afterthought...kangaroos training jersey version 2

 

[gzerounian]

or version 3

 

[chibimatty]

I think version 3 could be used as an alternate kit also.

Yes we can't risk having a colour clash with all the other Rugby League powerhouses who wear green and gold.

depends if the saffas compete and what ireland run around in... very remote chance it would ever be an issue though... i also remember reading somewhere a while back that Jamaica had just formed a rugby league team/comp... not that aus would be playing them in the next decade though...

 

[Flapper]

for the record, here's Jamaica's jersey, as sold on lovell-rugby.co.uk

 

[gzerounian]

Jamaica Rugby League got their qualification campaign for the Rugby League World Cup 2013 off to a great start with a 20-6 win over South Africa Rhinos but lost their next game against the United States in Philadelphia which determined their World Cup destiny

In this week and a bit I've seen in NZ so far I've noticed a bizarre trend; in all the sporting stores they might not stock every teams jersey but they stock each and every teams official shorts! Apparently according to the missus that's the more preferred way of expressing casual support over here.

Excerpt:

Goodbye smugglers - NRL shorts become 'a real cult item' for summer fashion-wear.

As men strip down to head to the beach, sales for the swimwear of the summer, NRL shorts, have picked up.

But the infamous budgie smugglers are holding on strong with a steady stream of sales.

In the past four or five months, Rebel Sport has seen a spike in the sale of league shorts.

Managing director Rod Duke said they were flying off the shelves.

"They're just going gang-busters. It's just ridiculous."

Mr Duke had no explanation for the shorts' sudden popularity - he could only say they'd become "a real cult item".

He said they'd become "huge" about Christmas time.

But budgie smuggler sales were still holding steady.

"Look, they'll be around for a very, very, very long time, but in terms of something that has really gone off, it's those NRL shorts."

Ireland are playing Australia at home in the 2013 rlwc. I would expect the away team to wear the alternate jersey, so maybe there is a need for a kangaroos away jersey.

No need for away jerseys, esp when Ireland wears this:

The irish jersey for reference

I'd see the irish jersey as the biggest clash and need one of us in either yellow or white... they are mostly green, albeit different shades but certainly close enough to be a problem...

When did Ireland become an international powerhouse?

You could get mixed up and pass the fekkers the ball on half a dozen occasions and still beat them by 70.

National jerseys should be left the same.

the national jersey should definitely only be the main and a clash kit. but when there is an obvious clash then one team needs to have an alternative.
the simple solution is ireland switch to a mostly white or aus switch to a mostly gold. including socks and shorts.
It shits me to tears that the NRL make everyone have radically different jerseys for differentiaion but then allow the refs, and opposing players to wear the same colour shorts and/or sock.

No, the simplest solution would be to leave the jerseys as they are...

but then you have a game between a side wearing green jersey, shorts and socks against a team wearing green jersey, shorts and socks. that is not a workable solution. at least 1 team needs an alternate to stop the clash.

You probably think white jerseys are a good idea...

If Aust needs a chash jumper for the World Cup, why not the blue + maroon hoops from the centenary game in 2008?

Let me make it clear I hate everything AFL, but I think this jersey was good:

 

[Saint Doc]

Leave the jerseys. Put Ireland in white shorts and socks
