South African Super Rugby side the Western Stormers have officially released their new home and away jerseys for the 2014 Super Rugby Season.
Supplied by adidas the new home and away jerseys are sponsored by DHL and this season sees a chevron pattern being incorporated into the front of the jersey’s design, adding an exciting, new element to the hoop effect.
According to The Stormers site: The new DHL Stormers home jersey retains the collegiate royal blue and white colours, which was introduced in last season’s edition so as to bring the jersey in line with the traditional colour and hoops design of the Western Province jersey.
The club’s new away jersey takes one of the most notable changes to recent editions, which has moved away from the traditional white and blue inverted colour variant. The plain white jersey is starkly contrasted on the front by the introduction of a large royal blue and red lightning symbol which is a design element taken from the DHL Stormers’ logo.
Other design elements merged into the two new jersey designs include a red insert on the inside of the home jersey collar and blue on the away jersey, both of which add a subtle and visually appealing dash of contrasting colour.
