@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.

@Daffy-Jaffy
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.
Stad Francais are world ugly Jersey champions several times over I think.
I could go on but I may have over stayed my welcome. -
@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.

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

@mariner4life sorry I can't hear you past actually winning the Ranfurly Shield within the past decade.

@mariner4life nah, he claims to have made peace with that....

@taniwharugby The Ranfurly Shield is like Amy Schumer, when you've made off with Scarlett Johansson at the big Premiership dance!

Young whippersnapper.
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!
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!

Super Rugby's regional rivalry has been sacrificed for the greater good and the Highlanders have been the main benefactors
Super Rugby is no longer a tournament divided by regional lines. Instead, New Zealand's best players all get to show what they’re capable of – regardless of where they hail from.

Nakarawa
Probably posted elsewhere as it's old news but he's gone back to the Glasgow Warriors.

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

And people say that putting AIG on the jerseys cheapened the All Black legacy, not showing these three in one:
-
@antipodean It Reminds me of Australian Rugby putting a Wallaby jersey on a muppet like Nick Cummins or The Honey Badger or Bunny badger what ever he was called.
