This is an original 1999 Leicester Tigers long-sleeve alternate rugby jersey, made by Cotton Traders. Featuring the classic navy base with red and green horizontal striping, this is a high-quality 100% cotton jersey from one of the most recognisable eras in Leicester’s modern history.
Dating back to the late 1990s, this jersey reflects the traditional heavyweight Cotton Traders construction that made these pieces so durable and desirable. The embroidered Leicester Tigers crest, Cotton Traders branding, and Vauxhall sponsor are all crisp and well preserved.
This example is in excellent condition, with no flaws, wear, or fading to note. It features the number 8 on the back and the Premier Rugby sleeve patch, adding strong on-field authenticity. While not believed to be player-issue, it is a true on-field replica of the jersey worn during the 1999 season.
Tagged Small, it fits true to size and remains a standout long-sleeve piece for collectors of classic English club rugby and Leicester Tigers supporters alike.
