I see them and I don’t particularly like them either…. Typical Tah fan reaction I guess. Canterbury we’re putting out some pure shit for a while there.
I see designs like the Pacifica one from previous years and wonder if that could be used regularly in place of a bland white jersey.

Pacifika with a white base would go alright.

I know you are a bit of a gear lover Marce but personally I think last years strip with no billboard advertising was great! I also realise commercial reality means sponsors are needed and their names are wanted on playing strips. The AFL do it far better by limiting the size allowed of advertising allowed on strips and the number of sponsors. Having said that they are far better funded than Rugby. To have Cadbury or Qantas emblazoned on our National jersey though looks crap if you ask me. You’d think at least the Wallaby jersey could be ad free. That’s why the World Cup strip is the best to purchase.New Tahs shirts

I prefer these ones without the yellow squares on shoulders. For me the Qantas logo is OK and is one of the most famous Aussie brands overseas, so makes sense. Cadbury is a piece of sh*t, I agree with that

I'd like a navy away shirt like this:
The last Canterbury away shirt was OK for me:
And the XBlades away shirt was the only thing they did right:

Thrifty sponsorship on the pants looks a bit shit, and like the Reds the primary sponsor seems excessively largeNew Tahs shirts

Tahs heritage jersey looks really nice.
I wonder what size the props have to order in these, surely 6XL - they're tight as anything!

At least like pointed out by @Marce white logo is way better than a yellow UNSW logo.

Tahs heritage supporter jerseys should be available in long sleeve old school jerseys with no advertising. They would sell well I reckon.

Special means 110 bucks this days:
Yep! Brings it down from completely unaffordable, to just almost completely unaffordable.

Looking at the away strip, I’d never purchase it, but I’m too much of a slob for white anyways. But I don’t mind it as a uniform. Like others I think an indigenous/Pacifica element might make it better.
Also, other than for marketing/merchandising, do we need an away strip? Does anyone else wear light blue?

Only Auckland at times have different shades on the same jersey but you’re right. The Bulls use to when the Saffas were around.

Perhaps we need an away shorts cause most of Super Rugby teams wear navy shorts, with that you are ok in terms of personalization
Actually, that idea was implemented by Reds this season lol
You need a different away shorts, it can't be the same as the home shorts. White or sky blue shorts would be fine for me

Anyone got any thoughts on the KB (Kurtley Beale) doco? Didn't mind it. Not exactly hard hitting journalism but that wasn't expected either
I won't be watching but would like to see more of such content. Just better topics.
