[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 419659, member: 20605"] Utter ********, it has nothing to do with losing the quarter final There was universal disdain at the silver jersey when it was first released six months [U]before[/U] the 2007 RWC[B].[/B] Sales were virtually non-existent, so slow in fact, that Adidas could no longer justify making it and had stopped production prior to the beginning of the tournament. Additionally, tens of thousands of jerseys were destroyed [U]before[/U] the All Blacks ever wore it for the first time (v Scotland), when it became apparent that no-one wanted to buy it. Its the same with the Crusaders horrible "platinum" jersey, and the Hurricanes "away grey". Very poor sales so hopefully they will be dropped for next year. Even Manchester United tried the "Grey" jersey.in 1995/96. It lasted five and a half games before being dumped two years ahead of schedule. Really. You tell that to a South African.....ever heard the expression "[I]My bloed is groen"[/I], [/QUOTE]
