Black collars out, black accents in.

The All Blacks have released their alternate jersey and, while it will sell well and appeal to many, it is not one of their best efforts.

While recent efforts have been simple, demure efforts, the lacks flecks and accents are back. It is listed as the 2014/15 jersey but the All Blacks wore black in all four of their November 2014 Tests.

Nice, but it will never beat the New Zealasnd Maori jersey produced by adidas back in 2013:
