The new Sharks jersey is finally here!
The Sharks have decided to go against the trend of innovative, creative and outrageous ideas for their rugby jersey and stick with a simple and more traditional black and white design for their home and away jersey.
I am personally a little underwhelmed, although I am on board with a more basic design. I don’t particularly like the grey shade of the home jersey and therefore prefer the away jersey and I also don’t like the diagonal lines. I don’t mind the “pinstripes”, but I think I would have liked it more if they made the stripes vertical, but that’s just my opinion.
It’s a fresh new start for the Sharks with a fresh new jersey, no frills, no fuss. Maybe that’s exactly what we need to finally get our hands on that trophy.

It’s sooooo purty!
I want one so bad, can’t wait to go to the Tank on monday to go buy one. 
So I’m one of the 2500 people who get one of these just because I renewed my season ticket!
I think I got used to the bit of red we had in our jersey, you know, with our sponsors having been red for so long, but I’m already liking this more.
I like it…as I said in another conversation, rather plain, than plain stupid (like the Camo).
I said that I don’t like the grey, but we did some of our best work in a grey jersey.
I think I built it up in my head too much like a little kid. Kind of an anticlimax now 😥
@West Indies Cricket Board (Comment 5) : Me2. I’d like to see it up close though, a picture doesn’t always do it justice and in the video on the BLK website the jerseys actually look much cooler!?

Its simple, no frills, no fuss just professional which shows what this union is becoming about. Its about professional rugby not looking like a fashion model. Lets hope the performances can back up the look.
Shouldn’t a website called Sharksworld have a slightly more positive spin on the teams jersey launch?
@Letgo (Comment 6) : well you know, if they win everything any jersey will start looking pretty awesome. Not sure about the white shorts on away kit though. looks a bit like pajamas. 😀 😀
Really like the Home jersey, LOVE the away one!!
well, FWIW I think the jerseys are fecking AWESOME!
Awesome. Back to the original black and white.
Super Rugby Champs 2014 jersey right there.
I like the jersey but think it would look way nicer with solid black and white.
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 8) :
Maybe, but I was just being honest!
I like it. I’m not crazy about it.
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 8) :
You’ll find that Maria is a perrienial “Rain on our Parade” type of person.
Probably the most negative poster on the site.
So are white chicks allowed to buy the black supporters jerseys and vice versa.
@Salmonoid the Subtle (Comment 16) : No def not! haha
the more I look at them the more I like them. Buying a white one for Christmas! Where can I get them?
@West Indies Cricket Board (Comment 18) : nevermind, found it on the site
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 8) : Whats your take on the new Stormers jerseys?
I likey.
@Salmonoid the Subtle (Comment 16) :
Keep it Christian.
@Salmonoid the Subtle (Comment 20) : I don’t like them, find the design almost “childish” everyone, even non Stormers supporters enjoyed the move towards the traditional “WP Hoops”.
It looks a bit like a preseason kit.
Maria, I love it!!! and especially the diagonal stripes! As any designer or Fashionista like my sister 😉 will tell you diagonal stripes are slimming, and since I have picked up a huge doze of the Kgs, I am thrilled! I am definitely making a plan to get both jerseys!
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 22) : I agree I am a WP basher by trade, but have to say, they should never have moved away from the hoops, they actually are an attractive jersey, pity about the team though 😉
I like it, hover I want to see the Sharks back in the black and white strip.
Rather similar to the Kings jersey though…
I cannot tell you how nice it is to see the away kit with white shorts. I’ve been waiting for that for a while! It looks SO much better. Overall, great jersey, great team, great coach, all we need now is people in the stadium!
@Big Fish (Comment 21) : Im trying to keep it light hearted.
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 22) : Agree.
I like the two jerseys.
I like the jersey what I don’t like is that I still have to wait until Feb to collect my free one for early season ticket renewals. What’s that all about? Rewarding someone for early commitment and then making them wait forever for the reward. I mean Feb is like next year its so far away. I am going to Gauteng for Christmas and was going to wear it the whole time whilst there. Can you imagine the orders flooding in!!!
I think the Home jersey looked darker in the teaser trailer – the close up of the weave looked positively black, which I thought was awesome – but they’re still both nice jerseys. Excited for the season.
Rather smart but I just wish they were black instead of brown. A bit of red on black would have been nicer.
@[email protected] (Comment 32) : brown?
What I am glad about is that underneath the Sharks emblem stands “THE SHARKS” RATHER THAN “CELL C SHARKS” THE SHARKS -don’t belong to anyone but themselves! – and their fans!Not some sponsor that wants to advertise. So all in all the writing on the jersey is tastefully placed – I just wish they were more black!
Yes Rob, they look darkish brown in the photo – especially on Deysel and Mvovo
The new jersey looks awesome. The only thing that feels a bit weird is that the white away strip with white pants look like pjs.
At first glance looked a bit brown to me too.
@robdylan (Comment 11) : me to I think the jerseys looks great, only thing is will they be for big guys like me? 😎
Ur design looks good, but where’s the black?? The jersey looks like its three years old. The white outfit does look abit like pajamas. Lol
I don’t like the huge size of the word “CELLO” on the front.
Love it! Minimalistic and subtle. Anyone notice the two dark lines running from collar to shoulder look a lot like a Shark’s two pectoral fins (in a head on view)? Wonder if that’s intentional?
First impressions…
Looks shit.
I love the kits. Great designs. The guys will look huge in the black. Very intimidating.
@Ice (Comment 3) : 😆
Looks awesome! Nice and professional. Just wonder how they will fit. Reebok was pretty damn tight. Will have to try them on first.
Nice!
@robdylan (Comment 33) : Good question if it is brown then the Bulls are in purple and the Stomers in Turquoise. Get your eyes tested just now you will be driving through a red light thinking its green. I would accept black or grey but brown? Hell!! Oh by the way the sponsors name has always been quite large on th front maybe it stands out more on the “brown” shirt.
Unlike most of you, I think the all black and the all white looks more modern.
My only real criticism is that the pink on the lady’s white jersey looks like a stain.
Would love one for Christmass just hope Santa got my letter ;-P
Merry Christmas to all of you guys. May this be the dawning of the age of Kings Park!
Can anyone tell me where I can buy the elusive new SR jersey? !!
@KILLER SHARK (Comment 51) : right now, you can only get it from the Sharks Cage. It will be available from other retailers from 20 Jan 2014
Thanks. The link on Sharksrugby site is not operational. I shall have to be patient. .
I love the new kit – esp white!! #GotheSHARKS
