Rugby Jerseys

Anywhere  there is rugby, there is jerseys. They mark out one team from another, one set of supporters from another. The jerseys of international rugby teams are more than just jerseys, they represent their country and its people. The colours of these jerseys have changed little in the last 100 years and have huge history behind them.

This is an advertisement from Adidas’ 2015 Rugby World Cup Advertisement campaign. In it they show their jersey for the New Zealand team. The All Black colours of the New Zealand Team are world famous; the team take their “All Blacks” name from it. The famous jersey is a part of their success. The retired New Zealand captain Wayne Shelford described the jersey as “more than a shirt”

The jersey of New Zealand, like all others in this year’s world cup was designed, developed, and manufactured all over the world. It’s made up of all sorts of materials and the geography of this and every other jersey is what I will explore in detail in this blog.
