Did anyone see the new Munster Away jersey? I wasn't aware that Leinster were now playing in Limerick. Apparently the new Munster Strip is being released on the 23rd of August as well. I have no idea if this is a coincidence or by design.

If the Team\Individual Photo Shoots are being taken this week then we should get a look at the whole squad in the new jerseys next week some time.


The dead site being up-dated?! :ohmy:

Did anyone else notice the detailing on the right side of the away jersey? Looks like they are using the eagle motiff again. Can't wait to see these up close.

There are some images up on the Elverys site already of some of the lads in full kit, Dan Parks, Kyle Tonetti in Change Kit and Aly Muldowney, Robbie Henshaw and Gav in Home...

Not cheap kit, that's for sure...

Was in Elverys, home jersey instore in around 2 weeks time. Away one, the week after. They have said they have never had such an amount of inquiries for any jersey.

On their online store, they have 3 pages of Connacht gear ( granted no pictures up yet ) but that is a huge increase in merchandise from previous years.

We're not playing Quins so we're borrowing their jersey so we don't go into withdrawal?

Ahem, I was spot on!

Very impressed with both shirts. I don't like the green shorts but I'll get over that. I'd probably go for the away jersey if I was getting one. Hopefully the supporters jerseys are not like other BLK replicas that look very baggy.

I've heard (not seen) what the H Cup jersey could look like, I don't want to give it away because of the idea behind it but trust me it's going to be colourful!

Relax about the "launch" lads. Today was the "reveal". Just take a look at the soccer clubs, they always show off the jersey and have it for pre-order before it's available in stores. The launch will be the release date which is the 23rd. Let's not forget we've the h-cup jersey coming hopefully next week too.

Very happy with both of those jersys, great to see that a bit of thought has gone into to them.

Well done BLK, great start !

Have to say I love both kits.
Again they seem to have missed out on a proper launch, seems it was a bit rushed to get it up on Facebook before tonight's game in France, really need to create hype and capitalise on the kit launches!! Any word on the season launch party or the dogs for that matter?

Really nice jerseys the away one caught me by surprise I would have liked to see the striped one as an alternative but it shows the variety blk can offer. Agreed we got the best new kit this season.

Very happy with those, I think they've finally made a decent job of the blue and white one. I wonder if they'll bring out the black one we've seen or if it's purely a training top

I had a flick back through the jerseys some of us did up on the BLK site, we were all way off! Galway Gas called the dots right in one of them, but that was about it.

Like both jerseys. Our nicest ever. Think black shorts would look better with home jersey. Overall launch has been a bit of a damp squib unfortunately.
Interesting article here about corporate evolution of BLK and their relationship with KooGa. www.fijisun.com.fj/2012/10/21/kooga-comp...acture-here-in-fiji/

think both look mega. i really like the home shirt and the shading.

BLK are here to stay. Seem a very proactive firm. Nice kit. blows away munster and leinsters new kit anyway.

Is the away jersey the new corinthians home jersey?!!!!
