A classic piece from one of the most famous tours in British & Irish Lions history, this 1989 Lions long sleeve jersey was produced by Umbro, the official kit manufacturer for the tour to Australia. Featuring the iconic red Lions body with traditional white collar and the embroidered four-nation Lions crest, this jersey represents the unmistakable look of the touring side during one of the most dramatic series victories the Lions have ever achieved.

The 1989 tour saw the Lions defeat Australia 2–1 in the test series, famously turning the series around after losing the opening test. The decider in Sydney has become part of Lions folklore, with Australia’s David Campese throwing a loose pass in his own in-goal that gifted Ieuan Evans a crucial try. Made from 100% cotton in England, this jersey remains in excellent condition with strong colour and minimal signs of wear. Tagged 44 inches and best suited to a modern Small to Medium fit.
