Happy enough, the 1st shirt is very white; the 2nd shirt isn't red or black.

I'm sure things can be manufactured, but in the normal run of things, we'll not need the blue one except for Zebre, and possibly ST.

According to UR site, the team will be wearing the "cyan" blue shirt in the Leinster and Edinburgh pre-season games.

Anyone else (who got the email) notice what number Cave had on the back of his away shirt?

It wasn't 13...

Correct - Jared had 13 (on the white shirt)

Darren was in 12, and Hendo was in ......

I completely and sincerely hate that focking god awful tom kite UR logo. I also hate those tom kite collarless shirts.

I'm looking into getting a replica of the old '99 (or even before) white shirt, decent collar with traditional red hand. My '98/99 Canterbury was retired and framed after the Sarries QF at Ravers. I'll update on my progress.

It still has the remnants (kebabs and stout) of manys a great trip but she was no longer fit for wearing, or rather washing, God rest her soul.

I have only one area of concern re the new khit for sale.

There seems to be words around the UR crest on the trackies. Please tell me they're not stupid words!

For whom? I dare say Kingspan think it very pretty.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Kingspan's marketing people need to have a look at themselves. They have clearly attached themselves firmly to UR with the stadium and kit deals, but the gold logo does not work against a white background and even the supersize text cannot be distinguished very well from one end of that silly catwalk to the other.

I'm so glad I didn't go near this god awful looking event. Like BR I hope that there arent silly words on the trackies but I bet there were silly words coming out of those poor players mouths yesterday! stuff about how Kukri shirts give them the edge over the competition and the super duper insulation in their homes help them recover and prepare in optimum conditions?

The new jerseys look pretty good. Price is always exorbitant though especially when you can pick up a 14/15 jersey for £10 now.

I think the shirt looks rightly on the players and that I don't have a massive issue with the kingspan logo either.

That said they generally look quite terrible on anyone who is not built like a pro rugby player. Skinny chaps arms like drain pipes in the arms, fat fella's bellies testing kukri's stiching to the limit etc.

But hey I'm probably wrong, it's what the people want?
