In 2014, the Lions Trust met with the desire to bring all players together somehow, to create something to unite them, connecting the generations and providing recognition of each player’s contribution to the heritage of the Lions.
In the years that followed, the Trust began a very special project to bestow upon each Lion an official number, signifying the order they first crossed the whitewash in the famous red jersey, alongside a unique embroidered cap. Each cap is a one-off, hand stitched and bears the unique playing number awarded only to players who have played competitively, wearing the Lions jersey. Only one has been, and will ever be, produced with each Lions number.
In 2017 we began the process of tracking down each and every Lion and presenting them with their Lions number and cap. Watch this short video filmed in 2018 featuring Tom Grace (former chairman), Ronnie Dawson and Sam Warburton to find out more…
