Adidas have seemingly gotten around the fact that the AB’s, unlike so many of the other teams they supply, never change the look of their jerseys. Ever. It’s black mofo, and what’s more it’s written into the contract that Ze Germans can never change that particular aspect of dressing the ABs, which is a damn good thing because if there’s one thing sports clothing companies like to do it’s fuck shit like that up.
But they seem to have found a loop hole; the training jersey.
This season Adidas, in conjunction with shirt sponsor Powerade, appear to be dressing the team like giant bottles of the stuff. So now they don’t look so much like mega walls of chiselled granite as they do large containers of sugary piss water.
In the week leading up to the first test against the Irish they wore Powerade blue. In the second week, leading up to the first test against the Welsh they still wore the blue, but had a day where they wore all white, supposedly paying homage to the All Whites before their game against Italy.
Coincidentally, lemon flavoured Powerade, is white.
Now they’re wearing an aquamarine number that not surprisingly, makes them look like a bottle of Powerade. Which made me wonder just how many colours there are in the Powerade rainbow and more importantly, just how gay will this trend will go?
Be concerned rugby fans, because if I’m on to something then it’s about to go as gay as the volleyball scene in Top Gun:

Powerade, although fruity by nature, contains no fruit whatsoever.
