Canterbury Unveils Latest British & Irish Lions Pro Jersey

Canterbury today unveiled the latest British & Irish Lions Pro jersey ahead of the Tour of South Africa in 2021.

With the Lions squad recognised as being made up of the best of the best, the iconic red jersey’s new design features a striking graphic on the shoulders, comprising a multitude of individual pieces which come together to form the image of a lion.

Symbolising the origins of the players and those who have helped them to reach the pinnacle of the game, each piece pays homage to every teammate, club coach, family member and friend who helped them along the way.

The Pro jersey is the Lions’ most sustainable ever, with the main body made up of 100% recycled polyester and is available in men's, women's and junior sizes.

Simon Rowe, Global Head of Sports Marketing, at Canterbury, said, “Becoming a Lion takes hard work and dedication and is the pinnacle of a player’s rugby career. In designing this jersey, we looked deeper into what it takes to reach that elite level and what becomes clear is that they didn’t get to the top on their own. Throughout their journey they have had the support of many mentors and advocates - from the parents and family who ferried them around as children to the coaches who harnessed and finessed their games - and we wanted to celebrate those often-unsung heroes. Our Origin Lion graphic is our tribute to them ... We can’t wait to hopefully see supporters gathering again in the jersey as we cheer the Lions on in South Africa”

Canterbury has put together the Lions’ largest ever range of training and off-field supporter wear, with a total of 112 items available across various price points. The range also includes three times as many women's products as ever before and its biggest ever junior product range.

The Canterbury British & Irish Lions Pro jersey costs £75.00 (adults) and £55.00 (junior).
