The New England Free Jacks are proud to unveil the much-anticipated 2025 Club Jersey and Member Jersey, each a testament to the team’s relentless pursuit of excellence and deep ties to New England’s rich history. Inspired by the defiant spirit of American naval hero John Paul Jones and the rallying cry, “We have not yet begun,” these jerseys embody resilience, community, and a dedication to progress.

The Creative Vision Behind the 2025 Jerseys

Taking inspiration from John Paul Jones’ famous words, “I have not yet begun to fight,” the Free Jacks continue their journey with unwavering determination.

John Paul Jones, the renowned revolutionary naval hero, is famously remembered for his defiant words during a fierce battle with a British ship. When one of his crew members urged him to surrender, Jones responded with the resolute declaration, “I have not yet begun to fight.” True to his word, he and his crew went on to commandeer the Serapis, a British warship, as his own vessel began to sink.

After four years of building and winning, the Free Jacks have not yet begun.

“We Have Not Yet Begun perfectly encapsulates the next phase of the Free Jacks’ evolution. We didn’t get where we are by only looking backward, and these jerseys symbolize our dedication to continued excellence.”

— Oliver Gilpin, Branding & Design

Fresh off back-to-back Major League Rugby championships, the Free Jacks refuse to rest on their laurels. Echoing John Paul Jones’ legendary refusal to surrender, these jerseys symbolize the team’s commitment to pushing boundaries and striving for greatness.

Each jersey is a blend of historical inspiration and modern design, crafted to reflect the ethos of the Free Jacks: bold, fearless, and forward-thinking.

The Club Jersey

The Club Jersey takes its cues from John Paul Jones’ Serapis Flag. 

The flag, created based on misunderstood specifications from Benjamin Franklin, was a daring statement of individuality. Similarly, the Club Jersey features a non-uniform stripe pattern that feels authentically Free Jacks while breaking new ground.
