New kit.
Canterbury, the official kit partner of Irish Rugby, unveiled the new home and alternate jerseys that will be worn during Ireland’s 2024/25 campaign. The jerseys, along with a diverse and extensive range of training and supporter clothing range, are available via Intersports Elverys, in-store and on Elverys.ie, and on Canterbury.com, with prices starting from £60 (€70).
The bold design takes inspiration from the textures of the Emerald Isle, with Canterbury weaving in homages to Irish landscapes throughout the jersey. Nods to Benbulben, Giants Causeway and Cliffs of Moher can be seen, with Canterbury opting for a deeper ’emerald green’ colour to the jersey.
The cadmium green detail on the shoulder print symbolises the mineral markings found in Ireland, while the jersey’s white paneling is reminiscent of Ireland’s 2005/06 jersey, reflecting fan preferences.
Boasting VapoDri+ adaptive and quick-drying technology, a bonded, elastic and flatlocked collar for strength, laser-cut holes for breathability, silicone logos and curved form for comfort and made from 100% recycled polyester, the jersey is the most technologically advanced ever produced by Canterbury.
Simon Rowe, SVP Sports Marketing/ Sponsorship at Canterbury of New Zealand, commented:
“The 2024/25 Ireland kit, designed by Canterbury, in collaboration with the IRFU, pays tribute to the unique beauty of the Irish landscape. The textures of the Emerald Isle are intricately woven throughout the jersey, showcasing the creative innovation of the teams involved.
“The jersey combines beauty with functionality, featuring cutting edge design and premium materials to ensure that the players are able to express themselves on the pitch with comfort. It’s another momentous year for Irish rugby, with both the men and women’s teams building on recent successes. We are excited to see this momentum continuing in their new kit.”
The new Ireland 2024/25 kit, manufactured by Canterbury of New Zealand, can be purchased via: Elverys.ie and Canterbury.com.
Prices start from £60 (€70).
