Mark looking forward to Alternative WRC2023 jerseys video. By the way, which is your ranking for more comfortable jerseys you have worn during this WRC?? Thanks for this video (and all otherones too🙂🙂). 🤙🏻👍👏👏👏👏 Saludos = cheers 🇦🇷🏉🍻👍🙂
The reason for the French jersey being darker than usual is because France has officially changed the colour of the Tricolore to a darker blue. You're literally right about the Italian one being royal blue because it comes from the House of Savoy, who were the royal family of the united Italy until 1946
Fun video! There were so few Bok Jerserys available here that no one could get the official Jersey here in South Africa except for the fake ones which were available at every single robot (traffic light). The knockoffs were pretty decent R350 compared to R2500 for the players replica jersey. Pirates made a fortune.
I rather liked the Fiji jersey (their alternate kit, too). The one you showed wasn’t the World Cup jersey (no RWC logo). I like the way the cultural design looked on the side under the sleeve, and the personalized information on the players added to the jerseys (name, home town, date of the match) was a nice touch that I didn’t see on any other team’s kit.
I actually loved the Welsh jersey this year, probably my favourite of the tournament. Although it seems to be allergic to numbers being put on the back
What was that? I have seen that happen occassionally over the years but not even 5 minutes in and the halfback had lost his number and then everyone else. Never seen anything like it!
totally agree with you. Got myself the portuguese, italian, georgian jersey. And also the Fiji away jersey. Not sure if it really works as a Test match jersey, but it defo works just on a daily basis
I got myself the Portugal, Chile, Japan and France jerseys over the course of the tournament. I felt some of the alternative ones were really good. Fiji and Argentina in particular.
Georgia's jersey is nice, I also looked at the price after I watched them play. Scotland Jersey is one of the best for me, just wish that they had done something different with the collar and put the same tartan on their away jersey on the sleeves of the home jersey.
Thanks for the nice compliment to our Pumas’s jersey! Made me laugh out loud a couple times… Irish jersey an “abomination”? 😂 Agree: that green’s not the best (their side tho, wow, bloody impressive)
They Irish jersey is just boring and looks more like a training kit. Canterbury weren't going all out on design hours on it. It didn't get much praise when it was first revealed here. It does looks better on the actual players on the pitch.
Half Portuguese Half South African here and I agree the Portuguese Jersey is sexy! So proud they did so well and I had two teams I was supporting this world cup! Go Bokke for the final 🎉 love and respect New Zealand btw may the best team win!
7:22 The Fijian shirt you've shown doesn't have the RWC logo, but it was present on the players' shirts for their games. An uncharacteristic slip there. Good vid. I would enjoy a reserve/alternative kit one. Did all the teams use their alternate kits?
Yep the protea emblem is the sign of reform, which I do not mind. But the Springbok logo is perceived by some as an Apartheid remnant that needs to be eradicated. The Springbok has become synonymous with unity.
I agree. If they are the springboks it should be the emblem. They are not the proteas rugby team. Can we forget about the past nonsense because anyone can be a part of it now. The Springboks are South Africa's greatest hope and it should be honored... not put on the sleeve 😢
I agree with Portugal as the top choice and you’re right, there’s no horrible jerseys for the home kits. I really like Romania’s jersey and the Fiji kits (both home and away). My least favourite is the Ireland shirt
My favourite shirts this world cup: Scotland (love the tartan pieces), France (the flag in the back near the neck looks chique) and South Africa (it still is verdomp a Bokke shirt after all)
Portugal tops it for me, that gold badges and logo on it looks so amazing. NZ one looks better than photos, other honourable mentions that I think look good too is Romania and South Africa. Least favourite one for me is England, probably because it's a boring bland all-white design.
