    A bit late but I can't wait till they go back to simple designs and solid colours for jerseys.

      @mofitzy_ Hallelujah - This was a limited edition Blues jersey that quickly sold out and they had to make more. You think they would learn from history.

        Crazy thing is if you look at most top sports leagues, the designs are simple (NFL, NBA, most soccer/football kits), so it's not as if they are following trends with these designs.

          @mofitzy_ you are right. It seems to be mostly Rugby teams who try to out ugly each others Jreseys. I think the trend stated in Europe, France especially.

            @Daffy-Jaffy I was watching the History of rugby and the Stades owner said he wanted to make rugby more like entertainment and make it appeal to women hence the colour.

              And if you listen to their fans, they still think any new Jersey is ugly. I'm a jets fan (for my sins), and they released a new Jersey this year that was basically a slightly different shade of green with a white stripe on each shoulder. Fan base likes the green, but still thinks the jerseys are hideous.

              Fans hate change.

                The Waikato jersey is still the world's ugliest. Especially paired with those white shorts

                            I recall listening to the game on 2ZA where Chippie Semenoff kicked the penalty.

                            I was torn as we'd not long shifted from Northland.

                              I had to google to see when you last held the Shield. Seems like you might have attracted a "Curse of the Bambino" due to your disgraceful conduct as shield holders! πŸ™‚

                              You might need to have an exorcism at Okara Park - send offerings to Otago and Southland, summon and worship Laurie Mains, sacrifice a few virgins if you can find them...that sort of thing!

                                      Because it doesn't relate to 2020, and lacking a better thread to post this, I'll post this here.

                                        Tim Perry.. of all the players who had multiple starts for the Blues he was the worst. Second place is miles behind him. Think of all the crap players that played for the Blues over the decades Tim Perry was number one. Well done.
