    Don't get why they have to have silly sticky rubber bits on the chest on all their jerseys. Does it serve any sort of purpose? Other than I like it. I love plain jerseys.

    Great for holding your pint against in a crowded area.. An anti spill device ;)

    That's actually lovely. Nice hommage to the bands but still fairly contemporary and simple.

    It's better than last season by a mile, but it's still rotten compared to their Cotton Trader gear.

    Grip. Not much, but more is better than less.

    This shirt is the actual ones that will be worn by players. It is tight fitting and also includes a pouch on the back for a GPS system to track all the players moves. The shirt is also covered in grip panels so that the players won't lose the ball in contact.
    On ebay.

    Wouldn't surprise me if the next Leinster jersey is the same as the Leicester one in blue with white, gold and dark blue bands going around the middle

    Grip for what?

    Yea, I would have thought the only people who'd be gripping your shirt in that position would be the opposition and I'm not sure why you'd want to make it easier for them to get a hold of you.

    Was part of the reason for the tight shirts that players now wear not to try and make it more difficult for players to be dragged down by their shirt?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Yeah. Unless it's grip for the ball being held by the chest, then that makes sense I guess...

    That's exactly what it's for. In football David James piloted similar initiative for goalkeepers where they had grips on the chest to help them hold the ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Ah, fair enough.

    I got the players version from rugbystore today.

    The Lions Authentic jersey is incredibly tight for the size too.

    The Lions test jersey is really really tight for the size. When they say go a size up, DO IT!