Wasn't having the best of days...saw this jersey rankings vid on my feed just now...and my day got infinitely better! Quality content Mark as always! Cheers from SA
My rankings 20. Ireland (it looks cheap) 19. New Zealand (the doodles!) 18. England (so boring) 17. Samoa (a little less boring) 16. Tonga (alright) 15. South Africa (not their best) 14. Australia (average) 13. Wales (fine) 12. Uruguay (i like this, the yellow one is even nicer i think though) 11. Fiji (simple, effective, the alternate is a winner) 10. Italy (pretty good) 9. Georgia (looks great) 8. Argentina (classic) 7. Scotland (love the tartan) 6. Namibia (their best effort yet) 5. Chile (looks great, simple, stylish) 4. Romania (bold and beautiful) 3. France (sharp, love the darker blue, looks great) 2. Japan (Wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice) 1. Portugal (Of course, one of the all time greats!)
I actually really liked the Aussie jersey. I love the retro colour of it. There was a long period of time when Australia had a really light yellow, often with green bits on it, that I didn't really like in the late 90s and for many years thereafter as opposed to the deeper coloured jerseys from the late 80s and early 90s that I really liked. So I really love the retro vibe of that kit.
Thanks for a different type of rugby video. What was the rankings of the previous world cups, o maybe do a historical one :-) I agree, that it would be better to have the known named emblem (like Pumas, Springboks, Wallabies) on the chest. For the Springbok should really be on the chest, but that is not what the politicians and the administrators decided. There was a point, when it was combined, and I preferred that. The Welsh jersey is fine, but in the last game they played, the numbers kept falling off. that must have been a bit challenging for the referees, commentators and spectators. Wales could have been playing for 7 loosehead props at one stage. Talk about a bombsquad :))))
Your thoughts on the nation’s championship becoming official I know you’re not too happy about the proposal based on your vid a few months ago, also how would the rugby championship go during years of them will they still do 6 games per team with home and away or just cut down to 1 game per team
I hated it from photos but when I saw it in person and when they were playing yeah it's grown on me. But the 2015 RWC All Blacks jersey is their all time best
I really like the more prominent puma on the Argentina jersey compared to the badge they had before. Sort of the opposite of what the Springboks and the Wallabies have done and it looks really slick
Nice vid. Like you, I prefer a proper collar on a rugby jersey. Unlike you, I prefer a monochrome world cup logo. Best jersey for me was Argentina though. Good luck this weekend!
Theres two versions of the springboks jersey, a stadium jersey (lighter green loose fit no lines ) and a match day jersey(darker green tight fit vertical lines ), Both versions sold out before the rwc started and nike messed up so much that the team during the pool games didn't have the same jerseys during the games if u look carefully. In 2019 a jersey was priced around R899...now its R1400 and R2500... Only gets sold in 4 shops nationwide nationwide wich is all sold out. The fit is loose if ur skinny and it just feels bad.
But which nation created the best alternate jersey this year? I like Wales' black & yellow (with the high collar) as well as Fiji's black & neon pink/magenta, and the simplicity of Scotland's alternate and simple white shirt with a big contrast on the collar and sleeves is nice. But my top alternate is South Africa's which looks new and exciting to me, and CLEARLY shows that I'm not from South Africa since apparently every 'Boks supporter detests it... How's my logic?
...talking about jerseys...well as an Argie i must to say thank you..Safas!... and what it is the reason ...in the 60s.. the embassador of SA donated green jersey to our province team ( jujuy ) ..so since that time we adopted the grren in our jerseys. Good luck in the final.
From a bias point of view, the "clashing" green and gold colours of the Boks will always be beautiful to me, although I agree that this particular jersey, and especially because of the lack of the (proud) Bok emblem at the front, looked rather dull. For me, the Los Pumas and the Japanese jerseys looked the best on the pitch. I also always like Wales' bright red too. Beautiful when they run onto the field. Nice video Mark.
I think a lot would agree about the Springbok on the sleeve and no the front, that was government regulation that caused that. For World Cups it has to make way for the Protea and then there is the WC Logo, so the only way to keep it was to have it on the sleeve. I think we are used it now, it has been awhile. People were pissed when it was first announced.
