RWC Jerseys

[ajwffc]

Anyone know if Scotland are bringing out anew set of strips or keeping the current ones?

I really feel for Bok and Wallabies supporters, Asics have royally f**cked your jerseys. Having seen the Wallabies jersey in a store today, it is truly a horrid sight to behold. The Bok jersey is terrible, the arm bands are just awful. The 2011 RWC Bok jersey was great IMO, very simple.

As an All Black supporter, I'm very pleased that Adidas respects our tradition and the wishes of the NZRU, and in fact sees the value in a consistent brand identity.

As for the chat around England wearing an all-black kit, I had no problem with the concept as it's simply the inverse of all-white, and was disappointed (but not surprised) by the juvenile reaction of many NZers. Our away jersey is all-white, yet I've not heard the English whinging about it. Too much time navel gazing at the bottom of the world, while listening to ignorant ramblings of half-arsed journalists.

Looking forward to RWC 2015.

I'm almost certain they are bringing out new tops in time for the World Cup. You can normally time these things around when they start to become a little cheaper in the shops.

I all ready own Scotland's current two strips (the proper cotton version) and was just wondering if they were being kept.

I have to say that the Springbok Jersey doesn't look that bad.

Last night they showed it on a local magazine show, and it made me change my mind of it.

So are u happy with the protea on the chest?

I think the Springbok one would look good if they just made the collar gold and everything else was green

I liked Scotlands Blue and Gold one at the 2011 world cup

Some fair points there mate. The reaction in 2011 to that England kit was pretty over the top. Probably didn't help they were playing in NZ though and that traditionally England's away jersey had never been black. That made it kinda easy for the press to take pot shots at them for being "wannabe All Blacks".

ASICS are completely ****ing useless... I heard the guys on Rugby HQ over here defend them (obviously a partner company) by explaining they needed to make some money off the sponsorship and so had to offer these variations. Just complete bull**** when you consider what Adidas does with the ABs and what Canterbury are doing with teams like Queensland and the Kangaroos in the League, where they offer very classical designs with modern trimmings and minor details changes at the edges.

Hopefully ASICS reign of incompetent design comes to an end soon, but we'll have to put up with it for a little longer. I'd be interested to see the sales for their last two jerseys for the Wallabies though - they're both bloody horrible.

One other thing I'd say is it annoys the hell out of me that the Wallabies get these away jerseys for world cups that are always f##king white?! When can we get a dark green one? Yeah, I know the boks wear it as their major, but white is England's strip and dark green actually happens to be one of our national colours and our League team have always worn it, and it was also the primary colour of our best ever ODI kit (Adidas one in '06).

That Australian shirt looks a bit like an old skool cricket jersey. TheSa one is just very uninspired.

It's a little OT, but I cannot for the life of me stand McArdle nor Cannon, and Martin is pushing it too. They present extremely smug and self-congratulatory, an actual fair reflection of all that is wrong with rugby union in Australia. Although I'm an NZer, I'm neither one-eyed nor concerned if the All Blacks lose fairly and squarely, I've lived away and in other countries a long time and would rather see a strong Australian or French (for example) game above any national ties. An All Black battering of Australia or France is of no satisfaction when those teams aren't performing due to weak domestic structure or poor organisational performance.

The recent ARU survey (which I completed because as a lover of rugby I have an interest in the health of the game in Australia, and every in country in fact) was a half-a**ed attempt to display a sense of regard for stakeholders, when in fact I would suggest that on evidence of the questions posed, and the (lack of) opportunity for written submission, very little concern exists for observations worthy of genuine consideration. Unfortunately, I expect that it will get worse before it gets any better for Australian rugby.

McArdle is just a Fox Sports talking head, but definitely agree about a lot of the rest of the panel often times. Georgina Robinson tends to add a bit when she's on though and is genuinely constructive regarding the trouble the game is in.

It's an odd thing when you think how Union here is rooted in all these posh private schools, but the business acumen of the guys running Rugby just seems so incredibly poor. The likes of John O'Neil seemed good at the time because he managed to capitalize on the RWC, but ultimately he laid a very poor foundation for the future by going for those easy cash grabs and not trying to foster both any free to air coverage for Super Rugby or really doing anything about a national competition.

The result of this decade and a half of mismanagement is a football code that is now light years behind the NRL, when at one point it looked like it might even supersede it after the league boys had torn themselves to pieces.

Now League is the tightly run high value business that seems to be increasing its market share year on year, while the ARU just desperately try anything to stay afloat with stupid short term cash grabs like the new Super Rugby format they've agreed to (which is honestly the stupidest way I've heard of structuring a competition).

Blimey, and I complain about rip off Britain! $150 AUD!

I was hoping they'd bring back the light blue stripe for the Fijian jersey like in 2007. Oh well just looks like any other Fijian jersey lol.

Samoan one is cool. Interesting how they've brought the red colour into it for the first time. Looks a bit like Namibia or Frances jerseys though but now it resembles the Samoan flag more. It will probably look quite cool when the players are wearing it

They could have at least had blue in Fiji's alt jersey or even that dark blackish colour with gold like the sevens team had.

I really like the black and blue jersey from Fiji vs USA last year

By from what i've seen from it atm, The white collar's are gone which is a shame i thought they're were a nice touch on our last jersey. Shorts have a big blue line going on the sides which isn't that bad and a double while line on the blue socks at about half way up.

I can picture it but there is probably more to it hopefully there is still no site off purple or pink like the 7's, aslong they're not there then i would still buy it.
