Highlanders to play in green?

Make the Rebels bright pink, then they'll be real Rebels.

The problem is that it's tricky to find teams that can naturally move to a green strip.

I suggested that the Hurricanes away strip could be a green, black and white strip because that would mean that all the top-rank teams in the region get some representation in the colours.

But I can't find any reason to change the Blues, Chiefs, Crusaders or Highlanders colours -home OR away strips - besides replacing all the much-despised silver with white.

similarly, I can't find fault with Queensland, New South Wales, or Melbourne. they all wear well established state colours. You could suggest the Western Force could change to some shade of yellow with black (being the state colours of Western Australia).

Even though you'd never see a Force v Hurricanes game with both teams in yellow, I'd love to see both sides having yellow and black home jerseys, with the Hurricanes in a lemon-yellow, and the Force in a darker yellow (such as mustard yellow).

Are the colours of the Brumbies the territory colours of the ACT? They might be an option for a green strip, but it might have to be a dark shade to distinguish them from the lime-green Raiders in the rugby league competition.

I don't know what latitude there is with the South African teams for green teams, but it's a shame that the Cheetahs don't make more use of orange - THAT is a distinctive colour in Super Rugby! (especially with teal alongside it)

I remember that the Stormers went through a few colour schemes in the past.. But I can't recall them trying green.

You could encorporate blue into the Chiefs strip as a fair representation for the BOP. I know the Chiefs already wear gold but on the face of it it's just plain Waikato colours.

Maybe the Chiefs could use Waikato colours for their home jersey and BoP colours for their away jersey - in a similar way to how the
Highlanders have used colour schemes similar to Otago and Southland for THEIR home-and-away kits.

of course it wouldn't be a hard and fast rule.. If the Chiefs are playing in Rotorua I'd prefer them to wear a BoP-styled "away" jersey, and playing an away game against the Hurricanes would be better in a mostly-black design, but I like the idea as much as my previous idea to make the Hurricanes away jersey Manawatu-Green.

Hell, if the Highlanders don't want to use blue & gold anymore, why not?

You could also make an arguement for a little North Harbour crimson to appear in the Blues away jersey, come to think of it.. (maybe in the trim?)

I think they must use the white to justify North Harbour. I guess there's Counties Manukau to consider aswell. Red would be a good trim colour. Counties don't fall under the Chiefs do they?

Yes, they do.

Yes, they do.

Hm, ok.
