MUNSTER RUGBY HAVE unveiled the home kit they will wear for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons.
Once again manufactured by Adidas and sponsored by Bank of Ireland, the red jersey will be worn by a senior team for the first time when Munster’s women face Ulster on Saturday, 28 August.
The men’s team will then don it in their first pre-season game against Bath on Saturday, 4 September.
It is available to buy from 19 August, while Munster’s European and alternate kits remain the same for this season.

Hideous.
In a time where sports teams change kits like the seasons (literally and figuratively), on top of having 3 or 4 to pick from, I think this is a great touch to run one kit for 2 seasons. Fans who like to have their club’s most up to date jersey can pocket the already fairly ludicrous €70-80+ they would be paying for another year.
@Ultan Corcoran: they rotate each year, next season it’ll be a new European kit.
@Ultan Corcoran: Well said, a great touch from munster. A 2 season shirt shows a touch of respect to the fans especially those with kids.
I hope leinster do the same with their new shirt.
@Chris Mc: Exactly yeah and although they’re not unaffordable, they still aren’t getting any cheaper these days. Should be put in place for one kit with all sports teams imo, be it GAA, Soccer, or Rugby. Just seems impossible seeing as merch/kits is such a big part of the financial turnover and advertisement for clubs.
@Chris Mc: Just don’t buy a shirt every year or get one from DH Gate. Never understand why anyone – especially adults – feel they need to buy all the new shirts. I guess that’s what real fans do. Fork out 90 euro for every new shirt. Unless you’ve ballooned in weight there’s zero reason why a jersey from 2010 can’t be worn.
@Ricky Wright: true. I still have my connacht 1997/1998 season jersey, sponsored then by Cara for Compaq. Had a few since too, but that one’s special. The 1st of the replica kits, the game had just gone semi professional.
I actually really like this. See a lot of negative stuff about it bit it’s the best in 5 or 6 years easy for me
@Dara (Alex): Exactly. It’s a decent effort. Not sure why so many people are unhappy with it.
@mcdb06: cuz there’s no pleasing some people
Bring back cotton rugby jerseys with collars instead of this sh!te.
@Jonathan Regan: you can usually purchase the cotton (boomer) collar option on the website for a lower price.
Looks a lot better than the previous home jersey for sure.
Has de Allende being playing better for South Africa than be ever has for Munster?
@Mick O’Shea: ever in his one season?
@Dave O Keeffe: Yes, it’s a question. What did you and your 22 followers not understand?
@Mick O’Shea: no, he was brilliant for Munster all year. Best 12 in the Pro 14 (or URC or whatever it’s called now)
@Emmet Martin: what, are you his cousin? Munster’s track record says he wasn’t putting in as big a shift as he could have.
@Mick O’Shea: what are you… his bemoaning mother in law? the track record has nothing to do with the other 14 players on the field?
Cant wait to try to buy some of the new gear in Lifestyle only to discover they only have xx small in everything.
Is it the year of horrible jerseys, nearly as bad as connachts
@Al Byrne: I think it looks well. The blue trim is reminiscent of the 2008 kit
@Al Byrne: Connacht’s is nowhere near as bad, BLK are far more consistent with their designs and way less bland/identikit as CCC or Adidas…
2 years are great idea. However, the jerseys are cheep for Munster and Leinster. The crests are iron ons, as is the sponsor. Make them like the all blacks 09 jersey embroidered crests and sponsor logo built into the jerseys fabric using a dye so they can be washed with all the other clothes.
Bank of Ireland sponsors? Surprised it’s not the ABSA Group!!! Looks like something out of Dealz…
What’s the away one like…
@Kenneth O’ Connor: same as last year unchanged, mentioned above in the article.
Nay lads it’s not nice sorry
It’s a jersey that wants to be a jumper. Still, better than previous seasons efforts.
Every season teams bring out new jerseys and every season loads of people complain. You guys know you dont have to buy them right? Stadiums dont have a dress code.
