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.
