Old Leinster Jerseys

[hugonaut]

Pretty much off topic, but I was at a match in Lansdowne in the distant past where Niall Hogan [at the time, scrum-half for Leinster] punched Richie Collins [the baldy mustachioed Cardiff and Wales openside] for slapping the ball out of his hand while he was putting it into a scrum. Priceless at the time, because while Collins wasn't a giant, Hogie was – and is – pretty much a midget. Alan MacGowan was outhalf that day and kicked a rake of kicks ... I had always thought it was the first HEC semi-final, but I just checked the team-sheet and Hogie wasn't even playing!

Obviously my memory is f*cked, but does anybody remember which match that was – Leinster vs Cardiff, 15-17 years ago [Jesus, that's a long time ago]. What competition would it have been in, if not the HEC?

What ever happened to those green jerseys they used when we played Queensland two seasons ago, now if someone has one of those i'd be impressed!

Never made public sale AFAIK - was part of 'Green day' - player issue only.

Have the Orange BOSI away jersey from 2003 (?) - now that is class

Don't remember an orange one, did we use it much?

It was rank - you may have wiped it from your memory and with valid reason. Also, think it was technically "yellow" the inverse of the standard blue one with yellow stripes - that one with the old logo - 05/06 I think.

Watch out for the mullet in the 2nd cut.
Sheer mank ok. Gank even! (The jersey that is)

The vid is stirring stuff though. Brings a lump to one's throat. Several members of my family have been known to shed a tear.

Thats the one, think its a different shade of green but its the same design as the old Ireland shirt.

I would have thought it made you feel like an Aussie with that colouring on it.

Two World Cups etc etc.....

I loved and have the yellow one

[[Jackass]]

I loved and have the yellow one

Is it messed up that I always loved that jersey??

My favourite official jersey was alway this:


But I don't wear it any more in favour of my all time favourite piece of Leinster wear, last seasons training jersey:


That'll take some replacing!! I like having the blue and yellow on the jersey..

having said that, I also really like the "away" training jersey, but don't have it (but would like to get it):

Was 77 euro. IMO a bit over the top for a one off jersey that will be confused for an old Irish jersey.

[apple sourz]

Yeah I'm looking for the first one with Bank of Scotland on it, around 2002 or so I think.

Blue/White striped?. . . my overall all time favourite I think. . .. thats not for sale either

Yeah thats the one! I have the away one from then, similar design, but with more white and yellow sleeves

There's one for sale at the moment on Ebay claiming to be an original squad jersey........ looking at it, I have my doubts.
