The Biarritz Olympique is rediscovering a scene that it knew well in the early 2000s: the European scene. The EPCR Challenge Cup starts this weekend, with this trip to the Italians of Zebre Parma on Saturday 11 December at 2 p.m. On this occasion, the club unveiled its “third” jersey. A jersey that makes the supporters cringe, especially the Miarritzeko Mutilak who reacted strongly on social networks. To talk about it tonight, their vice-president Nathan Cardet, around our casting ***** Yann Blanchard and Vincent Corret.
Historically, it is the clubs involved in the European Cup that wear these jerseys. They were added to the two traditional jerseys: the first which marks the identity of the club and the second which is normally used to play away and which was the “negative” jersey, that is to say the exact reverse of the first outfit. But for several years now, the use of the “third” jersey has become widespread in the world of professional sport, and by corollary in rugby. Does this jersey really have a sporting interest? Or has it become a purely marketing product?
