Authentic 2016/17 Munster Rugby Away Jersey by Adidas (Iconic Stag Graphic Edition)

Secure one of the most celebrated alternate shirt designs in modern Irish rugby with this verified original 2016 Munster rugby away jersey manufactured by Adidas. Fielded throughout the 2016/2017 Pro12 and European Champions Cup campaigns, this jersey remains an instantly recognizable collector’s piece, celebrated for its bold graphic artwork and its connection to a remarkable, resilient season for the province.

The Legend of the Stag, Rassie Erasmus Era & Adidas Performance

This 2016 Munster rugby away jersey offers a dramatic design narrative rooted in Irish mythology and the historic Munster Rugby crest. Constructed on a dark navy blue body, the front panel is dominated by an intricate, sublimated neon blue artwork depicting the legendary roaring stag—reflecting the province’s traditional motto: “To the brave and faithful, nothing is impossible.” The vibrant blue flames of the graphic are complemented by high-visibility solar yellow details, including the embroidered Munster crest over the heart, embroidered Adidas badge on the right chest, Bank of Ireland torso sponsor, inner collar stag emblems, and bold sleeve cuff banding. Silver-grey Adidas 3-Stripes run cleanly across the shoulders to complete the kit.

The 2016/17 season was marked by extraordinary unity and passion under Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus and defense coach Jacques Nienaber. Following the tragic passing of head coach and club legend Anthony “Axel” Foley in October 2016, Munster channeled their grief into unforgettable performances—mounting dominant winning streaks, reaching the European Champions Cup semi-finals, and charging all the way to the Pro12 Grand Final. This shirt was brought to life on matchdays by Red Army fan favorites including Conor Murray, CJ Stander (who swept the IRUPA Players’ Player of the Year awards), captain Peter O’Mahony, Keith Earls, Simon Zebo, Tyler Bleyendaal, Jaco Taute, John Ryan, Niall Scannell, Tommy O’Donnell, and Francis Saili. Crafted from Adidas’s lightweight, breathable performance fabric with a comfortable round V-neck placket, original 2016/17 away tops in well-preserved Medium sizing are highly coveted additions for Munster rugby archivists and worldwide jersey collectors.
