What's the 'uso symbol', btw?
This from stuff. And I hope the jersey looks ok on the field. As it looks ok in some photos but awful in others
*And at the heart of the on-pitch jersey is an emblem made up of 14 differently sized ferns, which signifies the diversity and differing experience of the current squad.
“Completing the emblem, the crest of the team acts as the 15th fern, with each facing inwards to create the “USO” mark; a Samoan term meaning brother, in honour of the bond between the All Blacks.”*

Yup, that's what I meant. What is the USO mark? What does it look like?

Designed by a french dude. They should have got a kiwi to design it.
Also in conjunction with ABs, and you know the French outfit actually knit the fabric!

For the RWC in France and with a French sponsor

Yep but ABs jerseys are always made overseas, did you se the programme on Adidas actually working on designs and fabric for the jerseys I think it was before last WC? There were sets made up and trialled secretly in games. Was all done in Germany.

Not sure i like it ,
But im sure ill come to love it if its a successful year
ive got a superstition in world cup years , never buy the jersey unless we win ,
Brought the grey one in 07 , fucken hate it
in 11 and 15 brought them after we won with the cup on the sleeve .

@Duluth Me and you both mate. Love the fact that others buy them, and I will buy ather supporters' gear at times, but never a jersey. Old fashioned in that way, earning the right etc.
And add to fact, it just has to be a Black jersey I pretty happy with whatever jersey is.@Dan54 said in All Blacks 2023:

It's a piece of merchandise. Not one single person who sees you in it thinks "oh fuck that guy played for the ABs"
Earned the right.... jesus

I bought 2019. It'll never see the light of day. Not even on Halloween. 2011 was the last RWC ABs jersey with the silver fern and other decals actually stitched on. None of those transfers there. Had a white collar too

still regret not getting a 2011 non world cup jersey, no sponsor...white "collar"

So go and buy one then. I live my life how I want, why does it worry you? I never buy any jerseys , but will buy other merchandise if I want.
So tell me why it worries you how I feel? -

@canefan I liked the 15 , thought that strip looked pretty cool, awesome team and performances probably had a bit to do with it too

shows the pattern might catch the light quick easily...

That's even worse. WTF were NZR thinking giving Adidas the greenlight for that abomination?
-
I actually like the polo, and may get one. Just out of interest the ABs were just on tv in their jerseys and couldn't even really see the design on it! Think it maybe slightly different to supporters ones?

@ACT-Crusader I've had a shit of a day, I scan read it as the one he was wearing

All good bro, or should I say uso
-
The patterns are shit. I assume they'll be like previous jerseys and the scribbles won't be that visible in normal light

I've got the 2007 WC jersey, which if you take away what happened in the tournament, is a cool supporters shirt
I've also got that weird polo they released over a decade ago that looks like an English ODI shirtBut my fav is the pink training singlet they use at the moment. Sick piece of kit
All are better than the dull Hawaiian shirt pictured above

Actually looks good. Unless I'm missing the snail trails

@mariner4life 07 jersey was the first one to have the cups on the sleeve right?

Yeah I think so? So it only has the solitary one... very out of date
The side panelling has a fern design in it too I think?
