Scarlets will be donning their gleaming new third kit for the opening round of Challenge Cup action against Newcastle Red Bulls on Saturday.
The new VX3 strip has gone down a storm with fans and the players are big fans of the design as well, which has been inspired by a jersey worn by the club back in 1881
That original 19th-century kit is recorded in the history books as being rose and primrose in colour and for the modern interpretation, the traditional colours have been reimagined as birch and claret, while a distinctive pink dragon scale pattern features across the front of the jersey.
The pink detailing is a nod to the rose element of the original 1881 kit, bringing an important piece of Scarlets history into a contemporary design.
Scarlets players Eddie James, Joe Roberts and Kemsley Mathias took part in the photo shoot at Aberglasney Gardens in Llangathen, just outside of Carmarthen and you can see the finished product below.
The third kit is on sale now in the VX3 store at Parc y Scarlets and online HERE
