Māori All Blacks women's home rugby jersey Adidas black

Technical specifications

Care instructions

Machine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle recommended. Do not use fabric softener, which alters the moisture-wicking properties of polyester. Air drying is essential: a tumble dryer may deform the piqué knit and damage the embroidered motifs. Iron at low temperature if necessary, avoiding the printed areas and the silver fern. Do not dry clean.

Design

The choice of piqué knit for this Māori All Blacks jersey is no accident: this honeycomb-patterned knit creates micro air channels that promote air circulation and speed up the evacuation of perspiration, even on hot days or during intense effort. Unlike a classic jersey, the piqué structure offers superior dimensional stability — the jersey does not deform when washed and keeps its straight cut season after season. The red piping, set in contrast on the shoulders or sleeves, echoes a historic visual code of the New Zealand team, while the embroidered silver fern on the chest anchors the product in the symbolic world of the Māori All Blacks. The exclusive use of recycled polyester responds to a growing environmental imperative at Adidas, while guaranteeing lightness, strength and quick drying — three essential assets for a supporter's jersey intended for regular use.

Māori All Blacks team

The Māori All Blacks represent the official selection of players of Māori descent from New Zealand. Founded in 1910, this team embodies a unique rugby tradition, combining sporting excellence and Māori cultural heritage. The predominant black of the jersey, identical to that of the All Blacks, recalls membership of the great family of New Zealand rugby, while the specific motifs and symbols (including the silver fern) mark the distinct identity of this selection. The Māori All Blacks regularly play international tours and face leading teams, offering a spectacle combining physical intensity and a strong cultural dimension — notably through the haka, performed before every match.

Adidas Rugby brand

Adidas outfits several major selections in world rugby and has developed textile expertise specific to the demands of this sport: tensile strength, rapid perspiration evacuation, and a cut adapted to athletic builds. The group's rugby range has systematically incorporated recycled materials for several seasons, as part of the "End Plastic Waste" initiative. This Māori All Blacks women's SS27 jersey follows this approach: 100% recycled polyester, made from upcycled plastic bottles, without loss of performance or durability compared with virgin fibres. A positioning that meets the growing expectations of supporters regarding environmental responsibility, while maintaining the technical standards of a reference sportswear manufacturer.
