British and Irish Lions Kit: Why Rugby Union Test Team wears red jersey

In New Zealand’s 1930 tour, the Blue Jersey Design created a significant controversy. First, it caused the kit clash with all blacks, which was forced to find an alternative, inspiring them to wear white for the first time in their history.

Meanwhile, the Irish Lock George Bimish questioned the green deficiency on the kit, causing a green business on the socks. The Blue Jersey remained in 1938 in South Africa until the last tour of World War two before two.

After the end of the conflict, Lions set a return to New Zealand in 1950, and the Blue Jersey was dropped in favor of Lal to avoid the same kit clash, which led to a dispute in 1930.

From there, the red jersey is stuck and is different from a minor branding additions.

The kit supplier people appeared on the Lions Kit in 1993, when Nike built the team’s dress, while the first front-off-shirt sponsor Scottish Provident was in 1997.
