After the game they auction them off and all the money goes to Plunket.
The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society is an incorporated society[1]​ in New Zealand which provides a range of health services to healthy babies and young children. The Plunket Society mission is "to ensure that New Zealand children are among the healthiest in the world".
The society is most commonly referred to in the community as "Plunket".
As described by wikipedia.

They have done this last year, not to sure about the year before.

Only the games played in NZ had the strips - same thing happened last year.

Yeah, but one thing is solidarity and otherwise designing shirts. Why Adidas not keep these new designs? For me these new designs are cuter than usual designs.

I'm not sure, I think maybe it had something to do with Plunket

but don't quote me on that

we might see them next year, our current jerseys were more or less what were used for the Plunket jerseys LAST year, testing them maybe?

NZRU: Partly yes, because they currently own or have a controlling share all the franchises

ADIDAS: Definitely not. They are a shirt sponsor and kit provider so they have their logo on the shirt and their "three stripes" mark on all jerseys (including ITM Cup, Super Rugby, NZ Sevens, NZ Maori, NZ Women's XVs and NZ Women's sevens and NZ U20, but NOT the All Black jersey) but they don't control any other marketing for NZ rugby branding in any form.

I like the new designs of the shirts, it's a shame that only used for one round
