Canterbury 2020

By the way, thoughts on the new Canterbury jersey?
At first glance I thought they'd brought back the 1993 - 2002 (or so) jersey, which I disliked immensely at the time as it always evoked memories of losses to the likes of King Country, but now I look back on fondly as the jersey Canterbury wore not only during some dark times, but during the rebirth of the province as a national force.
Alas, this new jersey just has a graduating fade. And it looks shit.
Give me plain red (actually, scarlet officially) and black hoops, any day and all day thank you. No white bits, no yellow trim (what a horrific combination red, black and yellow is) and certainly no graduating fucking fade.
Hopefully the training tee or alternate jersey are worth a look.

@shark I don't think they were wearing a new jersey, last Friday. It looks like the jersey they usually wear during preseason games. The only thing that looks different is the white band with the sponsor's name.
Compare: first, a photo of last Friday's game; then the video of last year's preseason game against Ta$man.

@Stargazer Well done, and I hope you're right.

@Stargazer rings a bell actually, and may even have been me haha. Unsure why a cash-strapped union would want a special pre-season jersey anyway. What's the point??

Donaldson is a HB
Fihaki wing/FB
Both Punivais are centres but could be used on the wing.

@Stargazer Ngane Punivai first position is wing, Fihaki is wing/midfield, Scott Mellow is usually a hooker. He played for Taranaki for a while

Mellow is a TH Prop play for Mari st Albion Punivai was always a centre in CHCh but was used on the Wing sometimes. Fihaki plays all his rugby in the Crusader Knights and in club for HSOB as a wing /FB never seen him in the centres
