Definition of rugby

From Casey, for About.com

Definition: Rugby tops are boldly striped polo-style jerseys originally worn only on the rugby field, but have been adopted as an unofficial uniform by many prepsters. Any teen store you walk into, you're bound to see a million and one rugby tees. A fitted (not tight!) fit is essential and the funkier the colors, the better.
Pronunciation: rug-be
