    So, on to the apparent solution of "predominantly white".

    Highlanders v Brumbies 2021:

    When they could have just gone with:

    Hurricanes faced a similar predicament when they played the Stormers in Cape Town

    Yes, that is a Hurricanes away jersey in case you didn't know. Not a Blues away jersey.

    I don’t think you’ll get much argument from anyone

    Not for arguing.

    Just a document of record - for the purposes of pointing and laughing at people so bad at their jobs.

    There obviously isn't a strict rule about wearing the away jersey as both the Chiefs and Crusaders wore their home jerseys in the weekend.

    While we are talking about the NZ SR jerseys I haven't seen any of the new away jerseys in my local Rebel Sports.

    Some more random ones for our viewing pleasure.

    To demonstrate the impacts when one team decides to funk up their jersey with some fades.

    From overseas. Cardiff v Glasgow in the Pro12. From 2018.

    The curse of making your away kit - a grey + normal colour combination. For some unforseen reason this seems not to work.

    You'd think the central contracting of the NZ SR kits would have avoided this from 2017, but, no.

    @rapido The worst colour clash in NZ has to be BOP vs Taranaki.

    I was going to say, no, because they have known this for 100 years, so they always wear a proper alternative kit.

    The very first match I attended live was the 1982 promotion-relegation match at Tauranga. IN this match the home team changed kit to the Tauranga sub-union jeresy. Still blue & gold, but not hoops.

    But, but a quick search of google images shows me this recent match.
    I wonder if this was a confusion of when we flipped from home team changes to away team changes? and each thought the other was wearing their change?

    From 2017. Here is an example of clashes that can happen when both team introduce fades into their designs,

    Here. We have 2 teams who wear light blue. So home team in standard light blue kit are playing an away team in their change white kit (in theory).

    But the light blue team have a white fade, and the white team have a light blue fade.

    I think Magpies v Auckland would be worse - although I don't think they've been dumb enough to have it happen in modern times.

    TBH, that doesn't really look that bad. The blue and black stripes are in different places on the jersey and the shorts are different. I think they're the easiest to tell apart on this entire page.

    I guess, I should caveat ... that back in the day we put up with this, on small SD TVs.

    No one can clash with the hideousness of a Waikato jersey.

    @crucial is that a Counties man talking shit? Speak only when you're back in the premiership div.
