They are usually announced prior to December so assuming over the next week or so.

Would be cool if they unveiled the jerseys on squad announcement day.

@chu84 The Blues site shop is down and says -

"Rebuild in progress...Stay tuned for new shop and 2026 range launch coming at the end of November"

Also Le Roux Malan thought played very well the Magpies ..

He has signed a 1-yr deal with the Sharks.

couple of sneak peaks from Classic

[chu84]

Some seem to show more than others but seems to be a mix between 96 and 99 jerseys?

[Kiwiwomble]

@chu84 yeah, the large maroon section definitely has 96 vibes

the polaroid in the blues one looks like 2000 thought

[KiwiMurph]

@Kiwiwomble the sleeve on the Blues one looks like the 1996 jersey.

[Kiwiwomble]

@KiwiMurph yeah, the sleeve definitely, just the picture looks like 2000, maybe the main jersey will be a modern version of 96 but the retro jersey will be 2000

[chu84]

Or one style home and the other away? Small parts you can see of the crusaders and chiefs look more 99 than 96. Chiefs seem allergic to the 97 jersey for some reason

[Yeetyaah]

Blues away jersey is a 96 remake. Unsure on the others at this stage.

still looking like 96

[chu84]

@Kiwiwomble
Canes and Blues looking that way too, Chiefs and Crusaders not so much

[chu84]

In one of these crusaders looks very much the 96 but not the other- home and away I guess?

[Yeetyaah]

@chu84 Looks like an inverted 96 as its mostly black.

[Kiwiwomble]

the top one you can see what looks like a red collar but the second one on the cloths line looks like a modern black collar, so could be two different jerseys

[Kiwiwomble]

[chu84]

Yeah I dunno about that blues kit, like the theory but the execution looks off, the NG logos at the bottom of the 2nd one look hideous
