There was a time when Adidas made a decent ABs kit. But that was some time ago
They look cheap now. I see there are heaps of criticisms about the adhesive logos which people have said start to peel off over time. My CCC jersey with an embroidered logo and silver fern is nearly 30 years old and still in great condition.
The 2011 has embroidered logos. The 2015 has adhesive ones. But at least they felt solid

I have them too. I got the 2019 in a weak moment, it's a horrible jersey and I don't wear it, and it has bad juju

That's really good stuff. ABs out in the community but also the video itself and getting that out to the fans.

Most teams are doing this now so good to see the ABs move with the times.

Pretty cool the stories that come out when the players are able to share some of the behind the scenes happenings. AB teams of the past have been so protective of their sacred environment so it’s good to see these videos coming out.
Storytelling is the key to engaging with an audience these days. Definitely would love more of this going forward.

10 players from CNI schools in the AB 23, helped by the Barrett clan and Kirifi from FDMC.

Beauden talks to a little boy at around 8.50.
Asks him - "Who your favorite player?"
Boy - Damien McKenzielater in the conversation.
Boy - My brother's second favorite player is.........your brother Jordie." -

I hate all the social media stuff.
Humanises them.
I preferred when they were aloof, mysterious, unapproachable, arseholes.
The Tik-Tok age has not stood us in good stead.

I liked the 2015 strip with the black boots , I thought we looked pretty slick ,
But maybe we played such good rugby that is part of the memory , exact opposite to hating the grey 2011 jersey

The 2015 all black All Black attire was so awesome.
No neon, no pink, no logos on the boots. Just a classic old school look and as you say, the fact the team played as well as it did and had so many legends in it just made the aesthetic work even better.
It would be great if they used that type of kit once in a blue moon, for Lions tests or just a random match.

Reading the game review in the 8oclock

Checking the lineup on teletext. Hearing Keith Quinn call the game. Buying an $8 jug of Speights.
Fortunately there is the option to choose. If all you want to know is that Fabian Holland is 2.04m tall and 124kg, is affiliated to the Dunedin Sharks, Otago and the Highlanders. You can block out everything else.
The fun thing about this forum is it is clear some people don't like change. Super Rounds, hate em. Understanding personalities and history, hate it. Boots that aren't black, hate it.
Like, provincial rugby, paper programmes, you know the good old days.

Didn't they have the EOYT highlights at the cinema before the movie started...
Damn this internet

100% as charged. Because they apparently work okay in league they're supposed to be a good idea for Rugby Union. But you get a lot of games in front flat crowds who couldn't give a shite. Very bad idea!
