Pic: So this is the new jersey Munster will be wearing in Europe this season

What’s the verdict Munster fans?

For the first time in the history of the province Munster will wear a separate kit in European competition this season, which will be adorned with two stars to represent their Heineken Cup successes in 2006 and 2008.

Pic via Inpho. Please note: The socks will feature red hoops similar to jersey. There will be no white colouring.



The kit will also recognise the contribution that Munster supporters have made to the province’s success over the years, as supporters were invited to submit their names and locations for an online competition on the Life Style Sports website, with winners being included in the European kit advertising campaign.

European Kit Launched - Available from tomorrow. See it here: http://t.co/ZjkDyAlG5N pic.twitter.com/dvIgrVbP06 — Munster Rugby (@Munsterrugby) September 24, 2014

The new jersey will be available exclusively at all Life Style Sports outlets nationwide and online at www.lifestylesports.com from tomorrow and will be first seen in action when Munster open their inaugural Champions Cup campaign away to Sale Sharks on October 18.

Hoops are something of a new departure as far as Munster are concerned and the shade of red appears a little lighter than in recent years, but never mind what we think, is it a nay or a yay from Munster fans?
