Mini Rodini E.T Patch Rugby Shirt

Mini Rodini takes the classic rugby shirt and gives it the most unexpectedly brilliant twist: a bold red check, a crisp contrast collar, and a tiny embroidered E.T. patch that turns this from preppy staple to cult favourite. It’s playful, slightly retro, and just the right amount of eccentric — exactly the energy you want from a piece that looks smart but still lets kids be kids.

The cotton is soft with a bit of weight to it, giving the shirt that perfect structured drape without feeling stiff or formal. The dropped shoulders keep it relaxed, the side splits make it easy to move in, and the longer back hem adds that little extra “Mini Rodini knows what it’s doing” detail.

But it’s the combination of colours and textures that really makes it stand out. The deep navy check against the punchy red base feels festive without screaming it, and that tiny stitched E.T. tucked inside a wreath of green leaves adds a hint of mischief. It’s the kind of top grandparents will coo over, kids will genuinely love wearing, and you’ll find yourself wishing came in adult sizes.
