@Stargazer almost looks like combat olive drab

Stargazer

@canefan Only just too white to blend in with the pitch.

@Snowy maybe not straight up confused for but definitely more similar than a black jersey shown above

Well I could certainly live with it against a white one. There have been matches where I have thought "who the fuck is that?". First one might have been your guys in bright green.

bright green was the Highlanders' jersey a few years back wasn't it? Our alternate has usually been grey or black

Kiwiwomble

@canefan it was for several years, since 2010 till last year maybe

Snowy

@canefan Yeah was a while back. They should be dark blue. I'm a traditionalist.

To reflect the contributing teams, I think blue home, burgundy based away makes sense

Kiwiwomble

@Snowy our away jersey should be dark blue?

not saying I cant live with the canes White jersey but they are the only team that wears yellow....and so the closest thing they would get to a clash would be white....so a bit silly for their away/clash jersey to be white

@canefan id say of all the "away" jerseys you see in our crowds the old maroon ones are more common than any of the newer green ones...says everything

Snowy

@Kiwiwomble No, home one. Away jersey being white is fine which was the point. There won't be the clashes that we have had in the past.

Stargazer

The Highlanders away jersey would have been so much better if they had used the burgundy red instead of pickle green.

Kiwiwomble

@Stargazer 100%

also don't know why us and the chiefs done get colour badges

Stargazer

@Snowy Unless the Brumbies wear their predominantly white home jerseys with blue and - particularly - the Blues their white away jerseys with blue.

@Stargazer said in Super Rugby Jerseys:

Chiefs

Predominantly grey jersey, grey collar and cuffs. Grey shorts.

I don't think the Chiefs jersey is as bad as it initially looked. The detail is nice. Just very boring lack of colour.

I would definitely NOT buy these shirts online. From the pictures, it's just not clear what the exact colour is. This is from the Adidas website. Much lighter grey.

the game against the bulls was also read bad last year because their jersey has both light and dark blue.

Our jersey was actual green last year and the players still struggled, this one because its not bright white but white with cow shit green all over it...still might not be the best

What? Like girl guides get badges?

They do a course and get a badge? You've lost me. Participation badges next...

I can be smug, the Blues have actually won a few games recently.

Kiwiwomble

@Snowy what? no the team badge/crest/logo

Stargazer

@Kiwiwomble Yes, you're right. The Chiefs one doesn't have colour at all, and the Highlanders one looks like it has been soaked in bleach.

Gunner

On the whole the away jerseys are an abomination.

‘Keep it simple stupid’, perhaps taken a bit too far.

Right , so you just want some colour in the logos.

Fair enough, they are dull.

Kiwiwomble

@Snowy anything to make them less dull would help...and also...why?

Snowy

@Kiwiwomble said in Super Rugby Jerseys:

why?

Ummm....I got nothing. It doesn't confuse jerseys and makes them less attractive to fans.

Some marketing genius will have an answer...maybe.
