THE PRO12 END of year awards ceremony was on in Dublin last night, and Edinburgh scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne was in town to accept the Young Player of the Year statue.
Being Scottish, his natural instinct was probably to kilt up but given that it is Ireland in May, the possibility of an impromptu monsoon caused him to improvise.
Higalgo-Clyne managed to capture the tartan essence of the kilt and seamlessly transport it into a traditional pair of trousers. A bigger achievement than Young Player of the Year, really…
The thinking man’s kilt is much better for people who are worried about accidentally sitting on a beanbag chair and exposing themselves to a room full of people. This could be Hidalgo-Clyne’s real legacy, forget all that rugby stuff.
quite like the old crown paints jersey
@sams theman: the adidas Carlsberg sponsored jersey should be modernized and made as are home kit that kit scared away teams it was raw
That keeper kit is fantastic
Meet the new jersey, same as the old jersey!
It’s not bad. I don’t like the way the sponsor logo is white and the crest and NB logo is yellow/gold. Looks strange. It clashes a bit. All white for me id prefer. Anywho. Looks to be last year with new balance. Massive money nike deal looks to be coming. Which is good. Having the same jersey as all nike sponsored teams….. not so good.
@Seaniecp: Bring back Adidas and the three stripes!
@Seaniecp: the sponsor logo is far too high
@Jack Ryan: new balance jerseys have been top notch
@Colm Connolly: ya I guess it is really
Paisley-era shirts were all v-neck. This isn’t. #Fail
@Brendan Moriarty: in fairness they do say it’s inspired by the jersey not copied
@Brendan Moriarty: He would of been 100 this year, read into it .
Can’t wait to see what monstrosities NB have planned for this terms away shirts
No level of mawkish sentimentality is high enough for this crowd…

@Joe O’riordan: delicious salty tears
@Joe O’riordan: it’s called tradition.
@Joe O’riordan: Spurs new stadium, beautiful, Hazard to Madrid beautiful, Chelsea cash nipple run dry, bea…..
It looks OK to me, very like the one from last year (which I loved), but with the pinstripes now white. That goalie jersey should have been the away kit IMO.
