The Wallabies will wear a new Indigenous jersey at this year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan.
After unveiling their ‘home’ strip for the tournament yesterday, Rugby AU released a second jersey featuring an Indigenous design later on. The alternate uniform will be worn during the Wallabies’ group-stage clash against Uruguay on October 5.
It’s the second such strip the Wallabies will year, following the first Indigenous jersey which debuted in 2017 against New Zealand in Bledisloe 3 and was worn again for a Test against England last year.
Unlike the first, which largely followed the traditional colour pattern of a gold shirt with green shorts, the 2019 iteration is a predominantly green outfit with gold fading into the Indigenous patterning around the shoulders and waist.
The jersey will be officially unveiled at a media event this morning.
What are your thoughts on the new Indigenous jersey, Roarers?
