LEINSTER HAVE THIS morning unveiled their new kits for the forthcoming season, which they’ll enter as defending champions in both the Guinness Pro14 and European Champions Cup.

“The jersey design takes inspiration from the people of Laighean, the name linking the ancient ancestors of the Leinster province to their expertise at throwing the Laighean, a green broad headed spear.
“This is represented on the famous blue jersey by a pattern of spearheads raining down — a bold look for the new kit. Tonal three stripes, collar and cuff are complemented by the contrasting Leinster crest on the left chest.

“Continuing the homage to the Leinster province, the Leinster Rugby alternate jersey for the season is a graphical representation of the 12 counties.
“The green and gold colours are direct call-outs from the provincial Leinster flag, once again tying into the history of the province as Leinster Rugby represents the 12 counties on the road.
“Linking into the home jersey and the people of Laighean, hundreds of spearheads are used to outline the individual counties in the pattern of the new alternate jersey.”
