Leinster’s new home jersey might be just a little bit controversial

Leinster have finally shown their hand and have launched their new jersey for the 2017/2018 season.

The official Canterbury kit launch was revealed on Tuesday morning on social media and we have to say, it's not a bad effort. In fairness, the province provided us with a very decent home jersey last year, but the European and alternative kits, it must be said, did leave a lot to be desired. Interestingly, this year, Canterbury have changed the game, the jersey contains a chequered design pattern which we have not seen on many rugby jerseys before. In our opinions, there is just a little bit too much going on in this new jersey, you're not sure if it's dark blue, you're not sure if it's royal blue, you're not sure if it's navy. We don't think it lives up to the lofty standards of last year's banger. https://twitter.com/leinsterrugby/status/894834391494643712 In fairness, though, the gold strip surrounding the collar is an extremely nice touch. https://twitter.com/lifestylesports/status/894839983063707648 https://twitter.com/leinsterrugby/status/894835906498228224 It's not living up to last year's home jersey standards though. https://twitter.com/WilloKing72/status/748890283404824577
