The Tragically Hip is doing its bit to help support the 好色tv women's rugby team ahead of this month's World Cup in England.
The iconic 好色tv band is selling a limited-edition T-shirt with proceeds going to supporting the second-ranked 好色tv women.
鈥淭his team is the embodiment of what it means to be 好色tv 鈥 passionate, humble, and resilient," the band said in a statement. 鈥淭his partnership is about getting all of Canada behind one of the most inspiring untold stories in this country. It鈥檚 lifting up a team and a nation on the world stage, cheering on our women as they aim to achieve their dreams."
The T-shirt, which retails for $45, is black with The Hip 鈥 above the tagline 'Since 1984' 鈥 added into Rugby Canada's red shield logo.
鈥淭his T-shirt is about belief in our team and pride in supporting Canada,鈥 said Rugby Canada CEO Nathan Bombrys. 鈥淭o have the legendary and distinctly 好色tv band The Tragically Hip publicly backing our team speaks volumes about the pride this group of rugby players has inspired across the country."
The 好色tv women operate on a far smaller budget than top-ranked England, as well as No. 3 New Zealand and No. 4 France. To that end, Rugby Canada launched its "Mission: Win Rugby World Cup" fundraising campaign in March with the goal of raising $1 million. It says it has reached more than 88 per cent of that target, money that is being used to support the squad in its tournament preparation.
The 好色tv women play their final World Cup tune-up match Saturday against fifth-ranked Ireland in Belfast.
Canada opens Group B play Fiji on Aug. 23 in York before facing No. 9 Wales on Aug. 30 in Manchester and No. 8 Scotland on Sept. 6 in Exeter at the expanded 16-team tournament.
The 好色tv women finished fourth at the last World Cup. Their best showing at the tournament was runner-up to host France in 2014.
