All Black Strip

I don't exactly like Englands All Black away kit but it doesn't rub me up the wrong way,
I believe that if you have to use your away kit in matches where a colour clash doesn't happen then it just shows that you have no passion or pride in your own home colours. And to divert so far away from your own countries colours to don the colours of a formidable opponent truly shows your lack of tradition. All good to wear your away strip when there IS a colour clash, but there really isn't much these days, I mean, no one else comes close to the All White England strip so there is no reason to have an away strip. Even France and New Zealand is far enough in my eyes for both teams to play in their home strip.

I bet if Adidas tried to make our away kit gold shirts and green shorts there would be a complete uproar in New Zealand not only by the public but the players as well because it's disrespecting tradition and trying to imitate one of our greatest foes.
And the kit will not be finalised because of the possible uproar caused.

At the end of the day, it doesn't make the team better all it does is show the boys don't have the passion for their own traditions.

Have you seen the Georgia kit? It's more or less identicle to the Traditional England kit. So I guess this also applies to NZ away kit White Shirts and all that.

France's kit is too dark to use against NZ, and if it's raining the kit looks even darker. If you can't easily distinguish between sides it's too frustrating to watch.

Easy to tell them apart if the meet in QF or SF...

(you know what's coming next dontcha?)

France will be the ones winning.

*wonders how soon the bite will come*
