Highlanders Super Rugby Jersey
The Highlanders play their home games in blue and yellow shirts and the team emblem is a rampant Highlander brandishing in one hand a shield and in the other a claymore, as a symbolic indication of equal attention being paid to defence and attack. The shirt has featured in 1 final and 3 semi-finals all in the Super 12 era. A recent addition was a green jersey that did not prove particularly popular with fans, as they felt it went against the traditional colours of the Otago rugby union.

The feeder areas for the side are the regions of Otago, North Otago, and Southland, with its strong Scottish roots it is easy to see how the team got its name.
