The new Wallaby jersey

[Chandler Starr]

i thought the 2014/15 jersey was brilliant with it colors and designs. but i have to admit that this world cup jersey an absolute shitstorm. it looks like a ODI cricket jersey and a women 7's jersey had babies and then them babies inbred for generations.

if it was a supporters shirt it would be okay but not for our wallabies jersey. with a design like this we deserve to lose.

 

[Chandler Starr]

in the future they should upload 20 ideas for shirts and then just let people vote.

but they cant give out the statistics of which percentage has voted for what jersey until voting has closed and a jersey has been announced.

I wish the Wallabies would adopt a similar position taken by the NZRU in keeping a traditional jersey/strip. The All Blacks have essentially never changed their jersey apart from some minimalist additions over time I.e. sponsors etc.

As mentioned previously on here, the Wallabies should go back to their early 1990s design, like what Nobody is wearing below. A classic jersey.

Congratulations to the design team at Asics for inventing the first shirt that will be shot out of a T-Shirt cannon and have punters run away from it.

See, they get it. If it comes out of a cannon it must induce fear and loathing.

The last Canterbury jersey was far worse than this one.....

I agree. I don't like the last CCC jersey (WC 2007), too much white IMHO. But at least they made some good jerseys. Asics made 2 jerseys and both are crap, 100% effective. Even KooGa (2013) or Reebok (1999) made a good jersey. Asics is the worst brand so far

Seriously? What was the good Canterbury Wallaby jersey?

According to the colour swatch, this colour is called iron pyrite.

aka Fool's Gold

While realising I'm not at the bleeding edge of fashion design, your failure to use the words "synergy" or "learnings" disappoints me.

Low-hanging fruit, blue-sky thinking, etc., etc.

The best one of all..........

Having said that, cotton "collared" jerseys are a thing of the past............... anyone calling for "traditional" jerseys is going to be sorely disappointed, but the design still needs to be good.

One thing I noticed on the last B&I Lions tour, aside from the amount of their supporters that wore the jersey, was the quality of their gear.............

Unfortunately modern Wallaby jerseys have not only been badly designed, but they look even worse as casual attire on their supporters.

Ohhh I forgot it:

Also Canterbury

Canterbury = Rugby jerseys

Asics = Running shoes

 

[fatprop]

They stopped being a proper jersey when they moved away from this, and worse, they idea of fat middle aged men wearing these modern Lycra jerseys is just wrong on so many levels

Asics Rugby jerseys are shockers. This crap looks like some terrible australian davis cup shirt.

Is this jersey for the Soccer World Cup? Don't tell me they want Ben Robinson to play rugby in it?

Your comments are a little odd considering that the 2014 asics Jersey is actually very close to the 2005 CCC Jersey.

no fucking way. Really?

So now we know what your avatar thinks, but what do YOU think, Reg?

Lots of people on here climbing into Asics for what is a fairly bizarre design, but why no criticism of ARU for not telling them "No way are we putting our Wallabies on the field in that rubbish, go away & come back with a proper rugby jersey. And please remember our soil is GOLDEN not some baby-kak yellow".

There's also an opportunity here for someone to come out with a retro-style supporters top that ticks a few more boxes in terms of block colour, no unnecessary embellishment & obviously a loose, comfy fit....... couldn't have the Wobs logo, of course, but I'm sure a clever bloke could come up with something that looks close but not too close & with "australia" instead of "wallabies"?

Yeah I agree.

The process would have entailed Asics coming to the ARU initially with a number of concepts and the ARU would have instructed them which one to run with. There would have been a lot of back and forth and many opportunities to say 'we don't want that crap on the shoulder'

So what time is the "official" announcement?

Fingers crossed with all the negativity they can go with plan b.....

Looks like we've truly gone yellow. Poor design and the wrong colour.

Just need Coldplay to sing 'Yellow' at the launch