Welsh one has the national anthem embedded on the back above the arse and written in red under the collar which I like but biased there. Would've put Romania higher and love the Portuguese one
Loved the Scotland jersey on the field, brining in the tartan was class. Was so gutted Irelands was horrible, now it did look great on the field and under the floodlights, BUT in reality, how often are we in those conditions, also , bring back the rugby shirt collar, Wales with Marcon really knocked it out of the park too. Poor state of affairs when Canterbury are no longer innovating in rugby kit design. Irelands away shirt, that wasn't worn is actually class, but we have to move away from making rugby jerseys that look like soccer jerseys.
The only thing that does work for the Welsh shirt is the anthem on the back bottom and under the collar but yeah it's just ok! I can't agree with Scotland's being that high😂Romainia and Argentina are really nice along with Japan's but yeah Portugals 👌👌
I'm not chuffed at how similar the Nike Jerseys all look. Macron made a few different Jerseys, different collar, different patterns. But all the Nike ones look like recolours and thats quite boring 😅
That plant on the Italian jersey is called a laurel wreath. I know this because my name is derived from it. And not just my online nom de plume. I would honestly have made the Italian jersey my number 1 if I wasn't a patriotic Bok supporter.
I'm an Irish fan and those promo shots were the reason I didn't get the jersey. Honestly, it should be last place. Seeing it in the flesh it's meh...still the worst Irish jersey in decades.
I'm an Argie and I have several other countries' jerseys. I need to dadd ther black Fidji to my collection, it's a fine piece of jersey to wear casually, both sleek and powerful. Very nice design.
The saddest thing for supporters in South Africa is that the RWC replica jersey was produced in such a small run that the jersey was sold out before the Scotland game (first match), and has not been available since. Nike and SA Rugby really failed the South African supporters. As an avid fan who has replica jerseys of every RWC the Springboks have played in, this is one jersey I will unfortunately not have in my collection. The irony is that AB and France RWC jerseys are freely available here.
The Springbok being replaced on the left chest by the protea is a huge political issue (I won't go into too much detail). In a nutshell the government in SA have been trying for years to remove the legendary Springbok logo from the rugby jersey because they have no respect for the history behind it. Subsequently in World Cup years it gets relegated to the sleeve to make space for the compulsory RWC logo. Imagine the backlash in NZL if a government tried to remove the fern from any sports team's jersey? It just wouldn't happen.
The Fijian 2nd kit was my favourite of the competition
Same might have to cop one
Will you do a video on the "Alternate" World Cup jerseys for each nation? Would be interested to hear your opinions.
Great idea
Mark looking forward to Alternative WRC2023 jerseys video.
By the way, which is your ranking for more comfortable jerseys you have worn during this WRC??
Thanks for this video (and all otherones too🙂🙂). 🤙🏻👍👏👏👏👏
Saludos = cheers
🇦🇷🏉🍻👍🙂
@alexandermalan8077yes!! The Checkers/Aquafresh look is horrendous 😂.
I do think Argentina’s away kit looked pretty slick.
God that horrific Aqua splash jersey has to be 21st never mind 20th.
@gianlucacolatei5820have to agree 🔥
The reason for the French jersey being darker than usual is because France has officially changed the colour of the Tricolore to a darker blue.
You're literally right about the Italian one being royal blue because it comes from the House of Savoy, who were the royal family of the united Italy until 1946
Fun video!

😂😂😂
They seem to be stuck on with Pritt Stick 😄
To be fair, the welsh wernt expecting their jerseys to make it to the quarter finals
What was that? I have seen that happen occassionally over the years but not even 5 minutes in and the halfback had lost his number and then everyone else. Never seen anything like it!
@@PatstarDeluxe there were about 7 loose head props on the pitch by half time
totally agree with you. Got myself the portuguese, italian, georgian jersey. And also the Fiji away jersey. Not sure if it really works as a Test match jersey, but it defo works just on a daily basis
My favourite jersey at the moment is the Argentina alternate jersey. Really distinctive with the white sash
Yes!! Very slick Jersey!
I got myself the Portugal, Chile, Japan and France jerseys over the course of the tournament. I felt some of the alternative ones were really good. Fiji and Argentina in particular.
