Chiefs Kit Launch 2019

Exeter Chiefs will once again use the city's picturesque and historic Quayside as the perfect back drop to reveal their new look for the 2019/20 season.
Members of Rob Baxter's first-team squad will head for the city centre location this Saturday (3-5pm) to produce another eye-catching reveal of their new home and cup kits for the upcoming season.
Working in tandem with businesses and our sponsors swcomms, Flybe, Centrax, Bradfords Building Supplies, Fire Defence Services, MJ Baker, Otter Brewery, The Exeter, Thrifty and Watson Fuels, located in and around the quay, the players will not only model the new playing kits, but they will be on hand to sign autographs and pose for pictures, as well as engaging in a number of activities with the Community Chiefs.
Entering into an tenth season of partnership with Samurai, the Chiefs have again worked closely with the Norfolk-based company on producing something spectacular to take into their fixtures both in the Gallagher Premiership, Heineken Champions Cup and the Premiership Rugby Cup.
The Chiefs will again benefit from wearing Samurai’s ICONIX test match jersey constructed with an exclusive Kohino 4DX fabric, which works in sync with each individual athlete, allowing for movement instead of restricting it; whilst maintaining tensile strength.
The shirts other attributes include an integrated collar, GPS pouch, bicep sculpted sleeves, anti-pinch underarms and sculpted diverted side seam panelling, making it increasingly difficult for the opposition to pull down the Chiefs. This will accompany a full range of off-field kit, made from a functional range of PerformeX fabrics, designed to ensure that the garments perform better and last longer
Exeter Chiefs Chairman and Chief Executive, Tony Rowe OBE, said: "As a club we are delighted to be continuing our excellent partnership with Samurai Sportswear heading into the new 2019/20 season. Since our promotion into the Premiership back in 2010, Samurai have been with us every step of the way, ensuring our team and our supporters not only look good, but deliver fully on and off the field
"Samurai are committed to partnering with us not only at home, but also further afield as we look build the Chiefs brand far and wide around the world. They not only understand our brand and our heritage, but have produced playing kits that not only incorporate those values, but ensure our team and our supporters look good when sporting our colours."
Samurai Sportswear Sales Director, Mike Pells, added: "Samurai Sportswear and Exeter Chiefs are excited to continue our close working partnership, and both brand and club have worked hard to develop fully bespoke performance teamwear and supporters’ ranges for the 2019-20 season.
"Samurai’s ability to design, manufacture and deliver truly bespoke teamwear and performance match wear enables both Exeter Chiefs players and supporters to look and feel unique. Everyone at Samurai is looking forward to what promises to be a fantastic World Cup season.”
The new Exeter Chiefs home and cup kits will be available to purchase from Saturday, both at the Quay and also online via the club's official website.
