Director of Rugby Declan Kidney is currently preparing his London Irish side for a promotion push as they look to return to the Gallagher Premiership and they are set to do so decked out in an absolutely stunning kit.
Kidney joined the club in March, along with new head coach Les Kiss. Also at the club is Irish back row Conor Gilsenan. Ahead of their Championship campaign London Irish released their new home and away kit.

The away kit is particularly deserving of praise, with a sleek green hoop and white body. A good jersey can be ruined by a sponsor so the decision to change colour of the logo from home to away is to be welcomed.
London Irish are set to face Munster in Cork on Friday night in a pre-season friendly while they will also dawn the away kit for their first Championship game as they take on Ealing Trailfinders on September 1.
