@mariner4life SANZA has the cream of the marketing crop. Every facet is perfect.

The Hurricanes jersey derscription:
The road cutting on SH2 between Dannevirke and Waipukurau may be about to slip, and the Lower North Island-based Hurricanes also brim with landslide-like menace at every home match. Displaying a graphic that mimics the layers (or stratum) of sedimentary rocks exposed on a bog-standard road cutting , this men's rugby jersey pulses with impending avalanche like peril.

Whoever wrote that should be hunted down and tortured.

ffs the Blues franchise is just such a non-stop avalanche of bed-shitting ineptitude. They just can't help themsleves. It just goes on and on and fucking on. Every fucking year.
those things arent even rugby jerseys. here, designer fluffybunnies, here's a fucken rugby jersey design,, took me all of 3 minutes to knock up on MS Paint, sky blue stripe for Northland, fuck all the soccer/Tour de France shit, thanks NZRU, that'll be $10,000 bucks.
i think it's cute that you think they only paid $10K for those designs

The Chiefs home jersey isn't much of an improvement from this years. But the away jersey...
I think the pick of the bunch are the Highlanders home jersey and the Canes away jersey. I still wouldn't buy any of them though!
Interesting that the Canes are still the only franchise to have different main sponsors for their home and away jerseys.

An amusing flashback to 1978 when an American designer was paid USD$100K (that's $275K in today's buckaroos) to co-opt a rugby league motif and graft it onto a NHL jersey -- a monstrosity so bad it made the Okker-Shocker look like haute couture:
"All these years later, it is still difficult to believe the organization [paid] a San Francisco marketing firm $100,000 to re-design the uniforms."
[...]
"[G]eneral manager later described the home uniform’s base colour as “puke yellow.”
"The original communications director, saw the new uniforms and “wanted to slash my wrists.”
[...]

I like the black Canes jersey, but the yellow one is way too waspy looking.
Chiefs away jersey is fucking grotesque and whoever designed it needs a sharp slap. Green and white? Seriously?
The Chiefs away jersey is surely a tribute to Dave Rennie and symbolises his days at Manawatu.
Even the Central Vikings saw fit to not use Green and White.
