<p>I liked the black strip. Not so keen on the yellow though.</p>

<p>Forget the footy, it's the Hurricanes' outfit we need to talk about. Having played in, predominantly, yellow in the opening two rounds, the team unveiled a black ensemble at Eden Park.</p>
<p>The yellow, which has it's own unique sponsor, is for overseas games, apparently. Only the broadcasters felt black and blue might clash when the Hurricanes met the Highlanders, so they were told to wear the yellow. Or is it more mustard?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The black strip certainly channels Wellington's kit of the mid 1990s, which has disappointed some fans. They believe a yellow shirt has always been synonymous with the Hurricanes and want that to remain the case.</p>
<p>The team will be in the black outfit when they host the Western Force in Palmerston North on Friday night.</p> -
<p>The yellow strip with the black shoulders looks ridiculous from behind. The yellow adidas stripes come over the shoulders like braces and when combined with the same colour shorts it looks like lederhosen or kids short dungarees. The Crusaders red strip with the black shoulders has the same effect.</p>

<p>Agree. The black with a bit of yellow looks good. But the design at the back. It looks silly</p> -

Dammit.<br><br>
He is bloody made of glass though. He seemed to go off injured every other game last year. -

He's had a few shoulder issues so hopefully this will sort it out. -

Blade gets a great steal and TJ immediately bangs it out on the full to hand back possession. It's like his mind and body are a bit out of sync. The mind is going at a million miles an hour but his body can't quite keep up.

That was a tough watch.... at least I had my wife telling me about her day at work...cos that was actually interesting.<br><br>
Could be a very long season for canes fans this year.<br><br><br>
Julian was bloody ordinary under that last high ball -
<p>I acquired a new television during this past week and to me the flood lights look to be rather dull. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it something that needs to be adjusted on the new TV?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In case anyone is wondering the score at halftime is Hurricanes 10 - 03 Force</p> -

Not as bright as big grounds... but still able to see sharp shadows of the players on the ground. ...
