More like the Newcastle Knights.

@African-Monkey Especially when you have the same apparel supplier and major sponsor

[Yeetyaah]

That away jersey is the biggest piece of dog shit I've ever seen. Who ever designed and greenlit that should be flipping burgers.

[mikedogz]

That away jersey might have been inspired by their jersey from around 2000.

[UpTheHarbs]

@mikedogz It is too. That’s what I thought as well when I first glanced at it in Boomfa’s video.

I think the Blues are incorporating red into their strip so Razor and his Cantab comrades might finally notice Sotutu, Papali’i and Lam.

[Daffy Jaffy]

This looks like Tamiano Ahloo at Blues training. Maybe he is one of the young NDC players.

Also Sir Ted was there. Making a comeback?

thats what i assumed...but feel they missed the mark...i prefer the training jersey

i feel both the blues and the highlanders might have an issue when playing the brumbies with lots of blue and while on all jerseys

Like the simplicity of Blues home kit. Wouldn’t mind seeing some cambridge blue and maroon built into it like the training shirt though.

Newcastle have signed Hoskins Sotutu on a 3 year deal damn that's disappointing.

Very disappointing. And to lose Lam also.

And we'll continue to lose more too.

Our players are good enough to have a look at for higher honours, but the chances of them getting that look are bleak. Papali'i will be gone next

[KiwiMurph]

@African-Monkey add Harry Plummer and Akira to that list

And I'm worried that Beehre, despite getting called up to hold some tackle bags on the EOYT, could also join that group.

[rewa267]

Beehre won’t leave he still has All Black aspirations

He would be nuts to through a tantrum and leave now. He has a foot in the door and can't consider himself hard done by...yet.

I’d like to see a bold choice of actually making a traditional rugby jersey

Navy blue and cambridge blue hoops with a maroon collar would do
