Family Crests Feature On Munster Jersey

Last Friday evening’s Munster v London Irish game saw 23 lucky Munster supporters represented on the field with their family crests worn on the sleeve of each Munster player.

The competition was run through Munster’s official retail partner, Life Style Sports, to celebrate the launch of the new adidas Munster home and alternate kits. As well as having their family crests embroidered onto the sleeve of each player’s jersey, following the full-time whistle, each winner was presented with the game jersey from their nominated player.

The new adidas home jersey (below) embodies a deeper, enriched mix of power and collegiate red and features the names of the six Munster counties on the nape of the collar with the club motto, ‘To the Brave and Faithful Nothing is Impossible’ embroidered into the inside neck of the jersey.

The new adidas alternate jersey (below) takes a more modern approach to the provincial tartan with black, dark grey and onix colouring standing bold against the bright red of the logos and jersey numbering. As per the home jersey, the alternate kit also features the club motto in the nape of the military style collar along with the names of the six Munster counties.

The home and alternate kits are available to purchase now from all Life Style Sports stores and online at www.lifestylesports.com
