    It’s ok

    The Blues can’t have a good jersey while they have the massive green nib panel

    It’ll never happen, but I’d like navy blue and cambridge blue hoops representing Auckland and Northland. Maybe black shorts for Harbour.. no maroon

      The Harlequin style special Blues jersey they wore a couple of times a few years ago was sweet.

          @Stargazer what a crock, how the marketing team sold that concept πŸ™„

          Amazing how they can take a simple rugby jersey and try to justify why it looks shit.

          Was this only a training Jersey? One of the better looking ones IMO.

            Common sense would suggest that the away jersey or training jersey should incorporate the colours of other provinces within the franchise if they aren't featured in the main jersey.

              @taniwharugby was that a jersey or a t-shirt?

              We use to have a jersey with those maroon stripes on the shoulders. No cambridge blue on it though.

                    @Dice that's the 2000 jersey so maybe it was designed in 99 when Northland was still a Chiefs territory then they switched and didn't wanna redesign.

                        @KiwiMurph I thought they switched at the end of the 90s as the Chiefs still had blue on their kit.

                          Looks like the actual version might be a bit brighter which improves it somewhat.

                          @KiwiMurph Looks like a shattered window maybe the correct design then. or a very bad tile design in a bathroom.

                            @Yeetyaah They switched from the 1999 season. I actually went to a Chiefs home game (vs NSW) at Albany.

                              I'm willing to wager a substantial sum that marketing tried to justify that horrid design rather than went to a designer with those words first.

                              The person responsible for that should have their crayons taken away.

                                  The Chiefs were meant to be based in Harbour. Most of the unions that made up the Chiefs wanted Hamilton and they won an appeal against the NZRFU
