This is the new Maori All Blacks jersey 14/15, the new principal jersey for the New Zealand Maori All Blacks team. Made by Adidas New Zealand, the kit was officially unveiled on October 15, 2014 ahead of the team’s upcoming fixtures against the Japanese national rugby team and the Asia Pacific Dragons.
Designed by Luke Crawford, Tiki Edwards and Dave Burke, the new uniform takes inspiration from the common elements between the Maori taiaha warrior and the Japanese samurai like the Pokohiwi (shoulders), Ara poutama and Poupou toa (warrior figure). In Adidas’ words, “it is a fusion of Maori design with Japanese influence”.
