FOR THE FIRST time this season, Ulster will wear a bespoke European kit which the province will run out in during their Champions Cup campaign.
New signings Charles Piutau, Marcell Coetzee and Rodney Ah You were in attendance at Kingspan Stadium this evening to officially unveil the new Kukri manufactured shirt.
The front and back of the jersey features a traditional hoop design while the flash of white across the chest area accentuates the Ulster logo.
Faded into the side panels is a European Cup trophy illustration, with the design saluting the Ulster side of 1999 by placing a star in the middle to represent their victorious campaign.
On the inside of the collar, the words ’I take my stand by the Ulster names’ are printed in gold. This is the opening line to the poem ‘Ulster Names’ by renowned poet, John Hewitt.
Ulster find themselves in Pool 5 for the 2016/17 European campaign alongside Exeter, Clermont and Bordeaux.
Les Kiss’ men begin their campaign with the visit of Newport Gwent Dragons to Belfast on the opening weekend of the Pro12 season on Friday 2 September.
