Its failure also seems to indicate that young people have lost interest in preppy style yet again, which is always disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884505482019874333.post-39212139344554828212013-01-24T13:09:42.318-05:002013-01-24T13:09:42.318-05:00Entirely agree with you and the other comments. I ...Entirely agree with you and the other comments. I don't really think there is a need for the line as the classic items that we prefer are quite similar to the Blue Label. <br /><br />Also, the prices were really quite all over the place and I see this as a reflection of the confused identity that led to their demise. Several months ago on a visit to the store, I noticed most items at 40% off, putting sweaters between $40-$70, while several other sweaters were still tagged a whopping $600 at full price!

The Rugby line started when I was at UVA and they opened one of their first stores in C'Ville. We are all SUPER into at first, but after awhile, it was more of a, "Do we need to have a skull and crossbones on EVERYTHING?" Even their window displays looked like they were trying too hard. I just kind of stopped ever looking at their products, which is a shame, because some of it was fantastic.

I agree with you, maybe if they had stayed closer to their roots (I have some great shirts from a few years ago!) maybe they would have stayed popular.
