Some Things You Might Not Know About All Blacks Jerseys

One of the world’s 10 most popular team sports is rugby, which has its roots in England, invented in the early part of the 19th century. This game is characterized by its full contact, fast and action-packed nature. As the whole game involves two 40 minute halves with just a few breaks, the game is considered one of the most intense team sports which requires that a player be in his proper gear before the game. This is not only intended for high performance but also to ensure his and all the participants’ safety. New Zealand men’s Rugby Union national team, the All Blacks has been a source of pride for the country with all the awards and accomplishments it has had in the past years. And over those years, there has been an evolution in the all blacks jersey which rugby enthusiasts have witnessed. And although victory still depends on how the players would perform, the jersey can in a way affect their performance.

What you can see the All Blacks players wear now is an entirely black jersey which has an on the front, an Adidas logo on one side and the NZRU silver fern on the other. Looking back, in the year 1884, the players used a dark blue jersey with a gold fern on the left of the jumper. Few years after, the NZRU announced that the uniform would be all black shirts with silver fern and white knickerbockers. By 1901, the team was in a black jersey, a canvas top without collar and the same silver fern. Another change that followed thereafter was the embroidered poppy on the jersey sleeve. This ‘poppy’ is in honor of the soldiers who risked their lives in the battlefield in Europe. It is the team’s way of showing how important this event is in the history of their nation and their team as well.

For seventy five years, it was Canterbury who had been behind the outfitting of the New Zealand national rugby team until Adidas took charge of it in 1999. There have been innovations made by different manufacturers to improve the technology of the jersey. But even with all these developments, it still is up to the team to outperform their opponents. For the fans, though, the jersey is one of the closest connections they have with the team. Donning an All Blacks replica jersey matters a lot to a hardcore fan.
