adidas Rugby has unveiled the New Zealand All Blacks 2017 home jersey \u2013 taking on-field technology to a new level with unique features, such as a ground-breaking chassis system and new fabric innovation. It is now on sale at World Rugby Shop<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Kitbag Rugby<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Lovell Rugby<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

The jersey will be seen on field for the first time when the All Blacks play Ireland in Chicago on November 5th. The adidas research and development team says the jersey is \u2018the strongest we have ever produced\u2019 with a design aimed at helping the team maintain their number one position in world rugby.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

The new All Blacks jersey was developed over a two-year testing process, incorporating feedback from All Blacks squad members \u2013 including Owen Franks, Malakai Fekitoa and Kieran Read – who tested the system throughout the 2016 international season.<\/p>\n

The strength of the jersey lies in the way the fabric is digitally woven together; with the weave producing the strongest rugby jersey adidas has ever created, reducing the likelihood of ripping. This also helps to retain the jersey\u2019s shape under the physical demands of the modern game. In addition the fabric offers a four-way stretch, giving a more personalised fit and even greater comfort.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

The unrivalled strength of the jersey is not the only innovation. adidas has developed a system which sits underneath the jersey and shorts; the \u2018chassis system\u2019, which combined with the jersey, supports a player\u2019s kinetic chain and strengthens posture. It also improves core stability and movement efficiency.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Following player feedback, the pattern of the jersey has also been re-engineered to improve the fit, preventing opposition players grabbing hold, and increasing breathability. The collar has seen an overhaul, and is now ribbed for improved comfort and an adaptive fit. It sits lower on the neck making it difficult for an opponent to take hold.<\/p>\n

A new graphic design, inspired by the iconic silver fern, is digitally woven into the fabric. The result is a striking \u2018triaxle\u2019 graphic mimicking some of Nature\u2019s strongest structures. An all-new pattern and bonded seams combine to deliver a jersey that is impeccably tailored, befitting the All Blacks status in world rugby.<\/p>\n

All Blacks Captain, Kieran Read, says, \u201cWe look for advantages in every part of the game. The adidas team worked closely with us to design a new jersey that would help us maintain that edge and help our performance. We think it certainly does that.\u201d<\/p>\n
