Not the way the 3-time defending Major League Rugby Champions wanted, but fortunately for the New England Free Jacks it is only one game. The Free Jacks have their home opener in Quincy against Old Glory DC April 11.

Solid - #NEFreeJacks
Fits in perfectly with the #FreeJacks brand, and the classic hoops look amazing...but stop half way down? If they carried on with the thicker stripes it'd be excellent, but might've looked too similar to their home. Still a typically solid #NE kit!
