THE Emirates Golden Lions 2016 Vodacom SuperRugby jerseys were revealed on Tuesday, December 1, at the Golden Lion Rugby Union’s (GLRU) annual year-end function.
The Emirates Golden Lions challenged Canterbury South Africa to create a unique Vodacom SuperRugby 2016 jersey that stands up to the physicality of the game and that not only represents everything the Emirates Lions stand for, but also everything Johannesburg and its 4.4 million citizens stand for.
The home jersey reflects the traditional red colour with the city’s unique skyline, while the away jersey bring in the golden skyline to resemble the birth of the city during the gold rush and a golden sunrise to reflect a new era for the Emirates Lions.
Both the home and away jerseys are based off the English and Irish national template and boast the traditional yet innovative loop collar design that has featured on Canterbury sports apparel since 1949.
