Can not see the branch allowing an image of the playing jersey to get out there without some media event around it.

The folks at Elverys in Dundrum Shopping Centre would disagree with you. :evil: :evil: :evil:

I think its ok. After initially not likeing last years jersey I came to really love it. If I was allowed to buy anymore rugby gear I'd have snapped that up. (The partner has me on a ban as nearly all my shirts are rugby shirts). I always liked the Rugbytech designs, it was everything else they were crap at. I don't think this is the Home Jersey; we're BLK's spokes team for the coming season so I imagine it will be done with a lot of fanfare and hoopla (which is only right)

Edit: If you go into edit you can check out the pic that swift4prez put up which of a white shirt. I really like it that they have it in long sleeves if that was out I'd buy it regardless of what the partner thought!

Agree. Looks great. I wonder if this is match day kit or just training kit. Ronaldson looks like he has bulked up a good bit over the last year.

Think it might only be the training kit. Can not see the branch allowing an image of the playing jersey to get out there without some media event around it.

This looks like a great deal for Connacht and to be frank they couldn't be much worse than Rugbytech/Elverys were for bringing stuff out, although a lot of the problems seem to be fixed the last year (except in Dundrum). :evil:

Anyone know how much we're talking about? And is it a much bigger sum than Rugbytech gave us?

I didn't think about that, it's a true conspiration...

Given the way Samoa smash people that may be a deliberate ploy - "Touch Judge, did you get a number?"

:evil:

Here it is guys! Four years deal with BTK

They kit Samoa as well? That was a nice jersey. Good to know.

You would think so, but has there been any announcement yet that they are the new kit supplier? I see that Samoa wore their gear today in the game v Scotland.

There's also the official Connacht Merch shop. www.connachtrugbystore.ie/

Both elverys and the connacht rugby store have sales on certain items

With new gear in the pipeline where is the best place to get the rugbytech gear
