"Rugby, hockey and other games for boys"

"Rugby, hockey and other games for boys"
Great news for fans of classic British sports aesthetics! The leading Dutch men's magazine ModMod has released a stunning photographic series and lifestyle editorial in its latest Issue #14, completely dedicated to the timeless culture of traditional team sports: "Rugby, hockey and other games for boys."

Rugby is so much more than eighty minutes of hard work on the pitch; it is a culture, a style, and a way of life. This season, ModMod captures that unique atmosphere perfectly.


What the Feature Covers

The editorial pays homage to traditional prep school sports style and the deep camaraderie found within men's teams. Photographer Hein Gijsbers and stylist Lotte Wierenga masterfully capture the raw elegance of these sports. Expect a heavy dose of visual inspiration, including:
  • Vintage Sporting Attire: Classic, heavy-collared rugby shirts and traditional field hockey influences.
  • Modern Menswear Meets Sports History: A look at how the authentic rugby vibe translates into contemporary casual menswear and streetwear.
  • The Aesthetic of Brotherhood: Powerful portraits that breathe the focus, discipline, and team spirit of the game.
Curious to see it? ModMod #14 is available now. You can also catch an exclusive online preview of the shoot on the official Instagram page (@modmodnl).
