Meet Some Real Great Guys—The Men of the Gotham Knights Rugby Club
Photo Credit: Gotham Knights
RealJock friends the
Gotham Knights, a D3 rugby team from New York, New York, have released a new calendar to sponsor their team. Given the inclusive nature of the team—who range, as a team member told us, from "gay to bi to straight, with some guys married, some with boyfriends, some with a straight brother on the team"—we leapt at the chance to preview some of the calendar pics, and introduce RealJock members to a bunch of great, real guys who play hard and have fun.
The calendar's photos were taken last winter on the streets of Manhattan, and in the basement of Gym Bar on 8th Ave. in New York. Gym Bar is, the team tells us, a favorite hangout for New York gay sports teams after practice or tournaments and games. The perfect venue to get acquainted! If you're interested in learning more about the Gotham Knights—and, of course, buying the calendar (the holidays are coming, guys!), check out their
site.
This is Robin from Seattle, who's on the calendar's cover. He's twenty-one, and we're told he runs
very fast. We bet!
i like the pics but i think the could show their nobs so it will get me more interested in buying th calander
I actually like the airbrushing/fantasy effect they used on these pictures. It gives them a surreal quality; blurring the division between photograph and computer generated image.
I like a muscular ripped body as much as any gay, but it's not a necessity to being hot/sexy. That comes through in how a man carries himself. For me, a man's masculinity is what draws me to him, not him having 0% body fat.
I'm not a knowledgeable person when it comes to rugby, seen a few matches though. I admire the endurance it takes to play the game, and love that rugby players are notorious for running around naked. ALWAYS photos of a rugby team somewhere naked. Gotta love that team spirit! Let's see the NFL, NBA, NHL do that....please?
Yeah, the photoshopping is a bit odd (why make guys who are already extremely hot in their natural state look like they've been computer generated?), but it actually works in an odd way in this photo. Looks kinda like a Caravaggio painting (not in subject matter, but in composition and in spirit). Nice.
Shows some REAL men in their "work clothes", without "artificial bulk". Don't need to be "gym rats" to be fit--takes real stamina to play Rugby.
ooohhh like when hot and sexy sweaty bodies slitherin over each other oooohhhh llalalalalala
ooohhh yes i do support that and the thighs lovely just the kind i want
Scootergeek nailed it. Let's keep in mind the name of this website, guyz.
While many of us work on our fitness at the gym, these men do it on the pitch. While they may not be 0% body fat, they are fit as hell. You try running around the field for two 45 minute halfs non-stop with no subs. This is real jocks with real sex appeal! Plus they can probably kick your butt!
Looking hot as hell guys...
Have to agree with g4guy33. Rugby players do need spend more time in the gym. Rugby is not one of my favorite sport. These men posture problem.
not only do I love to play ruggby I love these photos very hot men
I agree- rugby team photos? HOT! HOT! HOT!
The Dieux du Stad (not sure about spelling) calendar of the French Rugby players and friends is in a totally different category from this one in terms of artistic expression and the choice of hot subjects. This is a nice attempt, but seems to fall short of the mark of its predecessor.
less photoshop plz
Airbrushing overload.... looks like they are trying to create definition with highlights/shadows and then blurring it all with a Barbara Walters filter haze. wrong creative approach with these guys.
It would be ten times better if they laid off the airbrushing a little bit, or at least made it look a little more subtle.
These guys need to speed a lot more time in the gym before insulting us with these pics...
The knights are hot!!! You know this kind of calendars help increase interest on rugby, it worked for dieux du stade (also hot) it will work for them too
