Frenchies...

Classic. None of that navy blue rubbish. I don't remember them going with Le Coq Sportif before though, I always remember them as Adidas with a short stint in Nike

I have a vague recollection of a time when they were Le Coq Sportif. Couldn't tell you when though.

Good memory, looks like it was last associated with rugby in the 1980s

@Bovidae 300 available.

Yeah the numbering is a good idea, mine is 226.

I also bought a limited edition Waikato Ranfurly Shield millennium jersey back in 2000. Never worn it but had intended to get it framed.

This comes in a box with a certificate (no.25 of 500). It has the old-fashioned design from the early 1900s.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Mine's 11/300. Dang the Waikato one sounds sweet.

[westcoastie]

@Bovidae photos?

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae By old fashioned design do you mean the original Waikato colours of black, blue and white?

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah No, red, yellow and black.

@westcoastie I will take some photos.

Edit: See below. The RS history is now outdated. I've never seen another of these jerseys.

[westcoastie]

Irish Jersey. Spoiler alert - its green

[westcoastie]

Scotland - those shorts are going to be bloody interesting.

[westcoastie]

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Jesus Christ dude that's insane. Lucky guy. Must have cost a bit.

I think they call it a head.

I just noticed my work shirt has a similar raised thing, glad I know what to call it now, thanks.

@Bovidae that jersey is a hate crime

@westcoastie Fiji always have a good jersey. I've got their 2011 one (i knew the local Kooga rep who hooked me up)

[Machpants]

@mariner4life How long have they had "Flying Fijians" on there? I've not noticed before.

Well, got one of the blue training jerseys to match my all black jersey. It's sensational ... but holy crap there is a weird ass animal head on the back.

with, like a third eye on fire on the forehead? Weird, but awesome

What the hell? That's shockingly bad but in the best possible way.

Are they trying to emphasise the no dickheads policy? Because I see a pussy...with 3 eyes...

So, it turns out
The fusing of Maori and Japanese design aesthetics also extends to the design of the training jersey the All Blacks will wear at Rugby World Cup 2019. Taking inspiration from the Maori concept of kaitiaki (guardianship) and the Japanese fuku neko (lucky cat), the Y-3 team has designed a mythical cat figure which will adorn the back of the training jersey. The training range also includes a performance tee, performance singlet, polo shirt and hoodie.
