From one of the most iconic Lions tours of all time — the 1997 British & Irish Lions victory over the reigning world champion Springboks in South Africa. This training jersey has become highly sought-after, especially with the 2025 Lions tour to Australia just around the corner.
Condition is very good overall. The white fabric has faded slightly with age and washing, and the collar buttons have lost their original shape, but otherwise this jersey is in great shape and ready to wear or collect. While these jerseys tend to run big this jersey actually fits true to size, would even fit a medium.
Condition: Very good – light fade and button wear, otherwise solid.
