SportsJOE

Shades of green. Shades of quality.

The new Connacht Rugby jersey is good. Real good.

In partnership with BLK Sport, the province launched the new home kit ahead of the 2018/19 season and they’ve both done a pretty decent job.

It’s made with BLK’s exclusive Exotek fabric throughout the main body bound with reinforced cover stitch and lycra paneling.

The jersey maintains its traditional Connacht green look and feel with the introduction of horizontal tonal green and fluro lines, and with fluro piping detailing inspired by the “Grassroots to Green Shirts” vision of Connacht Rugby. The jersey also features a unique silicon gel logo application and fluro green Connacht branding on the lower back.

The Connacht team will wear the jersey for the first time at the preseason fixtures away to Brive on August 10 and at home to Wasps at Dubarry Park, Athlone on August 18th.

 

The new home jersey and training range are exclusively available at Intersport Elverys and online at www.elverys.ie from Friday 3rdAugust at 10am.

They also have a new Bank of Ireland sponsor at the back alongside Top Oil with Connacht Hotel on the collar.

Given how it longs, it won’t stay on the shelves too long.
