Club socks take centre stage at Saints v London Irish

Northampton Saints’ clash with London Irish this evening will bring the local rugby community to the heart of Franklin’s Gardens as the men in Black, Green and Gold don community club colours. 

Taking the spirit of rugby clubs throughout the region with them onto the hallowed turf, Saints will replace their usual match socks with those from 22 clubs across Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Suffolk – creating an explosion of colour across the Gardens.

The 22 clubs involved will also send a member of their minis or junior section onto the pitch as team mascots when the sides take to the field.

And ahead of the team taking to the field this evening, each player has been paired with a club from across Saints’ region; you can see which clubs will be represented this evening below.
