pretty cool, i do love the irony of a landlocked region with the boat and ocean on the front of their jersey
Jervis Bay used to be their 'Danzig'. During WWI they annexed it (jawohl, I am not making this up) and controlled it as a sea port until just before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Is that a scene from the film Moana on the front of the jersey?

That fellow doesn't look sufficiently, shall we say, 'stout'.

@stargazer ha that was my thought, maybe one of the original sketches!

i am pretty sure that is the worst jersey i have ever seen. Yes, even worse than the Waikato NPC one
a fucking picture on the front of a rugby jersey? hilarious
at least Australian Rugby can recognise it's player base. While the NRL and AFL are in the middle of indigenous round, Aussie Rugby is giving a shout out to the Pacific Islands, the source of 65% of all rugby players in this country.
That wasn't lost on me either. I'm all for the NRL doing something to recognise Aboriginal players and culture, but there are vastly more PI players now in the NRL than Aboriginal. So it seems a bit off to recognise the contribution of one players base and not the other. But I guess the PI influence is more recent and not as ingrained culturally as that of the Aboriginal.

Designed by an "Instagram influencer" by the name of Angelique Sloss who certainly doesn't look like she has any experience or connection to Polynesian culture or design.
Nice one, Brumbies!

i honestly dont think its any worse than most of the Warriors "special" jerseys or any of the Marvel ones
I wouldn't buy it but it doesn't stand out amongst many other bad jerseys
-
@kiwiwomble what have the warriors got to do with it?
-
@bones just that they put out several jerseys every year and quite a few of them have been pretty extreme designs

I hadn't noticed them. Because, whoop dee doo! It's not a league thread

You're right! I think it's actually ok now, cos have you guys seen some of the shirts the darts guys wear? And at least it's not as atrocious as those gaaaaaay cycling tops.
Thanks for opening my eyes.

I agree, this seems to be a weird Fern meltdown over a not great but not bad jersey.
Remember this existed and it was worn throughout the season:
