HSBC and The British & Irish Lions have launched a digital Lions shirt designed to be a central online destination for all rugby fans ahead of the start of this summer’s Tour to Australia.
For the first time ever, the famous red jersey has been turned into an online content sharing platform housing hundreds of existing Lions related photos and videos, as well thousands of spare pixels for fans to upload their own photos and messages into the empty spaces.
Sitting within the official British & Irish Lions team website (lionsrugby.com) and in recognition of the unique nature of The Lions, this digital jersey can be viewed and shared online by all rugby fans no matter which home nation they support.
Using a special deep zoom technology, the digital shirt is the first of its kind for the famous touring side that is celebrating its 125th year in 2013. All Lions fans are encouraged to get involved and become part of history by uploading a photo and message of support on this inaugural digital Lions shirt which will be shared with The Lions squad to illustrate the depth of support they have from fans around the world.
