The hype machine is beginning to ramp up in the southern hemisphere, and we are now only three months away from the first match of the 2017 Lions Tour. Warren Gatland's men face a gruelling schedule before they face the All Blacks in the first of three Test matches. The Lions will have to face three of New Zealand's Super Rugby sides before the first Test in Auckland. It is a great opportunity for the Kiwi franchises to claim a scalp over the crème de la crème of the home nations and ahead of these historic matches, each of the teams have released special edition jerseys for these fixtures. Adidas, kit manufacturer for all of the teams, have recently revealed each colourful jersey with special features respective to each side. The Lions will face the Auckland Blues first on June 7. https://twitter.com/BluesRugbyTeam/status/836770303657181186 Next up is a trip to Christchurch to face the Crusaders. https://twitter.com/SuperRugbyNZ/status/836719646283702272 The Lions will head further south to face the Highlanders in Dunedin before a match against the Maori All Blacks. https://twitter.com/Highlanders/status/836706394967420928 The final game before the first Test with the All Blacks will be a clash with the Chiefs in Hamilton. https://twitter.com/ChiefsRugby/status/836687048811544577 Finally, squeezed between the first and second Test against the All Blacks, the Lions will be up against the Hurricanes in Wellington. https://twitter.com/Hurricanesrugby/status/836724483360608256 Just for comparison, let's take a look at all the Super Rugby shirts against what our lads will be wearing in New Zealand. https://twitter.com/adidasrugby/status/836670755442085888 https://twitter.com/SiNainby/status/793066695766179846 Yeah...
