Australia Rugby League Referee Shirt - 8/10 - (XL)

Official Australia rugby league referee shirt, worn by the match officials who oversee one of the most physically demanding and technically complex sports on the planet in a country where rugby league is not merely a sport but a fundamental part of the cultural identity of entire communities across New South Wales and Queensland whose passion for the thirteen-man code runs as deep and as fiercely as anything in the entire landscape of Australian sport. A genuinely unusual and distinctive piece of rugby league memorabilia that exists entirely outside the conventional collector's market for player and supporter shirts, representing the officiating side of a sport whose referees must combine an intimate knowledge of the game's complex laws with the physical fitness and mental fortitude to manage the most intense and physically combative matches in the sport at the very highest level of the Australian game. A large size Australian rugby league referee shirt in this condition is a wonderfully unusual and conversation-starting collector's piece that offers a completely different perspective on the sport and its infrastructure to anything else in the vintage rugby league memorabilia market. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
