Dear Parents & Players,
Mrs Karen Ireland is planning on preparing an order for some Holloway Rugby jackets. They will be similar to the jacket we have at the moment, but a slightly different design as that jacket design had been discontinued. The jacket will be green with white detail and will have Shanahan Rugby printed on the back. On the front left chest, there will be the Shanahan eagle emblem. On the front right chest, you can have a single name printed, if you wish.
Last time I ordered the jackets, the boys chose to have their last name - I think we will keep with that. (You can order without a name if you wish)
The price of the jacket, with all printing, will be $65.
If you would like a closer look at the jacket, go to the website
www.hollowayusa.comand click on warmups, microcord, unisex, Stealth style 229047
Dark green/white.
I will be accepting orders until Feb 20th. Please inform me of quantity, size and name choice.
Please make checks payable to Karen Ireland and mail them to 1105 Maryland Circle, Downingtown, PA 19335. Thank you.
