theArmsPark.co.uk Merch!
Home of Rugby
By Andrew Collins
July 11 2011
theArmsPark.co.uk is proud to announce it now has it’s very own merchandise – this superb t-shirt designed by SpiceTag.com, Cardiff’s hottest Graphic Design Company!
theArmsPark.co.uk is delighted to reveal our new t-shirt, featuring the iconic image of Gareth Edwards which is spray painted at Cardiff Arms Park.
Most fans will already be aware of the graffiti, located on the perimeter wall next to the club house, and is recognised as one the Arms Parks most noteworthy features. The image is captioned ‘The Home of Rugby’ – a fitting tribute to our former home.
The shirt has been designed by SpiceTag.com, a Cardiff-based printing company set up my two young graphic design graduates. Spice Tag says,
‘You've probably bought T-shirts in the past that might have faded after a couple of washes, fallen apart or lost their shape after wearing them a few times. We'll give you a T-shirt that will last the test of time, will never lose it's impact and will always show you as the individual you are. We use top quality materials and state-of the-art printing technology to ensure you're presented in high-definition time after time, wash after wash.’
A bargain at just £11.95, we feel the shirt encompasses everything we love about Cardiff rugby, and also sends the message that Cardiff Arms Park will forever be ‘The Home of Rugby’.
You can purchase the t-shirt through SpiceTag.com or by go to this page directly, by clicking here.

"a fitting tribute to our former home"???????
Not sure about that.
For a start I watched Cardiff at The Arms Park last season and i'll do the same next season 2011/2012, so how can it be "our former home" when Cardiff are still playing there?
Also, i'm not so sure if it's a fitting tribute either considering GOE was collectively booed by the South Terrace at the end of the Edinburgh game. We're a few years down the line now and look what's happened and what is happening.
That being said I think it's a fantastic t-shirt and I would have bought 2 dozen for myself, friends and family if things were different. Alas I won't be purchasing any at all unless...

Yes but by 'our' I was quite obviously referring to the Cardiff Blues. I realise you're only really playing devils advocate here, but I must say as a member of the south terrace I certainly did not boo Gareth Edwards.
I reiterate my belief that, as fans of the regional side, our history still encompasses that of Cardiff RFC, and what more of an iconic image of CRFC than Gareth Edwards?
But seen as we're playing that game, you could buy it now and wear it in a couple of years when the RFC side are forced to move

I like it. Shame that, same as most threads on this site it turns to the same old argument.

I didn't boo either.
I knew what you meant Admin. I was just being mischievous.

Pedantic I think is the word you're looking for. You're quite good at that.

And at changing my mind because with all things considered I think i'm going to buy one providing they are not too figure hugging.
Without actually saying it in words, this t-shirt screams Cardiff, Blue and Blacks and Cardiff Arms Park. I might get two.

This is the sort of product the club shop should be selling; they might make some money

Any chance the Supporters Club could sell these from their container shop on match days?
How about a Cambridge Blue one?

Got mine last week. The blue is a bit vibrant out of the bag but after a wash it looks great. Very pleased with it.
