Chiefs 2020

I'm okay with it. Looks like a mixture of the 2 previous years. Not a fan of the back though. Prefer the feature on the front only.
-
@Yeetyaah And this one looks like they run out of colour. Not bad, but just not as good as the one from a few years back.
That training jersey is awful (well, the front is). -
@Stargazer The training jersey makes up for the colour. Which one are you referring to?
-
@Stargazer Ah man I hated this one. Preferred the one from 18/19.

You think they would know that all these small fussy patterns just dont work on the field and especially on TV Here is the 2020 Reds jersey. What a rugby jersey should look like.

Those jerseys both suck

Yep. They only see it as merchandise, so as something worn by the people who buy it. They don't seem to consider at all how it looks on players during the game.

About the Gallagher Chiefs Jerseys:
https://www.chiefs.co.nz/news-item/new-2020-gallagher-chiefs-jerseys-launched
Gallagher Chiefs Home Jersey:
The front part of the jersey is dedicated to Tūmatauenga (Tū) and qualities of battle. Tū is the figure adorning the centre poupou (pillar). Rurutangiākau is also displayed on the centre poupou.The dominant figure of Akerautangi is the two-headed taniwhā prominent on the front and the rear of the jersey and wrapped around the centre poupou (pillar).
The front infill also depicts wai (water) the dwelling place of taniwhā and the feature that connects the Chiefs regions.
The back of the jersey is dedicated to Rongomatane (Rongo) and qualities of preparation and planning. Rongo is the figure on the poupou with Akerautangi featuring again wrapped around the poupou.
The infill graphics for the rear of the jersey are kōriri (to flourish) and speak for the need to prepare well for battle.
Gallagher Chiefs Training Jersey:
This jersey is dedicated to Rongomatane (Rongo) and qualities of preparation and planning. Rongo is the figure on the poupou with Akerautangi featuring wrapped around the poupou.The infill or the rear of the jersey are kōriri (meaning to flourish) and harakeke (meaning cohesion and unity) and speak for the need to prepare well for games.
The three woven harakeke baskets have two meanings. Firstly, they represent, ngā kete o te wānanga (meaning the three baskets of knowledge), telling us that knowledge acquisition is all important in game preparation. Secondly the Māori axiom “Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi” meaning “Your food basket and mine will sustain the tribe”, outlines the importance of individual contribution and nutrition while preparing for battle.

@Bovidae Thanks for posting that, it clears up things for the moment that Super Rugby designates them as "Teams". Heaven help us if anyone starts referring to the All Blacks as a "Club" along the lines some misguided people outside of this website forum can be prone to do when referring to the Super Rugby TEAMS.

It's been done. Usually ignorant Johnny Foreigner (Aussie) press.

Except that they're called the Reds.

Any video with Lats in it gets a like regardless of how average the shirt is (it's a good story though, I'll admit).
