This morning at an Auckland Adidas store, the official 2019 RWC All Blacks jersey was revealed.

And for anyone worried about the colour, it's black.

The jersey has been designed to pay homage to both Maori and Japanese cultures.

Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, who is world renowned for his striking, avant-garde designs, said: "We wanted to create a jersey that brought together the Japanese and Maori cultures. The design bears hand-drawn koru and fern motifs in a celebration of Maori culture. It has been a privilege to work on such a major project and I wish the team the best of luck in the tournament."

As with previous Rugby World Cup jerseys, the RWC trophy is embossed on the right sleeve acknowledging the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup successes in 1987, 2011 and 2015.

The RWC2019 logo is on the right of the chest, which sees the Adidas badge move to the centre of the jersey, while the All Blacks silver fern logo remains on the left-hand side of the jersey.

The All Blacks also unveiled a blue training jersey.
