New Connacht jersey maximises 'player manoeuvrability'

Connacht players modelling their new kit.

Connacht Rugby have revealed their new home, away and European jerseys for the 2020/21 season. The new jersey is made with BLK’s improved Exotek fabric throughout the main body. Exotek was created exclusively for BLK to enhance athlete performance while maximizing player manoeuvrability.

The new Away jersey will be worn the following week in the return fixture at Thomond Park.

Our new principal partner, Genesys, the global leader in cloud customer experience and contact centre solutions, will also feature across the front of the shirts for the very first time.

Commenting on the unveiling of the new jerseys, Head of Commercial and Marketing at Connacht Rugby Brian Mahony said:

“This year’s range is the strongest we have had and the feedback from the players has been fantastic. BLK have introduced some great garments this year, continuing to innovate the range. There is something there for everyone – from those who are looking for something subtle and smart, to those looking to make more of a statement. Our team have worked closely with BLK to deliver an exceptional product line for our supporters”.
