    Really doubt that. Provinces have control over their jersey design and this is a different manufacturer. Wouldn't say it looks like the Irish one.
    Green also is the provincial colour.

    I wasn't being entirely serious!

    I guess you are correct that it is a provincial colour, but it has never been a colour of Leinster Rugby. Leinster have always been blue, white and yellow.

    I like the military style away one.

    A thumbs up for both from me.

    More proof of Ryan's messiah like qualities, its piXXing down and not a drop of rain on his beautiful hair

    Jerseys are vile. The watermark or whatever you want to call it is really bad. Not as bad as the new Munster home, but still bad.

    Might as well start the saving private Ryan jokes now. Are we looking to sort out the defence forces with the left over material?

    Awful. Absolutely dreadful efforts. Unless they knock it out of the park with the European jersey, the first two years with Adidas are a total write off.

    I don't hate them but there's a serious lack of contrast between the two.

    The away one just looks like a copy of a recent Munster jersey?

    Jerseys are fine. We have the same complaints every single time there's a new jersey out. They're a damn sight better than some of the efforts we've seen over the past decade. Comfortbaly prefer these to the chequered jersey, the high vis yellow jersey or the unicorn jizz one. I'm not mad on the watermark effect but the overall design is pretty close to what many say they want in the home jersey.

    I’m sure the away jersey will look like black on a rainy Friday evening in Llanelli :pac:

    The home one is nice, would be better with navy shorts but it's a nice top.

    Lack of contrast?

    Are you sure you've phrased that correctly?
    If you mean the actually Jersey style it's the current style Adidas are doing for all their jersey's.

    I really like them.

    Won’t need to iron the home jersey, the pattern will just look normal! Although don’t think I’ve ever ironed a jersey in my life (maybe the mother did for some underage cup games!)

    This one? Very similar style alright. I like them both, probably prefer the colour scheme on the Munster one but both are decent, for me.

    Yea, it's a fairly lazy attempt from Adidas. Take a Munster jersey, remove the watermarking and stick a different badge on it.

    It upsets my OCD how the 4 stars on the blue one appear to be off-centre.

    I’m quite happy with the home one, would prefer it without the pattern, but that’s never going to happen. As it is the pattern is subtle enough not to be obtrusive. How much are they’re jersey’s for other clubs? €80?

    Yeah, both dark colours in the blue/green spectrum. Glasgow, Ospreys away could be problematic.

    Ah I get you, monotone jerseys.
    And fair v point about playing away against teams with darker jerseys.
    I do think it will show as a lighter tone against those dark navy ones

    Think the home jersey is light enough, it’s the same royal blue the training gear is.

    Pretty lazy from Adidas though, right? Its like they have a template and just change colour.

    Unfortunate consequence to winning months after production has started.

    Range between €70-80. Seems Adidas are €75 across the board.
