A unique piece of Welsh rugby history — this 1987 Wales long sleeve alternate jersey is a rare green design, reminiscent of the style worn against Tonga during the 1987 Rugby World Cup. Made by Bukta (not the official manufacturer at the time), it mirrors the look of the era’s alternate kits, used to avoid colour clashes. While the pit-to-pit measurement of 57cm suggests a Medium to Large fit, the overall length is just 64cm — very short by modern standards — so please check measurements carefully. In excellent vintage condition.
Please note all pictures shown are of the actual jersey up for purchase.
