'The collar is back': Wallabies unveil jersey for B&I Lions series
JERSEY LAUNCH: Rugby Australia unveiled the new Wallabies jersey for The British & Irish Lions Series next year, marking the first time in 12 years that Australia will host the prestigious event.
The jersey will feature the First Nations Tour artwork created by Wallaby Dylan Pietsch.
In addition to the inclusion of the First Nations artwork, the official series logo will appear on the sleeve, whilst the inner sleeve cuff will feature the First Nations place names of the event fixture locations.
With a return to a traditional collar and placket front design, the match day jersey is crafted using sustainable materials.

“I am incredibly proud to be representing myself and my culture as part of this momentous series through the inclusion of my artwork across the tournament range,” said Pietsch.
“The centre of the artwork features a wallaby and a lion in a direct reference to the Lions Series.
“Their relationship is presented as a battle underpinned by respect. Respect for our game, and respect for one another.”
