Wallabies Unveil Stunning New Jersey for 2024 British & Irish Lions Series

Australian rugby fans are in for a treat! The Wallabies have unveiled their brand new jersey for the highly anticipated 2024 British & Irish Lions Series, marking the first time in 12 years that Australia will host this prestigious event.

The jersey, a collaborative effort between ASICS and Rugby Australia, features a stunning First Nations Tour artwork created by proud Wiradjuri man and Wallaby number 978, Dylan Pietsch. This unique design is a powerful celebration of connection to country, community, and the unifying spirit of rugby.

A Design Rich in Meaning

The artwork, which adorns the underarm and lower back of the jersey, tells the story of the bond between people and their land. It also highlights the way rugby brings communities together through shared passion and purpose.

“I am incredibly proud to be representing myself and my culture as part of this momentous series through the inclusion of my artwork across the tournament range.

“The centre of the artwork features a wallaby and a lion in a direct reference to the Lions Series. Their relationship is presented as a battle underpinned by respect. Respect for our game, and respect for one another.”

– Dylan Pietsch

Pietsch’s artwork utilizes traditional dot painting techniques, showcasing intricate patterns that depict the beauty of Australian landscapes and nods to Aboriginal Dreamtime stories.

A Jersey Built for Performance

Beyond its stunning design, the new Wallabies jersey is built for peak performance on the field. Crafted using sustainable materials, it features a lightweight knit fabric designed to maximize ventilation and keep players cool during intense matches.

A panel-free construction ensures maximum mobility, allowing players to move freely and confidently across the pitch. A subtle debossed diamond texture adds a touch of style to the jersey.

A Celebration of Australian Rugby

Wallaby number 896, Allan Alaalatoa, expressed his excitement about wearing the new jersey, stating:

“I’m incredibly excited about the possibility of wearing the Lions Series jersey, and to have one of our teammates design it is extremely special. Having had the opportunity to test the jersey as part of the campaign, I’m confident the new design will allow the team to perform at its best in what is an incredibly special Series in any player’s career.”
