Connacht Release Limited-Edition 'Heroes' Jersey For A Good Cause

Connacht Rugby have released a special and unique, Limited-Edition ‘Heroes’ jersey in aid of ALONE and the Galway and Mayo/Roscommon Hospices.

 

 

The Irish province released the following statement confirming the news:

 

 
During these unprecedented times, ALONE and the Hospices are unrelenting in their support of our most vulnerable in society. To support their trojan efforts and by way of support to all our front-line workers, 100% of profits from this Limited-Edition jersey will go directly to ALONE and the two Connacht-based Hospices.

 
The jersey sports a unique design inspired by Superheroes, reminding us that they are not the only ones who wear capes and is our way of saying thanks to all Superheroes fighting day in, day out to makes the lives of the most vulnerable better. 

 

 

Connacht Rugby are thrilled to unveil 'Heroes' - a brand new jersey in aid of @ALONE_IRELAND @GalwayHospice and @MayoRoscHospice.

This limited-edition @BLKIreland jersey is available to pre-order NOW online with @Elverys 💚#HomeAdvantage

The caption ‘Home Advantage’ reminds us that for now, this game is won by staying at home, but is also a nod to what will be brighter and healthier days ahead, when we can all venture out to support Connacht Rugby at home in The Sportsground once again, wearing this ‘Heroes’ shirt with pride. 

 

 

 
Connacht Rugby would like to thank all our sponsors who donated their normal logo space to help make this jersey possible.
