    Nice Connacht jerseys and the Munster away looks nice too but would like to see it in the flesh not the artistic press release

    The Heineken Cup jersey will be unveiled next week.

    Does Ulster have a blue/blue & white one too? There's a bit of a trend here ;)

    No, our 2nd kit is black and there is a red one too somewhere that we hardly ever wear.

    The Connacht home jersey is very nice indeed. The Mazda logo fits in well.

    Let us not forget that blue and white is the actual colour of the Connacht provincial flag

    It looks like a nice Peugeot. That's about it.

    Anyone tried on the new Ireland jersey? Tries one there yesterday and its a God awful fit. I've no idea how they can keep making such a total balls of the jerseys!


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


    I'm hoping BLK get the contract now!

    Too tight?

    No, the fit is just really strange. It feels like its being pulled down at the back. Around the stomach is quite loose while the chest is tight. The whole thing just feels wrong on.

    I don't know, it looks a little tight and plastic like, can imagine it being a strange fit.

    Suppose to each their own, but I think it's a lovely design. Nicest of all the Irish jerseys anyway. Looks a good fit on the player pics.

    Its really hard to say with these things until you see the fit and the material. Haven't seen any of the new irish jerseys myself.

    Although according to a friend the leinster jerseys are selling at a rate he's never seen before.

    Have to say the Leinster jersey is the nicest fitting jersey I've ever worn. It's straight, not baggy, and is tight around the chest/arms so it fits real nice. I'm buying one and I don't even really like the design, it's just by far the best fitting 'fan' jersey I've ever worn.

    Yeah the fit is excellent. It's really comfortable. Can't remember when I last said that about a jersey.

    tried it on even though i've no interest in buying it, it is quite simply the worst fitting jersey ever. The fit around the arms is loose, it's way too tight on my chest and loose around the stomach

    Here is the NZ Maori jersey. I think it's cool that they've incorporated Maori designs. Too much noise with the AIG logo though. What think ye?

    That's lovely. Altho I'm just not a fan of these shoulder-patches Adidas are using.

    Yeah I quite like the 3 stripes on the shoulders, but I agree the patches are a bit "80s".

    We're all like old ladies discussing knitting patterns over a cup of tea and piece of shortbread at the moment.

    At least there is the Rugby Championship this coming weekend, but otherwise the silly season continues in the North!

    Not 2013/14 jersey but I know there are a few Clermont-heads here.

    11/12 Jersey (no sponsor) for £20 + shipping. They aren't exactly common to see in the shops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,374 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    It certainly is silly season, turned over to the middle of highlights of Gloucester v Falcons last night on ITV, took me a good 5 minutes to cop it was a 7's game....

    What problems does Earls have? Other than being in the middle of a fairly unfortunate sandwich in that photo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,221 ✭✭✭Ugo Monye spacecraft experience


    also, Zebo and Murray have a very glazed over look on their eyes, as if they've seen "things"

    I'd say Keef is slightly worried that his shadow seems to be Andrew Conway!

    Something really creepy about that pic. Looks like something from the Dark Crystal or some other trippy Frank Oz movie.
