Leicester Tigers' 2009/10 home kit has proved an instant hit with more than 1,000 supporters parading the new look in the first week since its launch.

The red, white and green hooped shirt is designed to reflect the tradition of Tigers in a modern style and has proved extremely popular, with the Tigers Club Shops welcoming a fresh delivery this week to help satisfy demand.

The first-team squad launched the new look at the headquarters of main sponsors Caterpillar in Desford, Leicestershire, and Tigers managing director David Clayton said: “We have received very positive feedback from supporters and shirt sales have been going very well.”

Replica shirts, featuring a traditional-style collar, are available now from the Tigers Club Shop in a full range of sizes from babies, children, youths and adults, as well as a tailored ladies style, all in long and short sleeves.
