Authentic 2017/18 Munster Rugby Alternate Jersey by Adidas
Add a standout change release to your provincial rugby collection with this verified original 2017 munster rugby alternate jersey manufactured by Adidas. Fielded across away fixtures during the 2017/18 European Champions Cup and Pro14 seasons, this kit stands as one of the most visually refined and popular dark alternate designs released during Adidas’s long-standing partnership with the province.
Stealth Aesthetics, European Away Days & Adidas Engineering
This 2017 munster rugby alternate jersey departs from Munster’s traditional red in favor of a powerful, modern charcoal and slate aesthetic. Built on a dark grey performance knit body, the central focus of the shirt is an intricate, multi-tonal geometric pattern running down the entire front torso—a stylized graphic interpretation inspired by the antlers of the three stags on the provincial crest.
The design is elevated throughout by metallic silver contrast accents. The chest proudly features a silver high-density Munster crest on the left, matching silver Adidas performance logo on the right, and the long-standing shirt partner Bank of Ireland logo printed cleanly across the chest. Running down the shoulder panels are classic grey Adidas 3-Stripes, while the sleeve bands carry Munster’s proud Latin squad mottos printed in silver: “Fortiter et Fideliter” (Boldly and Faithfully) and “Nihil Difficile” (Nothing is Too Difficult). During the 2017/18 season under Johann van Graan, Munster showcased their trademark grit on the road in crucial fixtures across South Africa, Wales, Scotland, and France. This exact style was worn on the pitch by international stars including Peter O’Mahony, Conor Murray, CJ Stander, Keith Earls, Simon Zebo, Tyler Bleyendaal, Billy Holland, Rory Scannell, and Niall Scannell. Crafted from lightweight, breathable performance fabric, original 2017/18 Adidas alternate tops in clean condition remain highly prized items for Red Army supporters and vintage rugby kit collectors alike.
