It's not just a jersey – it's a culture, at least that's what Adidas says in its campaign: Alive With Pride.
Iris Worldwide Sydney brings stars from the New Zealand Investec Super Rugby Blues, Crusaders, Highlanders, Chiefs and Hurricanes to talk about the stories behind the designs of the Adidas' jerseys for the new season.
“By adding value with the bigger story of history and meaning behind traditional symbolism, the pride of both players and fans alike extends far beyond the pitch and into the heartland of the provinces,” Adam Daysh, marketing manager for Adidas New Zealand said.
Limited edition posters of the striking designs are also given as a gift with each jersey purchased.
