Canterbury

Canterbury is a New Zealand brand founded in 1904, long associated with rugby — most visibly through its connection to the All Blacks — though its reach extends to football and other sports. Its designs lean towards the functional, with athletic cuts and clean colour palettes. In this archive, Canterbury is represented by a single shirt tied to the Guernsey Rugby Academy, a piece that sits at the crossroads of rugby heritage and the hooped aesthetic that defines Hoopster's collection. A solitary entry, but one that shows how green and white stripes travel across sports and the islands of the North Atlantic.
