@daffy-jaffy awesome vid, thanks. Great to see the cultural mix being celebrated

These are probably my favorite Blues jerseys.

We need a retro jersey round.

Was it a couple of years ago when the Chiefs wore their retro kit?

Love love love the super jerseys from that era.

@gunner the players all weighed a few kegs more once those got wet 😅

[Yeetyaah]

@dice chiefs did it in 2019, I picked up one of the legit jerseys and it's super nice.

It's funny that the lock/loose forward in that pic looks the smallest.

@kiwimurph blue hair makes me feel old.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Would look so much better if he had a blue beard and mo, too! Going full smurf mode.

@nzzp hey the pink worked a treat for him last year. Whatever works.

Was just thinking that, Jonah and Joeli must have been terrrifying for all the pipsqueaks they had to mark in those days

It was mentioned in an article that Tuipulotu has the same hair

Reminds me of Slade McFarland

Then stop doing it?

The "blue rinse brigade" used to be a name for old women who didn't like grey and had conservative views then along came the pink rinse lot.

Some of our players don't seem to know where they stand (on defence as well). We have all seen them play like old women too sadly.

[nzzp]

@snowy that's a reach, even for you.

The thing I didn't like about the blonde phase was it was so distinctive it got hard to tell players apart on the field! And I'm getting old and my eyesight is going

[Snowy]

@nzzp They don't seem to realise that all having the same "distinctive" hair defeats the purpose somewhat.

Maybe it is all a team bonding thing and improving the culture...but I still believe that all rugby boots should be black too.

Probably bad timing but here is a great article on the 2003 Blues side:

Murray Kinsella  /  Apr 15, 2021

King Carlos, Caucau, Dougie, and the most exciting club team of the pro era

The Blues ripped up the Super 12 in 2003 with a thrilling group of players.
