@shark literally the windiest major city on the planet
And the Wahine disaster in '68 was a pretty notable hurricane event.
If that's the best rationale for the team naming then suddenly Crusaders doesn't seem too bad.
Does Crusaders have any sort of link to Christchurch other than the fact it starts with a C? At the end of the day, at least they tried. The least imaginative team name has to be the Blues
I thought the connection was fairly easy to figure out. The place is called Christ+Church.
They could have worn sailors outfits inspired by Nelson.

When you consider the massive amount of coastline the region encompasses it would be much better.
I was only winding up Shark at the start but if you think about it if you want people to feel a connection or representation to a team the Highlanders, Chiefs and Canes have probably achieved that better across their region (yes, HB isn't covered by the 'wind' part but they get ignored anyway).
Blues and Crusaders probably the most obscure -
@bovidae said in 2022 Super Rugby jerseys:
It would be great to see the colours of the other provinces within each franchise incorporated into the away jerseys. Only the Highlanders seem to have done this.
Yes, but it's VERY easy for the Highlanders to do so when the total variety of colours present om the strips of their three member unions is three and each uses them in inverse combinations.

@shark said in 2022 Super Rugby jerseys:
I've long said though that the Crusaders could - perhaps every two years - mix up the away strip to incorporate some green, gold or blue.
I'm sure the Crusaders could design a jersey that has those colours as recognition to their Heartland unions, or one that wasn't predominantly red and/or white.
The Blues jersey with Cambridge blue and maroon was really nice. For the Chiefs, you have blue and gold, and even maroon as alternative options.

@crucial said in 2022 Super Rugby jerseys:
Funny how these Canterbury teams have suddenly realised that they have half a big mountain in the bottom corner of their province instead of pointing at the knights on horseback riding the plains.
(OK all of a big mountain for Crusaders as they lay claim to Westland as well.That is some appalling geography!
No wonder there's no internet on Mt. Cook!

I don't know how good a shirt with red, black, green, gold, blue and white would look, or sell, but it would be a nice nod to the LGBTQ community, and the IOC.

Forget about red, black and white. Just use the other colours.
It's never going to happen though as the Adidas designers aren't that imaginative, and hoops are so 1980s.

They did do that west coast jersey, mainly white with red hoops, don’t know why they don’t do that more, mainly red with some back for home and mainly white with some red for away

@daffy-jaffy both look nice, happy with those.
Crusaders away jersey is good too. It's a law that Waikato jerseys need to look hideous, so job done.
