@kirwan That's a small rectangle.

size is subjective......

Never heard of them or noticed them on the French Jersey. Glad that they are paying top dollar to get on the world's most iconic sporting uniform. Should pay a few bills for NZR.

It will be white. Remember when AIG got the gig, the players said they couldn't have the border around the logo on the AB jersey. I doubt whether 50 mill a year is right, that would make jersey $40 mill a year seems a bit doesn''t it?

Anything other than a white logo with white letters on a black jersey will be brand suicide.

I mean, who in their right mind would buy a black jersey with a big red square on it?

At least, that's for the ABs.

They may sacrific the integrity of the black jersey for other teams, like they did with the white border of the AIG logo, which appears on all black team jerseys, except the All Blacks'.

Barbarians, obviously.

Beat me to it.

Edit: I checked before I #booboo'ed

@kiwiwomble you don't pay $50M a year to just go on the chest

This post should be more appreciated.

“In the contract, a partnership between the MHR and the All Blacks is also planned: exchanges of skills will take place in particular at the level of coaches, training and, in addition, four matches of the All Blacks will be played in Montpellier between 2022 and 2026,” Altrad told French rugby website rugbyrama.

“It will then be necessary to find a credible and international opposition. We will not make them face the MHR, in plain language. Four games over the term of the contract: All Blacks, All Blacks B, Maori and Black Ferns, New Zealand women’s team.”

GGL Stadium only has a capacity of 15,697 so it would have to be a tier 2 team. The football stadium has twice the capacity, but probably too small for a test against France.

[Kiwiwomble]

that makes a lot more sense, theyre going to get a lot more out of it than just the brand on the front

And it will be All Blacks XV in all but name, mid week test or something.

[Kiwiwomble]

As expected, No worse than AIG

[Kirwan]

Yeah not terrible

[Bovidae]

The Black Ferns have a rounded collar, which is common in a lot of other men's jerseys.

I'll stick with RWC jerseys, that's ok but meh. Altrad is a fluffybunny

[Kiwiwomble]

that seems pretty low key, kind of want to see what someone different would do

Not sure this is the right place, but I couldn't find another thread:

There was a solid rumour that Nike was going to take over.. I guess Adidas had to increase their payments to keep this

https://www.allblacks.com/news/nzr-look-to-the-future-and-renew-long-standing-partnership-with-adidas/

”adidas will continue to provide NZR’s Teams in Black, including the All Blacks, Black Ferns, All Blacks Sevens, Black Ferns Sevens, Māori All Blacks, All Blacks XV, New Zealand Under 20, and Heartland XV, with playing kit, apparel, boots, and footwear”

That’s an exhaustive list. No mention of SR teams?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Duluth thats interesting, i have noticed over the years the super teams dropping stuff like boots, they no longer all wear adidas and recently balls have gone back to gilbert
