british-and-irish-lions-since-1888-collection

Leading rugby brand, Canterbury, has unveiled its ‘Since 1888’ collection following their recent partnership with the British and Irish Lions as Official Apparel Partner for the 2017 New Zealand Tour.

The ‘Since 1888’ range takes inspiration from the birth of the ‘Lions’, or ‘The British Isles Rugby Union’ as they were known as in 1888.

The collection, which consists of four pieces, includes two long-sleeve rugby jerseys, featuring the original British and Irish Lions crest. Each jersey follows the original colour palette which has been replicated to stay true to the British and Irish Lions heritage. Both jerseys adorn traditional hoops influenced by past designs and are complemented by design features and detailing synonymous with Canterbury.

Whilst staying true to the original kits, Canterbury have also designed two short sleeve polo’s within the range featuring bold heritage hoops and a classic red polo. The hooped polo has the addition of green within the palette, which represents Ireland, who were not originally present at the time.
