Actually I believe Benetton started the rugby craze and Coca-Cola copied it. Benetton owns a rugby team so it made sense for them. Not sure why everyone wore the Coca-Cola ones though; I thought they were kind of dumb. I had a green Benetton one; I saved up to buy it one summer. I remember wearing it when I first got it even though it was way too hot to wear in the summer. Thank goodness the Sizzler was air-conditioned. :)

I thought the United Colors of Benneton was so cool. Looking through their catalogs as a girl is where I developed a fondness for fairisle sweaters. The pictures with the multi-cultural themes were very chic and avant-garde. I could never afford any of the clothes, but do remember owning the perfume. It smelled more like cologne than perfume and came in a small green hexagonal glass bottle. The company came out with another scent called Tribu while I was in high school, but it really stunk!
