Blues claiming they are doing a new heritage jersey.
1996 perhaps?
Yep new heritage jerseys are coming made with the old school fabric as I mentioned above. I know which ones the Chiefs are doing so would assume the others might do the same era.

@Yeetyaah im assuming theyre not going to be playing in exactly the same jersey, theyll want modern fabrics

Jordan Petaia(Reds and Wallaby) is off to the states to join the NFL International Player Pathway in 2025. Big loss for the Reds and Aussie rugby, especially at the age of 24. Writing was on the wall when he wasn’t named in the squad but now there’s confirmation of his departure.

He's a bag of injuries held together by a nucleus of proper talent.
I wish him all the best, but wonder if he's going to break something in IPP

From insta stories, it does look like the Chiefs and others have a white training shirt, which looks quite neat, but it still hasn't been released and we aren't that far away from Xmas. Strange timing.
-
@gt12 The black training t-shirt is on sale but not the white version. Maybe for players-only.
I'm not a fan of the design myself.

Typical amateur approach by the super teams, looks like full ranges (minus chiefs) on rebel sports already…but little to no promotion and only the home jersey on the highlanders shop at least

Highlanders jersey

@gt12 agreed, even if people dont like it inherently of abjectly...you have to like the fact its something different, Ive felt for a while our highlander/scottish stuff is a little played out...or not played enough. I think its either time to either identify something like this as a point of difference (ie always have bands of these colours around the cuffs of under the arms)....or we need to actually have panels if tartan.....plane blue jerseys is so boring

btw, looks like the away jersey is really playing up the Southland angle too:

The logo on the back is a new thing isn't it?

I personally find the Scottish thing a bit silly, but I'm not from there. The Southern lights feels much more NZ to me and those designs actually set the jersey apart. I don't usually buy merch for other teams, but that is neat.
@gt12 agreed, i think the scottish thing COULD be ok but you need to actually commit and have a design language with tartan and stuff...but the aurora is a bit different, think i even saw the Forsyth Barr roof lit up like the aurora which is cool

That's a sweet design - bit of a throwback to some of their 90s playing jerseys.

My expectation would be that the next jersey has more of an explosion or colour.
From 2012 onwards Landers jersies were always very Minimalist with two tones of blue. From 2014-2019 there was a Scottish design, 2020-23 were a bit different - nice but boring.
IMO, the first classic jersies were probably rushed and they can learn from the reception of the retro jersies
