Cornish Pirates Unveil 20th Anniversary Shirt – Fans and Players Honoured in Unique Design

The Cornish Pirates have revealed a special edition jersey celebrating 20 years of the club’s history, honouring both past and present players as well as the dedicated supporters who have stood by the team.

A Shirt That Tells a Story

Produced by SAMURAI, powered by Kitlocker, the commemorative jersey features the names of players who have made 50 or more appearances for the club. In a unique move, loyal fans were also given the chance to have their names included, marking their support in a permanent way.

Ross Hancock, Head of Media Marketing & Commercial at the Cornish Pirates, described the significance of the jersey:

“This jersey is to mark 20 years of the Cornish Pirates, our past, our future, our now. With the recent news of new investment and fan ownership, it is perfect timing to celebrate our brief, but successful history. Players who have made 50 or more appearances for the club have their names engrained on the jersey, but uniquely we offered our loyal supporters to join them on the jersey with a huge take up. It’s a really powerful message that shows how close a relationship we have with our supporters and local community.”

A New Era with Fan Ownership

The launch of the jersey comes at a pivotal time for the Cornish Pirates, following recent investment and the move towards fan ownership. This latest chapter in the club’s history reflects a deep connection between the team and its supporters, a bond now stitched into the very fabric of the new jersey.

SAMURAI and Kitlocker Partnership

The jersey is the latest product from SAMURAI, a brand recently acquired by Kitlocker in 2024. Kitlocker has built on its strong partnership with SAMURAI, using its expertise in the teamwear market to elevate the brand and continue its legacy with clubs worldwide.

With the unveiling of this special edition shirt, the Cornish Pirates continue to celebrate their history while looking ahead to an exciting future.
