Samurai are a family-run clothing design and manufacture whose origins began when, back in 1996, founder Terry Sands created his own kit for his Samurai International Rugby Sevens team at the Amsterdam Sevens.

The brand is now a leading multi-sport teamwear supplier kitting out teams from a variety of sports. Exeter Chiefs, Sale Sharks, Cornish Pirates and the Army Rugby Union are all technical partners alongside Kent Cricket and Derbyshire County Cricket Club.

Samurai is also a popular teamwear brand for university sports teams across the UK and overseas as well as local sports clubs, and are the current kit supplier for the Leicester Tigers Wheelchair Rugby team.

Leicester Tigers supporters will also be able to get their hands on a variety of Samurai products at a special pre-launch event held during the club’s Derby Day fixture against Northampton Saints on the weekend of May 15.

Samurai will be bringing their roadshow store to Welford Road to showcase products from their training, leisurewear and teamwear lines giving fans the chance to feel, try on and find out more about what Samurai are all about.

Speaking at the launch, Geordan said: “Working with Samurai is an incredible opportunity for Leicester Tigers to create a truly club-wide mentality amongst players, staff and supporters.
