6. Ireland
The home kit is a classic look for Ireland, the bold striking green base colour is instantly recognisable as the boys from the Emerald Isle. The green and white striped arm cuffs and collar are a nice tough, adding a bit of variety to an otherwise tried and tested strip. Ireland fans will hope that this kit will be immortalised as the one forever associated with their first ever Rugby World Cup triumph.
The away kit may grow on fans with time. The white kit with green and black cuffs just doesn’t have the same impact as the home jersey when presented side-by-side. The away strip looks like a football (soccer) jersey, with the textured ‘invisible’ pattern and bright green canterbury logo.
7. Leicester Tigers (Home)
Leicester Tigers have released their home kit, for the 2023/24 Premiership season. This jersey has the potential to divide the fanbase, with supporters calling it a ‘marmite’ kit – you either love it, or hate it. Harkening back to the light green Leicester Tigers jerseys of the late 90s, this kit comes brimming with nostalgia, that has been taken into the new generation.
The white and red middle stripes are another call back to the Premiership title dominance of yester-year, with the cool cut up shapes bridging the gap into the modern era. Also, the geometric tiger coming across the shoulder and chest, looks like a warrior’s tattoo and defines this year’s kit.
