AS SEEN on Ireland’s tour to South Africa and officially launched this week by Robbie Henshaw, the new Irish Rugby jersey is the most innovative and technically advanced rugby jersey ever worn by an Irish rugby team.
Available in traditional green, featuring impeccable detail and contemporary touches, the new jersey tasted success when Ireland scored an historic win over South Africa during the summer tour.
With a commitment to continuous improvement, Canterbury’s innovation team, The Canterbury Lab, has worked closely with members of the Irish rugby team and management to ensure luck plays no part when it comes to the equipment used by the team.
With the Irish Rugby Team meticulous in their pre-game preparations, players on the pitch will benefit from a range of innovations, including reduced fabrication weight, minimising moisture absorption for Canterbury’s most lightweight kit ever. Developed through position-specific 3D body-mapping the new jersey offers a super enhanced fit catering for the varied physiques of the modern rugby player. Adaptive fabrication with dynamic heat management properties ensures a constant temperature is maintained in any climate and Canterbury’s toughest 360° loop bound neckline with enhanced elasticity and shape retention has been designed to withstand the toughest of challenges.
Supporters can choose from the “Pro” jersey which retains the look of the jersey that will be worn by the team, while offering a more comfortable fit as well as a “Classic” jersey that offers a contemporary design on the classic collared rugby jersey.
The jersey launch signifies the start of Canterbury’s Not Luck. Only Commitment. campaign which brings to life the Irish Rugby Team’s Commitment to the game as they leave nothing to luck in their pursuit of glory. Through a number of activities including the “Henshaw Hardway” training session, Irish Rugby fans can experience the commitment shown by the Irish Rugby Team.
