By Martin Booth  Monday Oct 12, 2020

Bristol’s one internationally recognised landmark will accompany Bristol Bears on their international journey next season.

The club’s new kit for their European games will make its first appearance on Friday when Bristol take on Toulon in the final of the European Challenge Cup.

The striking black and pink jersey featuring the Clifton Suspension Bridge will be worn in Aix-en-Provence as the Bears bid for a first ever European title.
