I reckon that would make a better home jersey. The blue is pretty but could have had the same design worked into it. That's choice. If they release T-shirt versions, I'll be a buyer.
These are their training tees. Not quite the same design though.

The irony is the Brumbies squad looks awfully like an ACT branch of Moana Pasifika anyway.

If it was in landscape, and could see most of the team at a time, maybe.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before? A couple of other franchises were chasing his signature
McClutchie held conversations with several teams for the 2022 campaign, including the Crusaders and Hurricanes. However, Moana Pasifika came to him early in the piece, and he jumped at the opportunity for a role the size of which he likely wouldn't have had with other franchises. -

International powerhouse and Wallaby Test centurion Sekope Kepu will Captain Moana Pasifika for their debut season in Super Rugby Pacific. Kepu’s duty gets under way with this Friday’s pre-season game against the Gallagher Chiefs at Mt Smart Stadium. With 110 Test caps and three Rugby World Cup campaigns to his name, Sydney-born Kepu has been a natural choice for the Moana men. Kepu was the first prop to reach the 100 Test milestone for Australia and he is their most capped prop of all time. In total, Kepu has played 295 first-class matches including 141 appearances for the Waratahs and he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the emerging talent of Moana Pasifika.
