Heritage rugby brand Canterbury of New Zealand has unveiled the new British and Irish Lions jersey.
Former British and Irish Lions captain, Sam Warburton, was brought in to consult on the design and advise on player requirements alongside highly covert on-field testing for durability and performance.
The kit’s first outing by The British and Irish Lions will be in Dublin, as Andy Farrell’s side play a historic match against Argentina at Aviva Stadium on Friday, June 20th next year before departing for Australia.
The first test will begin on Saturday, July 19th, at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will host the second test on Saturday, July 26th.

In preparation for the first test, the Lions will face an invitational Australian and New Zealand team at the Adelaide Oval, while the Tour will also include pre-test fixtures in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne.
