2020 HOME RUGBY JERSEY
The Highlanders are the latest team to reveal their 2020 home jersey, which the Otago-based team will wear for the forthcoming Super Rugby season.
As is often the case, the Highlanders are throwing back to their Scottish heritage for the new home jersey, but with a bit of an innovative twist.
The Highlanders jerseys have a large tartan-inspired effect that might not look very tartan-y on its own, but when combined with the pattern on other jerseys on the team it creates a large-scale tartan effect.
The idea is that, it creates a “visual representation of the strong bond that is forged between the players and supporters of the Highlanders”.
2020 AWAY RUGBY JERSEY
The Highlanders' green jersey which first came to prominence in late 2011 to a storm of protest and shock by many has now gone the same way as the Manchester United grey jersey and endless New Zealand Warriors playing jerseys.
The new away jersey, revealed in the weekend by kit supplier adidas, is a light blue, nowhere near the green.
The green jersey came in different shades over the years and, over the past two years, was a very bright green which would not have looked out of place on a road-works site.
When the green jersey was introduced in the final game of 2011, which was also the final match the side played at Carisbrook, it was said to try to set a new path for the Highlanders and get away from the mix of blue, maroon and gold, the three colours of Otago, Southland and North Otago.
The Highlanders were said to have a history but not a tradition. The jersey would be a way of starting anew as the franchise was broken and needed a fresh look.
But after debuting it at Carisbrook in 2011 to a very much mixed reception, the green jersey became more of an away jersey and was worn at various times over the years.
Some people thought the side struggled to win in the green jersey.
But it struggled to win many away games so it was never going to be too successful in green.
In the end, the jersey on the back is a sideline. Teams win or lose on playing ability — not the colour of the cloth they are wearing.
The new away jersey will only be worn when there is a clear colour clash. The blue colour is prominent in the other away jerseys for New Zealand sides apart from the Blues which has a white away jersey.
The Highlanders away jersey is designed to reflect the ocean surrounding the region — from the fiords of the west coast to the rugged southern coastline.
All new away jerseys are made with Parley Ocean Plastic, which is recycled plastic waste intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the oceans.
The environment matters. So the design on this rugby away jersey reflects the majesty of the Highlanders' rugged coastal home. Inspired by the natural flow of water, it takes the area's spectacular Fiordland region as inspiration to produce a fresh take on the team's tartan style. Soft fabric absorbs moisture to keep you dry.
