Wilt Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I watched Rugby 7 European Grand Prix on the weekend and i must admit that I like the design trends in the rugby world: simple classic kits for XV and more flashy designs for 7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Looks like the shorts will be interchangeable. In the Pan-Am Games, it was mostly Red shirt, white shorts, or white shirt, red shorts. I actually quite like it. Not over-designed, just classy......had a chance to be there for the Pan-Am games, here's the ladies wearing that interchangeable look you speak of.

AnPheitseog Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Also, this is odd saying, butI wish that the Canadian jerseys had black in them besides just in the logo. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin Wall Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Argentina looks best so far for me. Not sure about the Welwitschias jersey though. But I'll root for them anyway. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStoicPaisano Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Argentina looking sharp. One of the few Nike teams left I think? I believe this is their only national team. They do have Saracens coming off the Premiership title and a huge future star in Itoje. I don't know if he has a personal sponsorship deal with any company, but seems to be marketable. Nike has Brisbane in the NRL.Is New Zealand sticking with the silver numerals on the black jerseys? They were awfully illegible against South Africa. And what's the rule for color-vs-color?

MJWalker45 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Color vs color is not as big an issue as there are no forward passes and in Rugby League the majority of the action is more compact than in soccer or American football. There are instances where the clash kits have to be used. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilt Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just to clarify, the upcoming World Cup is in rugby union not rugby league. Otherwise I agree, in low division rugby games the kits might hardly clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 In Rugby World Cup matches when there is a clash there is a coin toss. Each team must have both a home kit and a clash kit and the winner of the coin toss decides which kit they want to play in. They don't always choose to play in their home kit.For example, in the 2011 World Cup Final, France won the toss against New Zealand but elected to play in their white clash as a gesture towards NZ for being welcoming hosts - meaning that NZ could play in their traditional all black strips in front of their own fans.

kiwi_canadian Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 There was a case like that in the 2007 Rugby World Cup when France played New Zealand in the quarter finals. France elected to wear their home strip which was a darker blue, almost black jersey and the All Blacks protested. They had to play in their grey clash kit and lost. I remember there was a big curfuful over it in New Zealand when I was living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there was a big curfuful over it in New Zealand when I was living there.Yeah, they are sort of inconsistent as to how similar team strips need to be before they choose to play in away jerseys. In the Quarter Final game you are referring to France actually wore their home jersey and away socks and shorts. it was a strange looking game and because both teams wore mismatching strips, it was ironically hard to tell them apart.

Davidson Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Conversely, the Springboks wear a very dark jersey that almost always looks very close to black at a distance when playing the All Blacks and the two have never worn change strips to memory. Only the white shorts make it obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Wales world cup kit (plus sponsor and minus the RWC logo) with 4 gold bars on the arms marking the 4 occasions that Wales have gloriously managed to make it out of the pools stages of a World Cup without being beaten by a tiny Pacific Island nation.
