku":"JH030-M-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836434603,"sku":"JH030-L-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836467371,"sku":"JH030-XL-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2X-Large \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836500139,"sku":"JH030-2XL-HGR","price":32.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3X-Large \/ Heather Grey","offer_id":41607836532907,"sku":"JH030-3XL-HGR","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/4550\/8779\/products\/OddShapedBallsNavyUnisexSweatshirt.png?v=1647406916","url":"https:\/\/rugbynut.co.uk\/products\/odd-shaped-balls-sweatshirt","provider":"Rugby Nut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
