2024 Super Rugby jerseys

I hope that jersey matches how they play this year.
Not a fan of the Crusaders jersey at all.

@Stargazer Pretty bad yeah hahaha, the away version looks a little nicer IMO.

There is a lack of imagination with the colours used so far. The Highlanders is the best to date even if they have only reversed the blue and maroon on the jerseys.

What colours do you want them to use?
Lime, pink, orange?

...yeah, happy with ours, training jersey is cool too
i find it interesting when charities sponsor teams, is that the best use of the money? or have the crusaders given them a discount to help raise awareness/profile

For the Blues, as an example, I liked when previous away jerseys included some maroon (of NH) or the sky blue. Surely you would be happy with the latter colour used?

@Bovidae kind of feel its the least the teams can do, make the away jerseys colours associated with the other unions in their region
either that or we should incorporate more colours in the home kit, Highlanders Blue and Maroon stripes or quarters like last years U20 kit

Be careful not to conflate. The only Super Rugby team which truly carries the colour of its NPC base is the Crusaders with the red and black.
Since 2014 the Highlanders have worn navy predominately, with other shades of dark blue rather than the royal blue and gold of Otago.
Since the start of Super Rugby, the Hurricanes have worn predominantly yellow, and have only got more so over the years, rather than Wellington's black with some yellow.
Since around 2000, the Chiefs have worn a predominantly black strip, with the Waikato colours as secondary tones... the blue of BOP has disappeared granted, but the colours are largely separate.
Finally, since around 2000, the Blues have worn a primarily royal blue/plain blue strip, rather than the traditional white blue and dark hoops of Auckland.
These teams carry their own identities, even if the colours are similar.

@frugby it seems a little thin to suggest that these teams are claiming a completely different identity just by changing the shade of the colour they use, the HIghlanders arent separating themselves from Otago/southland just by having different shades of blue and maroon, they are 100% trying to have a connection to their regions by keeping these colour combos that are similar to their home unions

"In a humble gesture, the Crusaders have allocated the prime front-of-jersey sponsor space on their retail home jerseys to KidsCan. As part of this collaboration, the Crusaders will donate $5 from the sale of every jersey sold through the Crusaders shop directly to KidsCan."

@Mr-Fish thats good, although surprising they can afford to forgo sponsorship dollars
-
@Yeetyaah nice, i assumed they would drop heritage jerseys another time but we might get them today
@Kiwiwomble from what I've heard from other jersey guys on Instagram, the Blues heritage is the only one that was ready, so unsure if the others will be coming. Would have to assume they'll all be of the 98/99 Temex jerseys.
-
@Yeetyaah that one should be the main jersey IMO.
I hope the Canes drop their jerseys today.

@Yeetyaah you would think they pretty much only have the TEMEX or 96 jerseys to pick from when doing a heritage jersey
would love to see the sales stats at the end of the season, how well the heritage jerseys sell compared to "main" ones

@Kiwiwomble yeah, Chiefs also had a diff design in 97. The training jerseys from that era also look pretty good.
