Canterbury unveils new Leicester Tigers home shirt

07/05/2013
Rugby-focused sportswear brand Canterbury unveiled a new home shirt for English premiership side Leicester Tigers on May 4. Canterbury said the new shirt reflects the long-standing heritage of the club, blending memories of a traditional striped design with “a modern look and feel”.
 
The new Tigers shirt is made with a high-performance polyester-elastane fabric offering, Canterbury said, strength and effective moisture management, while making the shirt lightweight and comfortable. The elastane also delivers stretch, allowing a tight fit which doesn’t restrict movement while allowing players to avoid tackles.
 
Chris Stephenson, Canterbury chief executive, said at the time of the launch: “We are immensely proud to unveil the new Leicester Tigers home shirt, which revisits the distinctive stripes that have been part of the club’s legacy for over a century. The traditional Tigers shirt is iconic across the rugby world and this new shirt has a modern element incorporating the cutting-edge fabric technologies that people have come to expect from the Canterbury brand.”
