Dubious. Not sure how I feel about the fern print.
I am, it looks rubbish.
That better not be it.
Doesn't even look properly finished. It looks like a supporters t-shirt or a training shirt. I would expect adidas know better than to mess with the icon too much
A quick google of adidas products seems to indicate that the picture above is a black version of the 'Parley' ABs range (previously just training jerseys in 'Ink' blue). They are made from plastic waste retrieved from the ocean.
It's not much different from the current home jersey except for the lack of a fake white collar and the addition of ferns in the weave.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was for real with the ABs promoting adidas' eco-friendly credentials

For real as a jersey or as a training top?
@Cyclops they never make black training tops. It is either the real mccoy or is a supporter RWC jersey made with the eco friendly material stuff while the real one will be more trad, although there really has never been a trad, just a few longish periods without much change and I really doubt anyone would want to play in those old heavy cotton CCC syeinie things anyone.
The blue one is the training jersey, dunno why they didn't specify. The away is a white version of the home one. I quite like it, only gripe for me is the front of the collar.

It looks thin doesn't it? We'll know if it's too thin when they are all getting ripped during games
I have the impression that that fern print is reasonably subtle; you can hardly see it on the photos in the first tweet that I just posted from the All Blacks account. It seems to be more shiny than white or grey. I think it will depend on the lighting, how well you can see it.

No AIG logo?
I don't think any sponsors are allowed during WC. Only Shirt brand?
Not a fan. White collar for the win for me - this is just like a bogan t shirt.
I'll still be supporting, mind you

Yep all advertising revenue goes to WR, no logo's during RWC. Only shirt manufacturer, team, & RWC. Oh plus 3 golden Wiremus on the arm

One golden wiremu with 3 calendar years I think but I get your drift!
On the ABs Shop website, there are more jerseys. White RWC away jersey, blue RWC anthem polo, a black and a blue RWC performance jersey and a black RWC supporters polo. All way above my budget, but if you've got the coin, there is some choice.
I'm with @nzzp not a fan. Needs the white collar to resemble a rugby jersey, these jerseys just look like any old sporting top, especially soccer.
And did I read it was Kiwi and Japanese inspired but I'm struggling to see anything that looks like it's been inspired by Japan or anything Japanese?
Do like the training jersey however so I might pick up one of those.
BTW, anyone think Rieko's giving his johnson a fondle in that pick with ALB?
