The introduction of the special edition jerseys will celebrate Toyota's leadership in environmental technology and the introduction of the Auris Hybrid (HSD). Auris is the first Toyota model in Ireland since Prius to benefit from this technology.
The new look Munster jerseys will feature a Toyota Auris Hybrid logo in place of the normal 'Toyota' main sponsor logo. Toyota intends to launch three additional Hybrid models into its range in 2012.
In addition, 17 of the special edition jerseys will be donated to a charity which can then be used for fundraising for the selected organization. Toyota will utilize its Facebook page platform as a means for the public to nominate their charity of choice, during the month of February, with those picked at random being awarded the jerseys after the Heineken Cup pool stages in January. Munster Rugby will donate three jerseys to its preferred charities and the remaining three will be presented to the Munster Supporters Club.
The first sight of the new look jerseys will be at Munster's first round Heineken Cup pool clash with last year's finalists Northampton Saints at Thomond Park on 12th November.
