Rugby World cup 2015 Jersies

Bit of a let down in my opinion. After seeing the detail and stuff in jerseys like the Scots and that I was expecting something more than just a plain drab green jersey.

.ak · 14-07-2015 11:05am

Yeah, even some white patterns on it would be nice. There's a cool pattern up the oblique area, they could've made that white or something to give it a bit of definition or something.

Still, I do like plain jerseys, so I'd buy if it I was looking for one. Don't like those loopy collars CCC are using tho... unless you're a bodybuilder or pro athlete they just look ridiculous.

Hagz · 14-07-2015 11:08am

The old school collar was so nice I was hoping they'd stick with it.

Teferi · 14-07-2015 11:27am

Mank and plain. The alternate is decent enough, I'll take a gander at it in the flesh and probably pick it up.

I thought it looked like an afterthought, too flimsy to look neat up or down, glad its gone.

Larbre34 · 14-07-2015 11:36am

Alternate kit looks like old Connacht gear.

yeah I liked the idea, but it looked rubbish in the flesh... The English version was much better. Weird that they made two versions....

I don't get the point of the alternate one. The only time we're likely to wear it is if we have to play South Africa and even then their green is so dark it's nearer to black than to our normal green.

Very disappointed

I though by alternate its was a third strip which is utterly pointless but theres no white strip by the looks of it and you don't really call your 2nd strip an "away" strip for international rugby.

Looks decent , we've worn black against the Saffa's before and there's no colour clash.

New Zealand play against South Africa regularly in black, the World 15 played in black against them at the weekend there. It's not a clash, as such, but I do remember us wearing black against them in an Autumn test, maybe 3 years ago, and it was at times difficult to tell them apart, particularly when there was a few players from each team milling around each other.

My only point really is that South Africa are the only other team that wears green and it's so different from our green that we'd be fine just wearing the green.

Australia are the only other team as unlikely as ourselves to need an alternate kit but they still have one, as outlined above, it's all about the money.

EDIT - I suppose the referee needs two different colours for when he's shouting at them. "Roll away green!" could be very confusing.

.ak · 14-07-2015 1:35pm

I reckon they'll use the alt strip atleast once in the pool games just for marketing reasons to sell a few jerseys.

It is a nice jersey, the alt one, in fairness.

awec · 14-07-2015 1:36pm

They both look like training tops.

Peregrine · 14-07-2015 1:39pm

Oh, it was early! I was only expecting it at "around lunchtime".

I'm disappointed too, if I'm honest. I don't have a classic jersey so I might get that. Maybe the alt jersey.

.ak · 14-07-2015 1:43pm

Looks alright if you stand infront of a green shipping container.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 14-07-2015 1:44pm

Proper pictures of the players wearing them coming out now. Pretty snug looking fit.

Peregrine · 14-07-2015 1:46pm

SOB looks like the Hulk

F34 · 14-07-2015 1:46pm

Don't like the neck line on it and is it just me or does €80 odd sound like mental money for one. Elverys are 88 and lifestyle are 80

Test jerseys have to be now. Stops it being a handle for people to tackle you with.

Yea but these look even tighter than any of the previous jerseys. Think this is the first that's tight enough to put nipples and muscle contours on display.

dub_skav · 14-07-2015 2:08pm

I look forward to Canterbury's new line in tit tape

Ha.

More to do with the material... it's the same stuff they make their vapodri shirts from, it's really flexible stuff so contours easily if tight.

awec · 14-07-2015 2:17pm

Hairy lads are going to have to get a wax. Won't want body hair blurring their defined muscle tone in that jersey.

.ak · 14-07-2015 2:18pm

Yeah.... Hair....

OMG that is so photoshopped, jersyes are no way that tight! :P
Any chance to see what it looks like on someone with a keg rather than a six-pack?!

paddy ocon · 14-07-2015 3:18pm

Just a few notes for you guys...

What you see on the players are the official test jerseys which will retail at 150 huge amount of technical aspects

The pro jersey which you can buy in shops wont be that tight. They are made from polyester but wont be skin tight but fitted.

You can also buy the retro classic cotton jerseys for those of you who fear your beer bellys......

the replica jersey come with the rwc 2015 badge and without. Those without will have the 3 logo...

thebaz · 14-07-2015 4:22pm

reminds me of my old school jersey -

on a more serious note - the arms on Kearney & SOB -

Aaron- · 14-07-2015 4:40pm

It's definitely a bit plain, especially when you compare it to the likes of Scotland and Fiji...

Yeah 80 for Jersey few hundred for the gym before I put it on

Ha they are a bit plain but I will wait till I see one up close will probably pick one up anyway

andymx11 · 14-07-2015 4:53pm

The test jersey only comes in size large? Is it a one size fits all job? I'm usually a size small in the regular jersey.

AFAIK large is very small in test jerseys. Scrumhalves generally wear large...

IMO the test jerseys are a bit pointless, the jerseys the guys wear are usually laser tailored, that's why the fit so well.

awec · 14-07-2015 5:02pm

I would not recommend buying a test jersey. They are not designed to be worn for a long period of time.

They don't stretch at all (feels like you're wearing really thin cardboard that doesn't tear) so are difficult to get in and out of. You'll sweat in them a lot (they aren't really breathable) and they also are really tight so sitting down you'll feel a lot of compression around your chest and stomach.

Cool thanks- yea it seems really pointless although they have only made 2015 of them, so really I'd be mad NOT to buy one!!

paddy ocon · 14-07-2015 5:07pm

yes the test jersey is more of a commemorative jersey or a limited collectors piece.

I preferred last season's with the slightly diagonal stripes.

pickarooney · 14-07-2015 8:33pm

Why do they still have IRB on the RWC logo?

jamesbondings · 14-07-2015 8:46pm

and ONLY 55 squids!?

By a long long way. Away one is the bomb

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 14-07-2015 10:41pm

Argentina looks like a blue version of the Japan one.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 14-07-2015 10:56pm

You can get the new Ireland one for €69 through Lifestyle if you order it online, it's got the massive 3 logo on it though.

awec · 14-07-2015 11:07pm

Can you use your Leinster ST discount in Lifestyle over the summer or is that just a during the season thing?

The last Lions jersey is a b***h for that. Solid band across the chest with zero stretch.

The CCC ones are far more workable for every day but still hugely far from ideal for wearing for medium periods.

The alt Pumas jersey is class.

Really loving the Japanese jersey tho... I love the fact they've done something with the traditional hoops... Hoops is the one thing that annoys me about jerseys, I'd love it if our Jersey (Clontarf) was updated a bit like that, but it seems changing hoops is sacrilegious in old rugby circles (ha!)...

Heard somewhere that the change to World Rugby happened too late from a branding/printing point of view, so they just left it be.

Sure it's still on the website too
