THOUGH WE’RE STILL to see it for real in official outlets, this is apparently Leinster’s new jersey for the forthcoming 2013/14 campaign.
While the old shirt is currently available at a knock-down price of €26, earlier today, this picture of the royal blue number complete with three stars, five Bank of Ireland logos and four stripes appeared via Slipper1 on the Leinster Fans forum, Babbling Brook.
There’s a lot going on there.

The boys in UCD are clearly comfortable enough with their appearance to accept the potentially unflattering horizontal stripe. Either that or new coach Matt O’Connor just wanted a little taste of Leicester at his new home.
But it doesn’t matter what we think of it, will you Leinster fans be wearing it come September?
As sponsor/overlords – Bank of Ireland didn’t like the look of the 3 gold stars just sitting there doing nothing on the jersey so they decided to put the 3 gold stars into a money market mutual fund that will reinvest the earnings into foreign currency accounts with compounding interest aaand its gone…..
It’s such as shame, someone should be sacked for this. Who ever approved this should be taped to a flag pole in the RDS and let each off us give him a kick in the goolies as we walk into the grounds
BOI sponsor Munster, Leinster and Ulster now
Cant judge until someones wearing it
Ah finally I cam get hold of the nice(r) old jersey €26 is a steal. Just need to lose 2 stone and suck the ned and man tits in then and all set.
There rank!! What was wrong with the old ones..
Seriously made a balls of this lads. Lets hope the away shirt is better.
I count 6 Bank of Ireland symbols on it. I hear there’s another 7 on the back.
Where are BOI getting all the mullah to sponsor THREE rugby provinces ??!!!
From your taxes.
Don’t buy the jersey. Boycott it.
Ignore popeye he is just a bitter troll, never has anything good to say just trolls the whole time, just leave him be give him a red thumb and ignore him, he’s not worth wasting your time on(oxygen thief)
Rugby… The Brokeback Mountain of the sporting world
Critically acclaimed? Littered with brilliant performances?
The Crying Game then
Written and directed by Neil Jordan? Work harder on your little analogies.
Looks more of a soccer top !
No collars ??????
What! No silver star!!!!
Shite
As good as the Liverpool (turd)3rd jersey. Nuff said. I wonder does this years jersey come in man size too, not just paint on one size fits none.
No
Well at least it’s not pink! I’ve seen worse.
Connacht pulled off the Pink and Purple! Unreal jersey
Shades of Stade with that shirt, twas epic in fairness, slap on the silhouette of an eagle and Bobs your uncle.
Lonster trying to pretend its an Adidas jersey like the ones real champions wear – All Blacks , Munster & one French side !!!!
Ha….that is all.
What exactly are Munster champions of? Or even when was the last time Munster were champions of anything.
Elrat the word champions means you have to win something sadly for your lot that word is a from a time long long ago
Bitter little boy !!! Munster the only team in Ireland to beat this All Blacks ! Stick that in your pint of Heino and swallow sunshine ! Oh I think we were the FIRST province in Ireland to win the H Cup – twice I believed in the same century as Lonster !
the guy s will still buy it . tossers
Cabbage!!
Guess il be wearing the old one for another year! Maybe it’s a good thing it doesn’t have the extra star then id have to feckin buy it!
Those stripes won’t help the bigger gentleman look and smaller
I think it’s nice :)
Will have to wait to see it in the flesh. Didn’t like the last one when I saw the pics online but once I went into the Leinster store and saw it I loved it.
Elrat, Adidas bought the Munster sponsorship because jersey sales were the second highest in the world after the All Blacks. These sales occurred after the Heineken Cup wins. Please remember that before you start banging on about “Lonster Bandwaggoners”.
I’m pretty sure we kicked up a similar fuss over the old one too!?
The stripes are to appeal to the northsiders.
Trying to grow the game in jackeen hotspots – white boots and tacky jerseys are the way forward.
