YMC aka You Must Create was founded by Jimmy Collins and Fraser Moss in 1995, and was originally deemed to create workwear and military-based clothing, however their inspirations now lie in a broader range including arts, music, punk, sportswear, and DIY attitudes.

The upcoming collection is inspired by sportswear and includes, shorts, jerseys, trousers, and jackets. The collection is constructed using traditional fabrics with modern design techniques including aloha prints, mismatched stripes, and graphic letter badges.

The YMC site introduces the collaboration,

"Inspired by the heritage, passion and flair of rugby, YMC is excited to announce the launch of this brand new, exclusive collection in collaboration with global sportswear brand Umbro. Fraser Moss, YMC creative director, has delved into his own upbringing and the zeal of rugby fans around the world to develop this 13 piece capsule collection."

In a press release made by YMC, Freaser Moss, Creative Director, talks about the upcoming collaboration and his inspiration behind the collection,

"As a child growing up in ’70s Wales, there was no escaping the rugby furore, mainly because we were good at it – arguably the best. The passion still holds true today, if not the success. It’s our national sport – a game for all people, not just the entitled. We live and breathe it to the point of obsession. And when our players translate this into an emotional fervour, we call it ‘hwyl’. There was only one choice of inspiration for me – the game played with the egg-shaped ball."
