Ulster Rugby v Leicester Tigers

2018/19 EUROPEAN KIT LAUNCHED

This evening marks the opening round of the Heineken Champions Cup; which is also the first opportunity the squad have had to line out in their new European kit.

Fiona Hampton, Head of Sales & Marketing, Ulster Rugby added: “We’ve been working closely with the Kukri Sports design team over the past year to produce an innovative kit that looks great and embraces the newest technology to ensure it performs to the high standard required at this level. “We launched a bespoke European jersey for the first time in 2016, with great success, and once again the team will play its Heineken Champions Cup fixtures in this European jersey. Feedback from the players has been excellent and they are excited to have a dedicated jersey that pays homage to that special atmosphere that Champions Cup rugby generates. We really hope the fans love it too, so we are looking forward to hearing their views and seeing them wear it as we start into our European campaign.”

The shirt features a new half stand collar which fits closer to the neck, new side panels and gripper print on the torso. It is a tighter fit with new fabric designed to sit closer to the body. In keeping with Ulster’s tradition of minimalist designs, the shirt is modern and fresh, using red as a base colour with hints of black and tonal red to keep the design subtle. Terry Jackson, General Manager, Kukri Sports Ireland said: “The new sleek design and technological advances in fabrics make for a contemporary, striking shirt and we can’t wait to reveal it to the Ulster fans. The new training and leisure wear has been well received by the players and fans and we look forward to continuing to develop a fantastic, innovative retail range of merchandise the club and fans can be proud of.”
