Title says it all ;-)
And credit to Sean (rugbeia.com) for this candid - but so true! - motto that he posted a few days ago on his Twitter thread (@rugbeia) !!
A Photoshop (actually Gimp...) effort from this nice French advertising print c1925... Petrole Hahn (a hair lotion) was sponsoring and financing these posters that were given away for free to clubs, which were then able to print their own text in the lower part left blank.
I hope that Twickenham World Rugby Museum won't bother me using one of their souvenir postcards (left) as template for my season greetings... I haven't been able to make a good scan or photography of my own poster... I probably have to frame it first...
Let's also note that actual colors are much more vivid (no filter and no flash for this snapshot)...
PS : interesting to see that the guys at "Petrole Hahn" have been pretty consistent in their support for rugby over time... their "ambassador" in France has been Biarritz international scrum-half Dimitri Yachvilli for a couple of years now... Indeed, Drimitri's hair is better than mine...
