Designed to represent bravery, strength and an ethos of teamwork;
The Sunwolves to play historic first game against the Lions on Saturday afternoon February 27 in Tokyo;
Singapore National Stadium to host matches between the Sunwolves and the Cheetahs (Round 3), Bulls (Round 5) and Stormers (Round 12);
Will feature in a conference alongside the Bulls, Cheetahs and Stormers
F*** all this Japan and Argentina nonsense, where the f*** is a World Rugby Club Championship FFS. I want to see Leicester vs. the Waratahs and all that. Bugger these stupid franchises and conferences.
What's up with that 'N'? What's the significance with that?
And there isn't a case, is there?
Probably differing enough.
No explanation so far.

Isn't Japan referred to as Nippon? Could be that.
That's a good point. Japan's name for themselves is indeed Nippon. And they are also known as the "land of the rising sun". So the yellow around the N might be a nod to that (The sun around Nippon).
I called it !
And there isn't a case, is there?
Probably differing enough.
A case for what? They're clearly distinct. And it's not like this one is the height of originality...
It would be interesting to see how it's applied on dark backgrounds.
So the poor wolf has 3 quarters of a head?

Been watching a bit of the world cup and couldn't help but notice their clash policy is a little bit strange too.
South Africa played Scotland the other day, with the Saffers forced to don their white change jersey after their dark green number was adjudged to be too similar to Scotland's navy blue.
Right now, the 'boks are playing the USA, who wear a navy blue jersey like Scotland, and apparently the RSA's green jersey is okay again.
Hmm...

Yep, it's a bit difficult to tell them apart.
Uruguay v Ireland (I think it was them) was pretty poor, kelly green vs light blue in the sun
Not specifically a kit related thing, but if you have any interest in watching a hybrid game (combined league and union rules) there is currently one on with Randwick (RU) against Western Suburbs (RL).

Newcastle Knights 2016 home jersey. Sorry for the small image.
Back to the hooped sleeves...Newcastle Knights 2016 home jersey. Sorry for the small image.
Not quite. It looks more like a stripe down the middle from the collar to the cuff, rather than a hoopBack to the hooped sleeves...
Good pickup, my mistake

If that is it, I am very disappointed that the rumoured design for 2016 never came to fruition (the original Henny Penny with white logos and numbers instead of yellow), the people want it and the club fails to deliver.
Plus it looks like ISC has moved away from a fantastic collar design to a rubbish one.
