All Blacks return to White - New Silver Fern and Rugby strips revealed.

The latest sporting strips for both the All Blacks and Silver Ferns were unveiled in Auckland today.

Netballers Casey Williams, Maria Tutaia, Irene van Dyk and Laura Langman were joined by All Blacks Joe Rokocoko, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock and Ali Williams to model each team's new playing strip.

A new all-white All Blacks jersey was unveiled to be used as a second strip when the All Blacks were playing outside New Zealand and there was a clash in jerseys.

It will be worn for the first time against France in Marseille this November during the All Blacks' end of year tour.

Controversy surrounded New Zealand's alternate grey and silver strip worn in their failed bid to win the 2007 rugby World Cup.

It was uncannily similar to Scotland's stylised outfit worn when the two teams clashed in pool play, causing confusion for players and spectators. The All Blacks also played in their alternate strip in the quarter-final 18-20 loss to France.

Members of both Silver Ferns and All Blacks teams were involved in the design and development of their new kits.

Yeah but you all get stupid when someone else wears Black (dark grey actually) hence the hysteria from your rugby players and PM when England "disrespect" your shirt!!!Grow up and get on with it, we won't be moaning about your white shirts (wonder what Fiji will say) and we won't playing you in all balck, whats the problem?Does this mean you will all be trying to break our players necks with more spear tackles at the world cup, as you did when O'Driscoll apparently upset you?

Maria Tutaia is gorgeous as for Samoan girls liking white guys not even hehe depends on the person I guess regardless of the heritage or ethnic background if there's chemistry it will happen trust me its happened to me many times with other cultures :)

That stupid grey jersey was crap; our alternative strip is white just as the All White's is black. Also I see our women's hockey team was wearing friggin red and white uniforms and before that I remember them in light blue FFS. Shit - we're BLACK and WHITE ladies . . .

@bombertheelephant Samoan women(pretty or not) are generally known to be less open to interracial relationships then Samoan men.

@emanresu808 She's definitely into her Samoan side thats for sure.But not too sure about her preferences when it comes to guys haha.

@bombertheelephant the problem in most cases is that those men you mention dont like Samoan girls back. Its works the other way around. White or non polynesian women LOVE polynesian men.

[bombertheelephant]

pretty Samoan girls prefer white men or men with european features!

[emanresu808]

you ain't lying maria tutaia is the prettiest samoan girl i know.. i wonder if she likes samoans? lol
