Harlequins release 150th anniversary jersey and it is Ye Olde fantastic

We'll take 10 please

Patrick McCarry

You can’t really go wrong with a Harlequins jersey but, for 2016/17, they have produced a jersey that is so, so right.

The upcoming season for Quins is their 150th and they have produced a new home jersey that is a nod to their very first piece of kit. With a modern twist, of course.

The original, muted colours are augmented by a bold sponsors logo and adidas markings.

Quins home jersey

To ram home the vintage message, Quins got two gentlemen in pin-striped suits and bowler hats – and some fake moustaches – to pose with the senior squad.

Quins old new

Jamie Roberts is WEARING that ‘tache.

As for the away jersey, well, they went nuts.

Home, good. Away, nay.
