Belgrade Rugby Club Red Star, (Serbian: Београдски рагби клуб Црвена звезда), is a rugby union team from Belgrade, Serbia. The club is a member of the Rugby Union of Serbia.[1] The club is also member of the Red Star Sports Society (Sportsko Drustvo Crvena Zvezda).[2][3] The team wears a red and white strip.
History
The original Belgrade Rugby Club (BRK) was founded on December 20, 1982. In the early 1990s it was renamed as the Royal Belgrade Rugby Club (KBRK) with the blessing of Prince Alexander II Karađorđević, who became the patron of the club.[4][5] The team's blue and white bird logo on a rugby ball was replaced by a golden crown on the rugby ball. As KBRK, the club was successful in the nineties and noughties.
In 2012 the club's executive committee decided to return to the old name of BRK and reverted to a re-styled version of the bird logo.
The following year changed the name of the club to Belgrade Rugby Club Red Star (BRK Crvena Zvezda). Unhappy with this decision, a group of former BRK-KBRK players led by Danijem Stricevicem decided to split away. A new club was formed under the Royal Belgrade Rugby Club (KBRK) name in 2014.[4]
