Whilst everything looks as per usual, the designers have added a badge type crest with 1904 - 2017 on the left chest, a nod to the first-ever Lions tour to New Zealand.

The Lions are expected to touch down and it goes without saying that we are VERY excited!

HONOURING THE LEGACY: Here's a sneak peek of the new All Blacks jersey for the DHL New Zealand Lions Series featuring a special crest marking the legacy of the All Blacks and the British & Irish Lions. The new one-off designed All Blacks crest was inspired by that worn by the All Blacks in 1930. It features the iconic silver fern All Blacks logo and the years '1904' and '2017' inscribed above and below. The special All Blacks crest will only be on the jersey for the three DHL New Zealand Lions Series Tests. The full jersey will be unveiled on Wednesday. The All Blacks and the touring Lions first played each other on 13 August 1904 at Athletic Park in Wellington, in what was also the first Test match the All Blacks ever played in New Zealand.
