@Daffy-Jaffy yeah, i just saw the highlanders one...not really sure what it was about, there not even a date like they often do...also, no chiefs one?

Read the captions a little closer and you might figure out what they are. I've seen them all and there's a theme to them.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah oh shit, theyre marvel :face_vomiting:

so Highlanders are Hulk? blues spiderman, crusaders ironman and "watch this space" for canes?

Embarrassing if so. Leave that to the NRL if that’s what it is. Would looks ridiculous if that theme was copied.

Here’s hoping it’s the 1996 jerseys

[Kiwiwomble]

@Landers92 plus the SA teams did it probably over a decade ago...you know...when marvel was big...rather than when its a bit of a joke

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble yep thats it. Canes is Captain America, Chiefs have Black Panther.

[Yeetyaah]

Heritage jerseys are coming for the Chiefs at least as I've seen that one, not vintage jersey design related.

[Kiwiwomble]

couldnt they at least give the canes something like wolverine?...you know, yellow and black

may we got hulk because we had green for so long?....or completely random

[Yeetyaah]

Had the same thought, I guess the last Wolverine movie was R rated so not suitable? Idk.

some AI fun :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[Landers92]

I’ll look at the positive and acknowledge the fact they are actually making an effort and no doubt will be talked about all across social media which is one of the main objectives. That and targeting the younger generations. Just a shame it’s Marvel in my opinion.

The new CEO is willing to try new things and that’s a positive in itself. Yes the Fantasy league might follow a fairly simple structure but that’s on purpose to allow previous non-players to get used to the format. Now with these Marvel jerseys it’s all about bringing a bit of fun to the game for that younger generation.

When you include the recent release of Rugby 25, albeit the gameplay being a bit average, it’s all creating plenty of chatter online which is only a good thing for the game.

Who the fuck would want your team to be representing another f'ing country!?

Would Crusaders be Red Hulk Or just Blackadder: "Red Hulk smash. Knee. Ankle. Shoulder. Whatever body part is handy on self."

[Mr Fish]

I think the Chiefs one looks pretty good. Crusaders is naturally ruined by the sponsor. Not sure about Highlanders.

[Mr Fish]

On the topic of jerseys, how do the sizes run for the classic strips?

[Kiwiwomble]

I wonder how they decide which characters to use, not similar colours or anything

[gt12]

Hold on, the Blues jersey is red?

And the Canes jersey is Blue?

And the crusaders jersey are the Waikato colors?

And the Chiefs jersey is the same as the Canes away colors?

Alright, well thought through.

[Machpants]

Hopefully it's good for the yoof. But fuck me those are poorly thought out, ugly and crass. /GoM

[Yeetyaah]

@Mr-Fish go one size up for the ideal fit, 2 sizes if you like it baggy.
