Every 2024 Super Rugby Pacific club jersey: Blues revive spirit of 1997 with retro kit
Every Super Rugby jersey for 2024 season
Super Rugby through its various guises has produced some of the most iconic kits in Australia and New Zealand.
Scroll through to see every home, away, and alternative jersey in the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season.
One of them is a throwback to the jersey pictured, as worn by Blues star Carlos Spencer in 1995.
Hurricanes - home jersey
The biggest change Kiwi fans of Super Rugby Pacific will notice is switching from Adidas to Classic Sportswear.
The Hurricanes have retained their iconic yellow base for the home jersey with a subtle hurricane pattern in the design.
Hurricanes - away jersey
Like their 2023 version, the 2024 away jersey is primarily black.
This year, the team has added a more prominent swirling design that focuses on the Hurricanes logo.
NSW Waratahs - home jersey
There's been little in the way of change for the Waratahs between seasons.
Once again, the team will walk out in their resplendent baby blue scheme.
Blues - home jersey
The Blues have really embraced their region with their home jersey.
A silhouette of the Auckland skyline and harbour bridge feature at the bottom of the jersey.
The new kit is said to reflect the four tides that surround Auckland, namely the Manukau Harbour, Waitematā Harbour, Kaipara Harbour and the Hokianga.
Blues - away jersey
Like the home kit, the away kit features the Auckland skyline silhouette.
On the arms are coloured bars that represent the three major provinces - Northland, North Harbour, and Auckland.
Blues - heritage jersey
Perhaps the best of all three Blues jerseys is its alternative heritage kit.
The retro scheme is a nod to the Super 12-winning 1997 outfit worn by the likes of Jonah Lomu and Carlos Spencer.
The Blues enjoyed immense success in their first three years of Super 12, winning it twice and finishing runner-up once.
The Blues had to wait until 2003 to win the title again, but the memory of the 1997 campaign lives long in the minds of day-one fans.
Melbourne Rebels - home jersey
The Melbourne Rebels have gone for a tweaked look in 2024.
The dark blue base remains with abstract elements replacing the geographic shapes of 2023.
Melbourne Rebels - away jersey
The Melbourne Rebels' away kit is even brighter this year than last.
It's effectively a copy of the home jersey, albeit in bright pink.
ACT Brumbies - home jersey
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's the mantra at the ACT Brumbies, who have made no changes to their 2024 kit.
