INSPIRED BY HISTORY – THE 2025 BC BEARS XVs KIT
The BC Bears U19 XVs will be showcasing the new 2025 playing kit by O’Neills Sportswear during the CRCs!
Working collaboratively with our partners, O’Neills, the new 2025 playing jersey showcases a formidable return to white, inspired by the great BC Representative teams of the 1950s and 1960s.
The bold jersey is a nod to the heritage of our Representative teams, which culminated in a famous 8-3 victory over the British & Irish Lions in Vancouver in 1966, and is sublimated with a modern design. The jersey features a classic navy collar and navy/gold trim on the sleeves, with a clean white/gold trim on the playing shorts.
