Lion's Kit Speculation or Suggestions

[O'Rothlain]

So, I hated the last shot at the lion's kit. The 2003 was nice, though. I was just watching the NRL and St. George Illawarra, and thought, that looks like the Lion's.
Here is what I suggest for the new British and Irish Lion's Kit:

Obviously sans the St. G-I sponsorship stuff. But it is addidas and it's much better than what they're doing for Munster.

looks nice.

Does anyone know if they've released ideas of what the new Lions kit will look like?

Oh wouldn't that be a nice change of pace... <_<

Maybe I'm an old school style lover but I'd like to see collars, possibly even a hooped jersey. Something that is a throwback look but modern as well like the Barbarians, it'll never happen though.

The Lions have never worn hoops.

Oh but they did:

Shaw & Shrewsbury Team, 1888, The first British or Irish touring rugby team, a private-enterprise trip to Australia and New Zealand[/b]

Not under the official name, but still pretty much the same thing.


And I still think it would be cool. Collared, hooped jerseys are as "rugby" as the oval shaped ball, IMO.

that would be a deciding factor then hey i'll see if i get bored again today and i'll dummy up another one... always just for shits and giggles

 

[InsaneAsylum]

there ya go. i found out hsbc are also the major sponsor so i dummied up a 3 stripe jersey and a hooped jersey as well

 

[jonathanumpherville]

Man that second one looks f***ing great, if only!

 

[candybum]

Japan anyone? lol

 

[Thingimubob]

nah the hooped one is actually quite nice looking

 

[O'Rothlain]

I decided to join the nerdfest and mock up one also. Voila!

 

[Thingimubob]

looks quite nice O'Rothlain, but is it just me, or is it really similar to the one they wore out to Australia on 2001? Not that that's a bad thing, just pointing it out.

 

[steynboi]

you guys should start a big scam on the internet saying its the new lions kit it would be giggles worldwide if they blieved.

The bottom left handside kit is similar to Nate's mock up. To be honest the last few kits that have been produced have been crap. I personally like the 1997 Lions Kit!
