@frugby they're 2024/25 as all of the modern ones bar 2013 have been
Really? All the Highlanders releases talk about this being for 2024.

I guess we will see. All other four teams marketing as for 2024.
i think thats just how they normally do it, i thought the franchises them selves had been doing 2 yearly cycles for ages..and the 2022 jersey is just the same as the 2023 one

@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
I'm not suggesting that at all, the Highlanders quite literally talk of the connections of the colours... but to suggest that teams need to have x colours to represent x teams is a little bit silly.
Would you rather the Highlanders play a game in Invercargill or have half the jersey maroon?
not sure how to reconcile agreeing that they talk about their connections to the colours of the unions...but say
"These teams carry their own identities, even if the colours are similar."
...all some of us were saying was if the teams are claiming the connection to the unions through the colours...would be cool to see some more of it, and maybe more than just the "major" union
and i know people from invercargill that would rather have the maroon jersey than one game a year in invercargill...especially if its only ever someone like the force or rebels and never a big game, to see their connection to team on tv :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone: ....but im also wondering why its either or...why not games out of the major centres AND jerseys representing the smaller unions

I'm more so speculating that they may have changed this with the new kit supplier... it might be that Adidas said they'd only do a new bespoke kit every two years.

@frugby my recollection was it was the teams or NZR saying they didn't want people to be in a position of 'having too' buy a new jersey every year...but i dont have the motivation to search for where i might have seen that

Best is Blues retro, worst is saders home IMO
@Machpants agreed. I think the best training jersey was hands down the Highlanders aswell.
-
I had a quick look at the local Rebel Sport and they have absolutely no Adidas SR jerseys on display so I assume that they sold out of stock a long time ago.
@Bovidae in my experience when i got back to NZ lots of rebel stores didnt carry much stock to start with (might be different in the big centres)

@george33 ...we'll probably keep talking about them for as long as we like but thanks

All great, doesn't play apart in the game,move on
Well jerseys do play a pretty critical role in a match. Really helpful in helping us as fans distiniguish which team is which. You see, it may be fairly difficult for the players and fans to decipher what is happening if everyone ran around topless.

@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.

did you see any other chatter about when the others might drop? who do you follow?

I excluded blues retro, because the retro ones are always going to be the best you'd think... but yes, pick of the bunch if included.

@Kiwiwomble I have a page myself so get a few insights from people involved, couple of others. CC Jersey, the guy you shared on here gave me that info. I heard from a friend who's other friend designs a certain teams jersey that Classic was gonna be the kit supplier in March but was sworn to absolute secrecy.