Georgia's jersey is nice, I also looked at the price after I watched them play. Scotland Jersey is one of the best for me, just wish that they had done something different with the collar and put the same tartan on their away jersey on the sleeves of the home jersey.

Nice one Mark. Loved the Portugal jersey when you unwrapped that from Marc
Me personally i liked Fiji's jersey too...simple yet sharp..however their alternate red and black kit was just 🔥
Haha I agree, when I saw the Georgian and Portugese jerseys they were the only 2 that I wanted!
7:22 The Fijian shirt you've shown doesn't have the RWC logo, but it was present on the players' shirts for their games. An uncharacteristic slip there.
Good vid. I would enjoy a reserve/alternative kit one. Did all the teams use their alternate kits?
Viva Os Lobos. So stoked that you chose the Portuguese jersey as the best. 😊
Great video!! Really enjoyed it!
I rate the Ireland jersey, SA, France
one as well look good in my opinion
Even the Fiji and Japan one
The springbok not being on the front of the jersey is a political play. Everything bad/stupid in our sport usually stinks of political interference
Bro it’s just a jersey ranking 😂 I swear you springboks fans expect to be first in everything 🤦🏽♂️
Yep the protea emblem is the sign of reform, which I do not mind.
But the Springbok logo is perceived by some as an Apartheid remnant that needs to be eradicated.
The Springbok has become synonymous with unity.
@@leongkwong2994 haha wtf are you talking about? Maybe re-read what he said before making stupid comments
@@leongkwong2994 Where did he say or hint at any dissatisfaction over rankings. As he didn't, your comment speaks more about you than him.
I agree. If they are the springboks it should be the emblem. They are not the proteas rugby team. Can we forget about the past nonsense because anyone can be a part of it now. The Springboks are South Africa's greatest hope and it should be honored... not put on the sleeve 😢
I agree with Portugal as the top choice and you’re right, there’s no horrible jerseys for the home kits. I really like Romania’s jersey and the Fiji kits (both home and away). My least favourite is the Ireland shirt

Portugal tops it for me, that gold badges and logo on it looks so amazing. NZ one looks better than photos, other honourable mentions that I think look good too is Romania and South Africa. Least favourite one for me is England, probably because it's a boring bland all-white design.
First time I saw the Portugal jersey I thought I had to have it. Looks so good
Wasn't having the best of days...saw this jersey rankings vid on my feed just now...and my day got infinitely better! Quality content Mark as always! Cheers from SA
Hope it was something a bit light hearted man!
My rankings
20. Ireland (it looks cheap)
19. New Zealand (the doodles!)
18. England (so boring)
17. Samoa (a little less boring)
16. Tonga (alright)
15. South Africa (not their best)
14. Australia (average)
13. Wales (fine)
12. Uruguay (i like this, the yellow one is even nicer i think though)

2. Japan (Wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice)
1. Portugal (Of course, one of the all time greats!)
Well done mark for doing something a little different for a bit of fun😊
We may never win a world championship, but at least we won the two cents beauty fashion!!
I truly started to love Two Cents posting! I’m going to be sad after the world cup! Love from ZA❤
Springbok and Wallaby jerseys need to sit on the heart where they always have. I can't get behind that jersey and I really wanted to.
So disappointed when you pulled the Fiji top out at 12, but then in my mind I had that black and red away jersey, which I love.
Nike really did not do their homework on quantity to produce for the springbok jersey. They were seriously short on demand
I actually really liked the Aussie jersey. I love the retro colour of it. There was a long period of time when Australia had a really light yellow, often with green bits on it, that I didn't really like in the late 90s and for many years thereafter as opposed to the deeper coloured jerseys from the late 80s and early 90s that I really liked. So I really love the retro vibe of that kit.
The Argentinian away jersey was my favourite. But Portugal’s was certainly a beauty.
Thanks for a different type of rugby video. What was the rankings of the previous world cups, o maybe do a historical one :-)

Aaaw dude, I thought this would have the alternative kits as well. Love the Namibian and Puma away strip!
