Nike British Irish Lions Heraldic Lion Rugby Polo

This Nike pique polo in the colours of the British & Irish Lions is designed for supporters looking for an elegant, versatile matchday garment. Made from pique fabric, it features a sail colourway accented with obsidian (deep navy blue) and pepper red details. The embroidered heraldic lion — the historic emblem of the team bringing together the best players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland since 1888 — marks the visual identity of this official Nike collection. The classic standard fit suits all body types, from S to 4XL, and the timeless short-sleeved polo style works just as well in the stands as at the club or in everyday life.

Why this polo for Lions supporters?

The pique fabric offers a structured look, good breathability and easy care (machine washable). The neutral and elegant sail colourway highlights the obsidian and pepper red accents — the traditional Lions colours, recalling the four nations united under one shirt. Unlike replica jerseys, this polo keeps a understated, urban style, ideal for discreetly showing your attachment to the team during tours (next: Australia 2025) or in everyday life. The embroidered heraldic lion brings the authenticity of an officially licensed Nike product.

Which size should I choose for a 100 cm chest measurement?

Size M suits a chest measurement of approximately 96-101 cm. If you have an athletic build or prefer a looser fit, opt for size L.

Does the polo shrink when washed?

No, the pique fabric keeps its dimensions if you wash it in a machine at 30°C maximum and dry it in the open air. Avoid the tumble dryer to preserve the embroidery.

Can this polo be worn all year round?

Yes, the short-sleeved pique fabric is suitable for spring and summer. In autumn or winter, wear it under a jacket or sweatshirt for extra protection.

Design

The pique fabric — recognisable by its honeycomb texture — offers a light, breathable structure, ideal for regulating body temperature during matches or everyday wear. The sail colourway (off-white) forms the neutral base, while the obsidian (dark navy blue) and pepper red details recall the historic colours of the four nations (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland). The embroidered heraldic lion on the chest reproduces the team's official emblem, guaranteeing the product's authenticity under Nike licence. The classic standard fit, neither fitted nor oversized, ensures an elegant drape on all body types.

The British & Irish Lions

The British & Irish Lions are the oldest international rugby team, founded in 1888. Every four years, the best players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland come together for a tour of the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand, South Africa, Australia). The heraldic lion — a British royal symbol — represents the union of the four nations under one red shirt. The next tour will take place in Australia in 2025. Wearing this polo means showing your support for this unique institution of world rugby.

Nike

Nike has been kitting out the British & Irish Lions since 2021, succeeding Canterbury. The American brand brings its technical expertise (breathable fabrics, ergonomic fit) and clean design to the team's official collections. It offers a full range for supporters (polos, caps, fleeces) and players, allowing fans to visually identify with the team during tours.
