Rugby Ralph Lauren is officially no more. They sent out an e-mail that said "Thanks for shopping with us the past eight years!" then redirects recipients to RalphLauren.com, where the company assures you that you can still "shop the latest preppy styles." If ever there was an excuse to use an emoticon on Racked, this is it. And it would be a sad face. [Racked Inbox]