As in soccer. They should move the rwc logo to the sleeve
Can you also rank the away kits (2nd kits). I thought the Springboks white and cyan kit looked great.
That kit doesn't look so good on tv, unfortunately.
Your thoughts on the nation’s championship becoming official I know you’re not too happy about the proposal based on your vid a few months ago, also how would the rugby championship go during years of them will they still do 6 games per team with home and away or just cut down to 1 game per team
I use to hate the nz one but I like seeing the ABs wear it. It's grown on me
I hated it from photos but when I saw it in person and when they were playing yeah it's grown on me. But the 2015 RWC All Blacks jersey is their all time best
Mark, it would be great if you could do the same for the alternate kits - there are some shockers out there and some really awesome looking ones too
I really like the more prominent puma on the Argentina jersey compared to the badge they had before. Sort of the opposite of what the Springboks and the Wallabies have done and it looks really slick
Love the Scottish jersey
Nice vid.
Like you, I prefer a proper collar on a rugby jersey. Unlike you, I prefer a monochrome world cup logo.
Best jersey for me was Argentina though.
Good luck this weekend!
Do a 1-20 for the alternative jerseys aswell. 💯
been watching you for ages and this is how I finally disagree with you FIji not being top 3 is an outrage hahah great stuff
Finally some proper analysis from this channel! 😂
Better late than never! 😂
Would love to see this for the alternative jerseys as well. That should be interesting.
What colour blue is the Italian jersey - clue is in the team's nick name "the Azuri" - or azure blue in English 🙂
Technically azure is between cyan and blue lol, because it has green in it, but yes azzurri/azure is the colour. I like trivial facts some ocd ish.
Grande Chile!!!!! Saludos desde Santiago de Chile, Go Condores!!!
Cool video. When you doing the away kits?
Not our Checkers/FNB packet jersey, sadly i bought it because im an avid supporter
Theres two versions of the springboks jersey, a stadium jersey (lighter green loose fit no lines ) and a match day jersey(darker green tight fit vertical lines ), Both versions sold out before the rwc started and nike messed up so much that the team during the pool games didn't have the same jerseys during the games if u look carefully. In 2019 a jersey was priced around R899...now its R1400 and R2500... Only gets sold in 4 shops nationwide nationwide wich is all sold out. The fit is loose if ur skinny and it just feels bad.
Tonga no1 for me :)..love it!!..always loved the Scotland one to..never a bad one :)
But which nation created the best alternate jersey this year?
I like Wales' black & yellow (with the high collar) as well as Fiji's black & neon pink/magenta, and the simplicity of Scotland's alternate and simple white shirt with a big contrast on the collar and sleeves is nice.
But my top alternate is South Africa's which looks new and exciting to me, and CLEARLY shows that I'm not from South Africa since apparently every 'Boks supporter detests it...
How's my logic?
Bought the Portugal away shirt. It looks great.
Where can i buy Puma shirt?
Can I ask - why was it that the Fijian jersey did not have the Rugby World Cup logo on the front as was the requirement for the rest of the jerseys?
I personally Iove the welsh jersey but their alternate kit, that’s a different story.
Where I can buy an original Portugal jersey? For around the original price 100€?
I'm italian an I feel like they are already sold everywhere 😊
...talking about jerseys...well as an Argie i must to say thank you..Safas!... and what it is the reason ...in the 60s.. the embassador of SA donated green jersey to our province team ( jujuy ) ..so since that time we adopted the grren in our jerseys. Good luck in the final.
I like the collar on the ABs shirts. Definitely think it looks a bit more classy.
Yeah the collar is great and in person, the drawings aren't too noticeable. The promo shots really screwed them over!
I liked the Japanese 2nd kit with the blue.
Great video!
Argentina looks great. Where can i buy it?
Why does fiji not have the rwc logo?
