Leinster unveil new home and alternative kits

The alternative kit is very... alternative

SportsJOE

The new alternative Leinster kit is sure to divide opinion.

If you were a fan of the old Leinster kit, you’ll certainly be fond of the new home one.

The new effort from Adidas isn’t too dissimilar from previous seasons, albeit with a few upgrades. The most noteworthy one is the addition of a fourth star above the crest. This has been added to symbolise their victorious Champions Cup campaign last season.

On closer inspection, you’ll notice a couple of nice new details. The blue jersey has a pattern of spearheads raining down the torso.

The alternative jersey is very different. The first thing you will notice is the colour.

It’s green and gold. This is, of course, paying homage to Leinster’s provincial flag. Just like the home jersey, it also features spearheads which represent the counties in the province. It derives from Laighean, a green broad-headed spear used back in the olden times.

Both jerseys are available to pre-order exclusively from Life Style Sports stores and at lifestylesports.com now.
