Thank you to our friends at ESPN Scrum for the info and picture.
The British & Irish Lions have unveiled their shirt for the 2013 tour of Australia.
The Lions kick off their 10-match tour in Hong Kong against the Barbarians on June 1 and they will be wearing a shirt that sports a collar reminiscent of the top they wore during the victorious 1997 tour of South Africa. The tour will be the Lions' 125th anniversary and the shirt also has an enlarged crest similar to earlier designs.
The "tonal hoop design" harks back to the top worn by the 1888 and 1891 tourists and the fabric is clima lite.
The Lions will be searching for their first series victory since 1997 and their first series win on Australian soil since 1989. The Lions, coached by Warren Gatland, will be visiting Australia for the first time since 2001 and apart from the Wallabies, will also be playing against all 5 Super 15 outfits ( Reds, Brumbies, Force, Tahs, Rebels) and a combined NSW/QLD outfit.
