New Jersey - 2016

I'm officially underwhelmed. 4 jerseys in 4 years, the last two being poor. Away with your red, Vodafone.

I misunderstood the heading of this discussion and for a second wondered if the game against NZ was being moved to New Jersey.

I shouldn't have capitalised the j. Put it down to my outrage over the red sponsors logo

The neon green piping on the shoulders looks a bit redundant, like they wanted to add a bit of flair but they chickened out.

The red logo is gack, but we've been spoiled in the past 10 or so years with sponsor logos that haven't overtaken the jersey colour wise. Not surprised one of them eventually put their foot down. Ruins a nice jersey. Collar is back which is a major plus.

We're not even playing South Africa this year and can't see New Zealand wearing their alternate in Chicago if they don't need to. Will this jersey even get worn for a game?

I'd say the Aussie game in the AIs and I wouldn't be suprised if we saw it in one of the All Blacks games - its pretty normal for the unions to do one another 'favours' in this regard

"Hi Steve, Phillip here"
"Hullo Phul, whut can I do fur you?"
"Not much, we have a new alternative jersey coming out, would you mind wearing your alternative in one of the games so we can kickstart sales. We have the Aussie game, but this would really get things moving"
"Nut a prublum Phul, consider ut done, I know you'd do the same fur us"

Grubby, grubby money ...... and a putrid colour. Why not use the official National colour, St Patrick's Blue?
