New All Blacks jersey unveiled

The All Blacks new jersey was revealed this morning and already fans aren't impressed with the new design. Revealed today by adidas rugby ahead of the highly anticipated final Northern Tour match against France.

Moving away from traditional designs, the new-look jersey is a stark contrast from its all-black home counterpart.

The AIG logo still appears prominently next to the slanted adidas and All Blacks logos.

Ironically, the promotional image for the jerseys features Sam Cane and Malakai Fekitoa - both cited for foul play during the Ireland win on Sunday which may see them miss the very game they are due to wear the jersey.

The new alternate jersey was developed over a two-year process and features the same innovative technologies and strength seen in the recently launched traditional black 'home' jersey.

All Blacks Captain, Kieran Read, said: "We know that the technology involved in the design of the jersey helps us with our overall performance as we look to maintain our edge. For us, it's rare that we get to wear the alternate jersey, so we're genuinely excited to run out in a completely different and innovative design for our Test against France."
