2013/2014 Rugby Jerseys thread

It's the thing I hate about puma (and why I'd love ua) is that their jerseys feel like a wetsuit and when you sweat in them they feel horrible.

Home is meh. Away one is awful. When will collars make their comeback...

Look forward to seeing what a new sponsor will do with it next year to be honest.

I like the away one a lot. Might have to get that one.

Don't think we'll ever see collars like was on the old style jerseys.

The shirt is also covered in grip panels so that the players won't lose the ball in contact.

That's what we have two hands for! To hold the ball!

Any word on Leinsters' new jersey this season?

My guess is that it's gonna be similar to Leicesters new one just blue with Navy, Yellow and White strips across the middle instead - which would be nice.

I didn't think we were getting a new jersey? I would weep with joy if we got a Navy blue and gold version of Leicester's jersey. Their jersey is so nice they should just be gifted the Heineken Cup.

I agree. A lot of people don't seem to like it but I think it's one of the nicest jerseys to have been released in a long time

We're getting a new pro12 home/away jersey. Keeping the current European jersey.

I dunno, I like Leicesters jersey but it's more a nod to their traditional hoops. It'd be unique to them so I can't see them being used for our jersey. I think it'll be quite plain, with some detail of the harp worked in there somehow.

trouttrout · 13-06-2013 2:41pm

I must be the only one who actually likes the away Ireland jersey!

trouttrout · 13-06-2013 2:42pm

btw, I came across an Ireland player issue Puma anthem top a few weeks ago. It's extra large, fits me but a tiny bit big. Would be up for swapping it if anyone has anything to offer in exchange

Nope. I love it.

I actually like Leinster's current jersey, but I think pretty much everyone agrees that it could do with losing the big harp. Honestly, how hard is it for the design team to just scope their market and find out what we want? I'm not going to post the Sean O'Brien pic again, but that is the dream jersey.

Hagz · 13-06-2013 2:47pm

Screw it, I'm posting it.

Just look at it!

.ak · 13-06-2013 2:50pm

Yeah that's lovely. All our training tops seem to be fairly nice, if not nicer than the actual game jerseys.

Seanbass · 13-06-2013 2:59pm

yeah I like how basic the home one is. especially the loss of that annoying collar and rubber bra.

Still, being broke and all I think I might wait till next season and see what the next offering is like, hopefully a decent Addidas or Nike effort.

Not to worry, IRFU are broke as well, expect Burrda or Warrior gear.

I never really liked any of Nike's rugby gear, they seem to have ducked out of the sector.

Would be nice to see Leinster go to a modern take on a retro jersey, that training jersey above was always a beaut. I think Leicester have gone too far though, it will look very indistinct, odd when they only established the tiger stripes as a gimmick, and they looked grrrrrrrreat

Zzippy · 13-06-2013 3:21pm

Just browsing through jerseys on that worldrugbyshop site and came across possibly the funniest, fugliest jersey I've seen. I give you the lederhosen-inspired Austrian national jersey... http://www.worldrugbyshop.com/47695.html

:eek:

DDC1990 · 13-06-2013 4:17pm

Russian 7's Jersey is class.

Normal one is pretty good too IMO.

molloyjh · 13-06-2013 5:07pm

I actually quite like the current Leinster one with the harp on it. If you look at the Munster jerseys from the last few years for example they all look pretty much the same. Why the hell would you bother buying a new jersey if it doesn't look any different at all? That said the training jerseys the last few years have been pretty class. My favourite jerseys over the last few years are the HEC one from 2011, this seasons European one and the training jersey that wasn't available to buy but I still somehow got my hands on....:P

PaulyBolger · 17-06-2013 5:48pm

I think Leinster will push the boat out again and have something abstract like the jersey 2 years ago - maybe a play on blue magic?

When can we expect to see the provinces jerseys released? I really, really hope we release some half decent gear this time along with it, none of this US college style crap please kukri.

Kukri seem to like the jackson pollock type designs

I like their fit though.

PaulyBolger · 19-06-2013 8:32am

Leinster - Canterbury
Munster - Adidas
Connacht - BLK
Ulster - Kukri

Not quite Jerseys, but Leinster have released a load of new supporters gear, including these jackets...

LostArt · 19-06-2013 5:35pm

I love the jacket on the right, but €90 is steep!

trouttrout · 19-06-2013 5:36pm

One on the left is stink!

.ak · 19-06-2013 5:45pm

I actually like the one on the left!

awec · 19-06-2013 5:55pm

The one on the left would be better if the logo was actually a Leinster logo rather than that american college w**k that we are inundated with.

The one on the right would be better without the stupid pockets.

19-06-2013 5:57pm

They're both rank.

And Letterman Jackets should never be worn by anyone over the age of 18.

sydthebeat · 19-06-2013 7:15pm

The white button marks on the left ruin it, it would be 'ok' without it.

The other is simply meh

Barring the dodgy logo I quite like it.

did they not learn from the mistake Ireland made with that turquoise colour, those jerseys seemed to be on sale for years

Hagz · 27-06-2013 4:49pm

I think it's going to look lovely.

.ak · 27-06-2013 5:13pm

A lot of these kind of jerseys look far better on then off. Also bright colored jerseys make decent training jerseys, especially if you have a dark one to counter it for reps. The actual lay out is nice and if the main jersey is the same design but better colours it could be real nice....
