Hoops and heritage in new Stormers look

The new Stormers home jersey will continue to feature the signature look of WP - hoops - but the heights of the striping across the jersey have changed slightly.

The most notable changes, however, can be seen in the new away jersey.

The Disa-inspired red away jersey celebrates the rich history of WP, where the Stormers franchise originates from.

"We believe that the contemporary new look of both the home and away jerseys will inspire the team to winning ways in 2016, but, more importantly, speak to our fans," Western Province Rugby CEO Rob Wagner said.

"The away jersey is an exciting take on our rich history, which incorporates the red of the Disa, which represents the pride, heritage and diversity of our union and teams.

"We are proud to retain an element of our history in our new designs."

The new home jersey will make its debut at Newlands on Saturday, February 27 against the Bulls at the start of the Super Rugby tournament.
