Jersey Design:

This season’s jersey design is built on the powerful theme of Kowhaiwhai—those intricate, traditional Māori patterns used to tell stories. It draws inspiration from the sacred symbols found in our meeting houses, representing Whakapapa (our genealogy). These patterns remind us of our deep connection to our ancestors, tracing our lineage back to the very moment of creation. It speaks to something universal: we are all a part of this larger creation, bound by a history that shapes who we are. No matter where someone comes from, if they take the time to understand this connection, they too can find themselves woven into the fabric of our story.

Our design team has chosen the vibrant, iridescent colours of the Pāua shellfish to symbolize our connection to the sea. For so many of the Pacific cultures, the ocean is life—it’s our origin, our path, and our sustenance. These colours, combined with the themes of speed agility and tenacious spirit echo the strength of our Pacific identity, which flows through the veins of all the islands that share this mighty pacific ocean.

From a design perspective, New Zealand’s diversity is one of our greatest strengths. This jersey is more than just a uniform—it’s a bridge, connecting our indigenous heritage with cultures from around the world. Through this design, we’ve strived to create something truly unique—modern, inclusive, and reflective of the vibrant tapestry that is New Zealand today.

Rep New Zealand Breakers story with pride in this Jersey. It features indigenous artwork representing the team and their story incorporated with the team wordmark on our premium, sports mesh fabric.
