The new Wallaby jersey

[Braveheart81]

I have to say that the jersey looks a fair bit better in the photographs with players. It's certainly far too yellow for my liking but that has been a pretty standard complaint for a while now.

I'm glad the 'waves' on the front are far less visible than they were in the supporter jersey photo posted yesterday.

I could have drunk a case of pineapple cruisers and eaten a mid-2000s Australia one day shirt and vomited out something better. Disgraceful

Your assessment got a mention on Fox Sports News.

At least Hooper is nowhere to be seen.

Who is that top left, right at the back?

I think the players were selected on their size to form that nice V!

The were planning on bringing Rory Arnold but they didn't have another 7ft bloke to line up on the other side.

Will Skelton.

Hate being smug but..

Also I think the jersey will look substantially better when it's actually worn by a player.

Ah who am I kidding, I love it.

If you want to single out model choices, Speight is probably the most interesting. He's only played 2 tests on an EOYT and neither of those assured him of a starting spot. At least Beale and Horwill have played in heaps.

I actually think it's the multicultural angle they are honing in on..

yes. we must make wild assumptions on the coaches plans based on marketing exercises set up by sponsors

sure, that how it works now ;-)

Pocock?

 

[Ignoto]

Did they only pack 10 Large socks instead of 9 and one XXXL for Skelton?

I like the white collar, but jessszzzzzzus can the supports get it without the sleeve?

I know it's not an official team photo but how hard is it to get the guys to pull their socks up? Socks down annoys me most of the time but I will concede there's not much you can do about them playing with them down but in a photo? Just pull them up Skelton!

Interesting that the current Wallabies captain wasn't in the photo yet 2 previous captains are. Also says a lot that Izzy is front & ctr.

Also where's Pocock? During the 2013 Lions campaign he was the face of the Wallabies, now nowhere to be seen.

Maybe instead of playing both Pocock and Hooper (as some have discussed), Cheika is going to go the complete other way and play no 7 at all!!!

He's a wily old fox, bet nobody will be expecting that one! We'll win for sure!

They stopped being a proper jersey when they moved away from this, and worse, they idea of fat middle aged men wearing these modern Lycra jerseys is just wrong on so many levels

I like how old school players synchronised their legs. Military discipline.

You may want to rethink that statement...........

There's somebody standing way back out of focus in the photo.

And synchronised their haircuts as well. Same shade, same length, same part. Shorts riding up slightly on the right leg. Now THAT is how you play rugby.

I believe this is the plot for the new True Detective..........

Who is the yellow king?