From a bias point of view, the "clashing" green and gold colours of the Boks will always be beautiful to me, although I agree that this particular jersey, and especially because of the lack of the (proud) Bok emblem at the front, looked rather dull. For me, the Los Pumas and the Japanese jerseys looked the best on the pitch. I also always like Wales' bright red too. Beautiful when they run onto the field. Nice video Mark.

People were pissed when it was first announced.
This is actually more relevant than any other ranking so far
Welsh one has the national anthem embedded on the back above the arse and written in red under the collar which I like but biased there. Would've put Romania higher and love the Portuguese one
For me, its Argentina, Japan and Italy ( they are so slick)
Gday boss are you going to do a video on the recent announcement by Bill Beaumont.
Hi, thanks from Portugal!
My personal favourite Jersey this year is SCOTLAND'S
what about the Ref's jersies?
Loved the Scotland jersey on the field, brining in the tartan was class. Was so gutted Irelands was horrible, now it did look great on the field and under the floodlights, BUT in reality, how often are we in those conditions, also , bring back the rugby shirt collar, Wales with Marcon really knocked it out of the park too. Poor state of affairs when Canterbury are no longer innovating in rugby kit design. Irelands away shirt, that wasn't worn is actually class, but we have to move away from making rugby jerseys that look like soccer jerseys.
I know this is a rugby channel but it would be awesome if you did a ranking of the nrl jerseys in league..
The French shirt has a funky texture when you look up close
The only thing that does work for the Welsh shirt is the anthem on the back bottom and under the collar but yeah it's just ok! I can't agree with Scotland's being that high😂Romainia
and Argentina are really nice along with Japan's but yeah Portugals 👌👌
The Italy jersey really stood out for me.
You mentioned that the teams can have three emblems on the jersey. However Fiji didn't have the World Cup emblem.
Lovell doesn't obviously want any money. I've been trying to buy a shirt and the web page gets stuck...anyone else with the same issue?
Ive got a 2023 allblacks world cup shirt looks great
Fiji's was easily the best for me.
In general the rugby world cup logo should be on the sleeve, the manufacturers’ logo doesn’t look well in the middle.
Do an away jersey version! I reckon the blue England one was the best jersey at the World Cup. Go Bokke!!!
I'm not chuffed at how similar the Nike Jerseys all look. Macron made a few different Jerseys, different collar, different patterns. But all the Nike ones look like recolours and thats quite boring 😅
That plant on the Italian jersey is called a laurel wreath. I know this because my name is derived from it. And not just my online nom de plume. I would honestly have made the Italian jersey my number 1 if I wasn't a patriotic Bok supporter.
I'm an Irish fan and those promo shots were the reason I didn't get the jersey. Honestly, it should be last place. Seeing it in the flesh it's meh...still the worst Irish jersey in decades.
Having bought one, I really like it, but it could definitely be better!
What do you think of the black Fiji jersey?
I'm an Argie and I have several other countries' jerseys. I need to dadd ther black Fidji to my collection, it's a fine piece of jersey to wear casually, both sleek and powerful. Very nice design.
I think the Fiji jersey could be ranked a bit higher.
The saddest thing for supporters in South Africa is that the RWC replica jersey was produced in such a small run that the jersey was sold out before the Scotland game (first match), and has not been available since. Nike and SA Rugby really failed the South African supporters.

Fiji pink jersey was mean as
two cents enjoyed your content
Mate you done this video already
?
I remember an English friend gave me his newly purchased All Black jersey. I asked him why? He said he didn't like the colour??? Go figure! lol.
The Springbok being replaced on the left chest by the protea is a huge political issue (I won't go into too much detail). In a nutshell the government in SA have been trying for years to remove the legendary Springbok logo from the rugby jersey because they have no respect for the history behind it. Subsequently in World Cup years it gets relegated to the sleeve to make space for the compulsory RWC logo. Imagine the backlash in NZL if a government tried to remove the fern from any sports team's jersey? It just wouldn't happen.
Springsboks Lion's tour jersey was their best in over 20 years, maybe more.
Was this a ranking of your favourite colours?
Right about the Japanese logo looking class
Enkoyed that. Thanks mate.
