Classic 1996 Ireland long sleeve rugby jersey, made by Nike and constructed from 100% heavyweight cotton, weighing in at over 700 grams. Jerseys from this era were built exceptionally tough, and this is a prime example of Nike’s mid-1990s rugby construction.

Designed with the traditional long Nike fit, this jersey was intended to be worn tucked into jeans, giving it a longer, roomier cut than modern replicas. It features the old-school Nike Swoosh logo, a defining detail of the era.

Tagged XL, but fits XXL and even up to 3XL, making it a genuinely big-fitting, heavy jersey. Condition is excellent, with no wash fade and no notable flaws.

A standout piece of classic Irish rugby wear from the heart of the 1990s.
