Stormers Rugby 2014 adidas Home and Away Jerseys

adidas has unveiled the 2014 home and away kits for South Africa-based Super 15 rugby team Stormers. Both will be available at World Rugby Shop and Lovell Rugby.

According to The Stormers website: The new DHL Stormers home jersey retains the collegiate royal blue and white colours, which was introduced in last season’s edition so as to bring the jersey in line with the traditional colour and hoops design of the Western Province jersey. However, this season sees a chevron pattern being incorporated into the front of the jersey’s design, adding an exciting, new element to the hoop effect.

One of the most notable changes to recent editions comes in the away jersey, which has moved away from the traditional white and blue inverted colour variant. Instead, the plain white jersey is starkly contrasted on the front by the introduction of a large royal blue and red lightning symbol – a design element taken from the DHL Stormers’ logo.

Other design elements incorporated into the two new jersey designs include a red insert on the inside of the home jersey collar and blue on the away jersey, both of which add a subtle and visually appealing dash of contrasting colour. Furthermore, the iconic 3 stripes of the technical sponsor, adidas, run along the back shoulder of the jersey and are thicker than in previous versions.
