For the slightly out of shape, more mature supporters seeking the comfort fit sizes in the new Jersey, I have just ordered a 3XL Supporters Jersey on the BLK own site. Cost was €105. Delivery was free.
Elvery's show 3XL (out of Stock) on their website but after a bit of pushing they admitted that they never order any of the 'bigger' sizes.

Will let everyone know how it fits and how long it takes to arrive.

It's like they designed a jersey that would cause a colour clash with the maximum number of other teams.
Should be OK for Thomond Park at the end of the season.

I haven't seen these released anywhere yet but maybe I just missed it. I was checking out the BLK site and saw this listed as the new away jersey. Looks like a mash up of this year's home jersey (front), last year's home jersey (back).

I think they must have changed their sizing. The first jersey we got from them, I bought in a Large. It still fits me nicely. I have two of the newer jerseys in Large, and they hang off me a bit.
Will teach me to try things on next time

One thing I find with BLK is the sizes are pretty big. I tend to buy a size smaller than my typical size.

Ill pass it on next time Im talking to them, should be next week.

Sizes available would be based on what Elverys ask for from Blk and what Blk give to Elverys.

Any way of contacting Elevery's off the record and seeing wha the story is with sizes, as last year there were larger sizes available?

I don't know if it's Elvery's or BLKs fault for it?

Elvery's entirely I believe, BLK will make em in any size wanted and they do up to 7XL if required.

This range has more than a hint of the heavy hand of Elverty's in the design and colours, and the limited range online reminds me how frustrated I was before Lifestyle Sports took over...

Only my personal opinion of course, but this is the worst range of kit (Training shirt and possible Home shirt if seen live) that I've seen. I'm really not hopeful at all for the change and Euro shirts given the crap they've already delivered.

Still use my Dark Blue Rugbytech jacket............. warm and waterproof. It comes out of the wardrobe like a long lost friend in September !

It's really waterproof gear that's the issue, the lack of green stuff to wear when the weather is foul....

BLK brought out the green tracksuit top around 3 years ago, I got that.

The blue training jersey is quite nice too. www.elverys.ie/elverys/en/Elverys/Rugby/...000000001066318_NAVY

h.

Lads,it's a major bee in my bonnet for years that the predominant colour for Connacht jackets is blue or black... 12 years or so ago there was a one off actual green jacket ,I have one and am fairly sure the only one to be seen in The Sportsgrounds..... Which says a lot on how well it sold back then.

You're not alone Mikey- I have a light bomber jacket from years ago- just right for fine September games (and Galway Arts Festival)!!

Great stuff ! Thanks.
