Leinster seriously challenging Munster for best home jersey after official kit launch

Two beauties

Close call.

So that’s that – all four provinces have no revealed their home jerseys for 2015/16.

Leinster were the final province to show their hand. The official launch, by Canterbury, took place on social media, shortly after midday.

As flagged in leaked pictures last month, Leinster will sport a predominantly blue jersey that features Canterbury’s dipping collar and thick white stripes across the shoulders.

Interestingly, Leinster have gone for navy shorts. It is a departure from their all-blue effort last season.

It should prove very popular with the Blues’ supporters.

The away jersey is pretty damn nifty too, even if the lads don’t look too delighted.

Munster fans have a strong argument for the best home jersey but Leinster’s latest piece of kit pushes it close.

Another thing to debate about down in the pub, and at matches in Thomond Park and the RDS next season.

*To celebrate the launch of the new 2015/16 season jerseys, Canterbury have asked fans to prove why they are Leinster’s most committed fan on Canterbury’s Facebook page or by tweeting using #CommittedToLeinster.
