The Stormers have unveiled their latest kit designs for the 2014 Super Rugby season, again produced by Adidas. The South African franchise has kept things pretty simple in recent years, but this year the designs have been given a bit of a twist. Between the five New Zealand teams and the Stormers, Adidas has a … Continue reading DHL Stormers Super Rugby 2014/15 Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts
Blues 2014/15 Super Rugby Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts
The Blues have traditionally had a nice line in classy, understated shirts that nobody in their right mind could be offended or put off by.

And fair play to them. … Continue reading Blues 2014/15 Super Rugby Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts

We'll be totally honest - the first time that we saw this new Chiefs shirt upon its reveal, our first reaction was very much from the 'WTF' school of grown up responses. Possibly followed by an 'Eurggh'. If that was your reaction too, hang on a minute. Just... relax... pause for a second, go and get … Continue reading Chiefs Super Rugby 2014/15 Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts
Crusaders Super Rugby 2014/15 Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts
There's a wet, wooly, over-sensitive lefty part of Rugby Shirt Watch that is made ever so slightly uncomfortable when teams use nicknames that have a certain cultural resonance that is perhaps not the most PC. The Crusaders name is one of those - we're sure that nobody in Canterbury gives it a second thought, and … Continue reading Crusaders Super Rugby 2014/15 Adidas Home & Alternate Shirts
