New Kit 18/19 Season - Adidas

[domhnallj]

I could be in the market for one of the polos. Anyone got a clue what they're made of (cotton/poly/poly-cotton)? The description on the lifestyle page tells me nothing that my eyes can't already see.

[Triskaidekaphobia]

Is it just me - the prices on the lifestyle sports are lower now. e.g. the polo is €40 rather than 45, the black training jersey is €90 rather than €100, Beanie is €21rather than €25. Everything seems to have been dropped a bit. Maybe a discount on early sales or something?

Suspect you've been looking at the GB site so seeing sterling prices - https://www.lifestylesports.com/gb/leinster-rugby/

Change the country in the upper right and you'll see euro prices

The training gear looks decent, but very similar to the Munster gear. Obviously it's the same manufacturer, but I would have thought they would make a separation of design between clubs, but maybe not. Maybe the adidas gear is one uniform design that is just coloured to the specific team it represents. I seem to recall all the Super 14 teams having the same design jersey across the board.

The hike in prices is poor form, but hopefully it's an indication of the amount of money adidas are paying Leinster to be the manufacturer. Was the figure made public?

Suspect there's a bit of marketing tactics going on with some of that gear. The Jersey especially.

When the home jersey for supporters is released, it will look like a bargain by comparison! While still being 75 quid haha

[MelbourneRebel]

Any idea when we will see the jersey?

supposed to have been end of June for match Jerseys

I thought the jersey wasn't going to be released until August?

EDIT: It was the start of August last season, so I'd imagine it would be around the same time this season.

The training jersey that was released is the player fit jersey. It always costs €20-30 more. There will be a supporter fit one released later which will cost less.

It will be the same when the playing jersey is released, there will be a really tight one for about €100 and a supporter fit one for about €80.

Lifestyle said end of July for the training kit, start of August for the jerseys..

I saw a guy wearing one of the blue training jerseys yesterday in Kilkenny. No sign of them in sports shops so don’t know where he got it.

Nabbed it off one of his kids at the training camps?

Could be one of the development officers or something like that.

Announced in June, available for pre-order.
I haven't seen it in any shops as of yet, hence Lifestyle saying it will be released end of July...

Is it blue? With blue accents? Odd splash of gold maybe .. . .

Wonder what the theme they went for . . . .

Pretty disappointed there wasn't a double-winning t-shirt ready to go straight away to be proudly (and annoyingly) displayed all summer.
Remember after the second Heineken Cup win there were very cool t-shirts ready in time to be worn to Thomond Park the following weekend,
By the time we have anything decent it will be old news...

[desperado]

I made my own....

Very disappointing alright

When will we see the Adidas gear?

From the press release on May 1st on Leinster site -
"The new Leinster Rugby adidas training kit will be available to pre-order from mid-June from Leinster Rugby’s Official Retail Partner, Life Style Sports and the new home and alternate jersey will be launched in July."

Think we'll get to see the new jerseys this/next week? I haven't seen any promo stuff for them.
