Fans Can Reveal The Alternate Jersey

[glossy]

you do know that they are going to go around the edges first and show the most important bit last.
thats why I'm not bothering my hole. They tried this with the Welsh jersey before the World Cup - It was red.... woop!

The are actually revealed randomly every time you access it. I believe they will switch the underlying picture when its closer to being reveled

[BOK]

From my experience of "morketing" types they actually do think like this. They also think that Munster fans sit at home becoming all misty-eyed over the laundry basket when they spot "wear with Pride and Honesty" on the fu*cking collar of the jersey. It's how they stay employed. They convince the marks in the boardroom that Jim Punter likes this garbage because if people realized that all you need to sell a rugby jersey in Munster or anywhere else is "HERE IS THE NEW JERSEY. BUY IT NOW. LOOK HERE'S YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER WEARING IT" they'd have to go back to convincing teens that Lynx Africa makes the girls, like, so horny for you.

I agree with you Joe but unfortunately, and probably more worryingly, there are a large number of people out there that gobble up all this marketing sh**e!

I really worry about the future of our beloved game with the increasing soccerisation of it all but unfortunately cash is king and it's only gonna get worse.

I could feel the honesty on my neck, man. It burned like truth.

BOK I just won't believe that any adult in full control of their faculties could do anything other then cringe harder than a small dog taking a sh*t at "BELIEVE" and "All As One". I just refuse to believe it.

I'm going to pitch a new campaign to Munster Rugby. It's "WIN FOR FU*K SAKE".

One time I felt shame and dishonesty and my jersey just flat out refused to be worn.

The swirly things are Ogham.

No, swirly things are a blurred crest and sponsor. Not going to be able to make anything out until they unblur it. Looks fairly plain tho.

There is some form of swirliness on the new kit. This little piece of fascinating info was on the Facebook app.

Ogham Inscriptions : Ogham is the earliest form of writing in Ireland dating back to the 4th Century. The vast majority of the Ogham inscriptions are found in the Munster region. The new alternative adidas Munster Rugby jersey is inscribed with Ogham wording translated as 'Redness'.

Obviously, that is not in any way cringeworthy.

Don't know depends how it's done. I'm all for representing our culture and displaying it so long as its subtle and tasteful. I personally for example liked the 6 counties being listed on the inside at the bottom of the last jersey, but not so keen on the way it is done on the new jersey.

[FORWARD....]

Sounds exciting.

Jeez, that's not much of a jersey. Who'd buy that ?

[kevin10]

You will see it more in sport shops than ever on the pitch. It only ever has one guaranteed outing a year, usually some cold and wet Friday night in Llanelli. A lot of noise about a shirt that will be seen for just 80 minutes in the Rabo then never seen again.

ahh, paranoia. The cornerstone of true supporter loyalty.

[isola ciarrai]

Jesus wept.
Cant wait to see a new kit supplier installed, preferably one thats biggest interest is making rugby jerseys, not all the other morketing bolloxology thats cropping up lately.
Make the gear, leave it at that for **** sake.

FFS, Cowboy, that's morkeshing!

[The Last Stand]

What is wrong with plain red or an odd navy stripe such as with the older canterbury jerseys?

Pssst, the home jersey is red, Munster need an alternate jersey and they also need money so hay presto we have a new alternate jersey which gets rarely seen on the pitch but you'll see it on the backs of fans which is a good thing for a commercial entity such as Munster.

Not aiming at anyone in particular but people get waaaaay too caught up in the colour/design of the jersey, something I never understood. The only time I would get anyway worked up about a jersey was if the red for the home jersey was changed - that would not sit well. As for a jersey that gets the odd outing - pffft it can be obnoxious purple for all I care.

Hehehe redness. There's a cream you can get for that on prescription.

[No. 16]

They just couldn't resist with more gold I see. Or is it more hi-vis safety yellow?

Redness in ogham! Love it! Is that like blushing with embarrassment redness? Yeast infection redness? Or just smacked arse redness?

Just don't forget...Adidas would like you to wear this "with shame and knavishness"

What the funk ever happened to variations of regular old red white and blue?

Who decided that hoops should be retired to the history books of rugby too? I LIKED PLAIN OLD HOOPS!

[Balla Boy]

The training photos had the hi-vis stuff. Would expect something similar.

I'd forgive them all their sins if they'd permanently re-issue the Thomond 78 vintage shirt as they did the year of the AB's game. Then I wouldn't have to but anything else.

[daveyreidy]

I seem to remember the alternative jersey being worn on a couple of matches of decent significance around 2008. 1/4s and Final of HEC?

[No. 16]

I actually think that 2008 one was the last decent colour scheme. I have one just to wear on a field of "play" now. Same goes for the primary jersey that year (wore it to cardiff then gave it to a foreigner to wear on his first ever trip to a rugby match in TP).

I have the supporter jersey from 2 years ago just because it's classic and cotton and that makes up for the naff gold piping.

I haven't used my MRSC discount token since and don't expect I will this year or ever again if this is the Shiite they're going to continue with.
Actually...my last rugby shirt bought was a plain red 100% cotton long sleeve white collared real rugby shirt. If I wanted to wear my team colours to the match and in public on match day I'd rather that then the ultra flammable fire hazard stuff!
(edit : but i still have a few Canterbury ones on the go...including one from 1998! I'd say that wasnt good stuff for merchandising...it lasted too long! 14 years old and still intact!)

no sign of the mosaic yoke finishing this week, however the interweb has already got a hold of a picture of the new Away jersey.

Stripes on the side look more Reebok than Adidas

[Huwie]

Its nice,
I can see this selling well.
Dayglo is very popular these days, it will fit in with all the other gear they do

[the_dazz]

Must say I think this jersey and the other 2 training jerseys are very nice jerseys, well done adidas on the nice jerseys. Jerseys!

[claw marked]

I'm going to pitch a new campaign to Munster Rugby. It's "WIN FOR FU*K SAKE".

Well I'm prepared to donate to the creation of that banner. About time we got ourselves a new munsterfans banner no?

[Cowboy]

'You'll notice the stitch marks under the ribs on each jersey, these are of course, to evoke the process of donating one's heart to the cause of pride and honesty.......I mean, Munster Rugby. The ritual is performed by all Brave and Faithful members of Munsters red army.'
