Handley proud to wear special Magic shirt again
Leeds Rhinos and England star Ash Handley says he will be proud to wear the special Magic Weekend shirt up at Newcastle in June after the Rhinos launched the special design to celebrate the life of Doddie Weir, the MND Champion who was a mentor for our own Rob Burrow.
To help continue Doddie’s legacy and to show our appreciation for the support he gave Rob Burrow, £10 from the sale of every replica shirt will be donated to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
The shirt design incorporates the distinctive Doddie Weir tartan and features the former British and Irish Lions details on the inside collar along with a quote from Rob Burrow on the reverse of the collar saying ‘Thanks for showing us the way’. Along both sleeves is a quote from Doddie that reads, ‘Whatever your situation, make the most you can of each and every day. Be nice to people, and laugh as much as possible.’
To maximise the impact of the tartan, the club’s major partners have kindly agreed for this shirt to have monotone logos and the Rhinos would like to thank them all for their support in making this distinctive shirt design possible. The white shorts also feature the tartan design on side panels.
The replica kit is available to buy online, adult shirts are sized S to 6XL with Ladies shirts available in sizes 8-18, with prices for both frozen at £49.99 for the third season running. Junior shirts are £39.99 in sizes age 6 to 14 with toddler kits, age 0 to 4, priced at £39.99. Adult and junior replica shorts are also available.
