This is what appears to be the new Lions rugby shirt 2017, the top to be worn by the British & Irish Lions on next year’s tour of New Zealand. The shirt, made by Canterbury, was officially launched on November 1, 2016 but leaks of the jersey did find their way onto social media before the release
Standard Life Investments will be principal jersey sponsors for the British Lions on their 2017 tour.
As always with Canterbury, the jersey is available in three versions- classic, pro and test.
Buy the new British & Irish Lions jersey online at Lovell Rugby
Or shop for the shirt at reputed Irish retailers Life Style Sports
The top can also be purchased from Australian merchants Fangear.com
The Lions wore Adidas in their 2013 tour of Australia, but agreed a new deal with Canterbury to replace the German giant.
Looks like a Liverpool shirt :-S
same old same old.. but nice..
Checked it out today, Canterbury what have you done? Weird little collar that doesn’t fold down properly and if you stand it up comes up too high and the little bit of elastic at the opening of the collar looks really odd. Stitched panel across shoulders feels like two tops sewn together as opposed to one whole piece of material. The cuffs on the bottom of the sleeves feel odd.
The biggest issue for me is the crest. Nowhere near as detailed as previous Adidas badges (the Welsh three feathers looks poor) and having ‘Since 1888’ means nothing, it should read ‘New Zealand 2017’.
Unimpressed and will be wearing 2013 shirt and old school Cotton Trader shirt instead
sorry, it’s awful!
