Blues 2020

[Jonty lean]

All teams last years Jersey looked better

[Duluth]

It’s ok

The Blues can’t have a good jersey while they have the massive green nib panel

It’ll never happen, but I’d like navy blue and cambridge blue hoops representing Auckland and Northland. Maybe black shorts for Harbour.. no maroon

[KiwiMurph]

The Harlequin style special Blues jersey they wore a couple of times a few years ago was sweet.

@Stargazer what a crock, how the marketing team sold that concept 🙄

Amazing how they can take a simple rugby jersey and try to justify why it looks shit.

Was this only a training Jersey? One of the better looking ones IMO.

[Bovidae]

Common sense would suggest that the away jersey or training jersey should incorporate the colours of other provinces within the franchise if they aren't featured in the main jersey.

[Dice]

@taniwharugby was that a jersey or a t-shirt?

We use to have a jersey with those maroon stripes on the shoulders. No cambridge blue on it though.

[KiwiMurph]

@taniwharugby I have that one. It was a performance/training T shirt.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph looks good though

That's ugly too @Dice

[Yeetyaah]

@Dice that's the 2000 jersey so maybe it was designed in 99 when Northland was still a Chiefs territory then they switched and didn't wanna redesign.

[KiwiMurph]

@Yeetyaah Northland was part of the Blues in 99.

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph I thought they switched at the end of the 90s as the Chiefs still had blue on their kit.

[Chris]

@KiwiMurph Looks like a shattered window maybe the correct design then. or a very bad tile design in a bathroom.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah They switched from the 1999 season. I actually went to a Chiefs home game (vs NSW) at Albany.

@Stargazer said in Blues 2020:

I'm willing to wager a substantial sum that marketing tried to justify that horrid design rather than went to a designer with those words first.

The person responsible for that should have their crayons taken away.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae yea i went to one in 97 at Albany where the Chiefs hosted the Blues.

The Chiefs were meant to be based in Harbour. Most of the unions that made up the Chiefs wanted Hamilton and they won an appeal against the NZRFU

[Dice]

The shorts and socks look good though...

Seeing Beaudie in a Blues uniform makes me feel a little better about the jerseys. It's too bad we have to win our title(s) in this jersey though.

Fuck Kaino is awesome. Everyone else look knackered. Kaino just looks nails

Listed as the Kids home jersey on a retail site so I guess the team one will be much the same -

Crusaders marketing team one, "we just convinced the crusaders that changing from a badass knight to two sets of cocks and balls touching was a great design idea! Top that"

Blues marketing team "hold my beer"

Have the canes unleashed this years atrocity yet? I'm setting my expectations to low based on that thing in the picture.
