This year’s kit design is inspired by items found all over the island of Ireland. Modern, crisp vector shapes combine with flowing graphics that mimic the natural environment and represent the energy of a strong, united team.
Irish rugby player and Ambassador of Canterbury, Robbie henshaw commented,
“Canterbury has once again produced an incredibly comfortable, functional and stylish kit. I can’t wait to wear the jersey in front of thousands of fans at Aviva Stadium later this year.
The home shirt pairs a classic green with an eye-catching vector pattern on the sleeves and sides, while the alternate shirt is defined by an invigorating purple and jet black colourway and a striking pattern.
The all new Irish rugby jersey is one of the most advanced and durable to date. The Test jersey is made from partially recycled fabric, while the main body of the pro jersey is made from 100% recycled polyester. The jersey also features Canterbury’s strongest neckline, which was first featured on the British and Irish Lion’s Test jersey this summer.
Players demand comfort, performance and strength from their equipment to perform at their best. The new jersey has been expertly designed and tested with its signature lightweight, breathable Vapodri + fabric and adaptive sweat-wicking technology to keep players comfortable and allow them to focus fully on the game. Offset raglan sleeve flexes effortless, providing maximum flexibility when passing the ball, and a lowered underarm seam reduces irritation, reducing distractions during play. The jersey is ready for Ireland to face any team that comes together. present.
Canterbury’s latest kit is the product of a truly global innovation, design and testing process bringing together experts from across Ireland, the UK and New Zealand into one team without borders.
Despite the global pandemic, Canterbury’s support for men’s, women’s and minor rugby is unwavering. This new kit was designed in consultation with the Ireland Women’s Team, with their feedback built into the design. The kit underwent extensive testing in New Zealand throughout 2020, when it was not possible to test them in Ireland.
The launch of the home and alternative jerseys follows the launch of the new Ireland training and support range earlier this month – high performance technical clothing for training in the elements paired with comfortable, high-quality clothing designed for the stand or the sofa.
