Our Roots...
Rugbisti was born out of a deep-seated love for rugby and a desire to keep the spirit of the game alive through nostalgic moments. The journey began in 2023 in the vibrant city of Miami, where our founder, Lorenzo, a former amateur rugby player and lifelong enthusiast, sought to create a brand that would resonate with rugby fans around the world.
The Inspiration...
Lorenzo's passion for rugby was ignited during his school years, where he played as a prop for his alumni team. The camaraderie, the thrill of the game, and the rich history of rugby left a mark on him. After retiring from active play, Lorenzo noticed a gap in the market for high-quality, custom nostalgic rugby merchandise that could bring back the memories of the golden and modern days of rugby.
Our Mission...
At Rugbisti, our mission is to celebrate the legacy of rugby by offering premium, custom, nostalgia-inspired merchandise. We are committed to: Quality: Providing high-quality products that reflect the durability and excellence of the rugby spirit. Heritage: Honoring the history and traditions of rugby through our designs and collections. Community: Building a community of rugby enthusiasts who share a passion for the game and its rich history.
The Launch...
In early 2024, Rugbisti launched its first collection, featuring a line of custom designed embroidered T-Shirts and memorabilia that harkened back to the early days of the sport.
Growing the Brand...
The response from the rugby community was overwhelmingly positive. Fans appreciated the quality and the nostalgic value of Rugbisti's products. As the brand grew, we expanded our offerings to include a wider range of merchandise.
Looking Ahead...
Rugbisti continues to innovate and expand, always staying true to our roots. We are dedicated to preserving the legacy of rugby and providing fans with products that allow them to celebrate their love for the game. As we look to the future, we remain committed to our mission and to the community that has supported us from the beginning.
