Fashion blunder: what is it with the Wallabies' new jersey?

Hmmm, I'm not sure about the new Wallabies' jersey.

For some time other teams have worn slimfit jerseys (the All Blacks, French, the Springboks and English teams are all fans) whilst the Australians have stayed with the more traditional cut and fabric of rugby shirts.

Canterbury, the NZ company best known for rugby attire, has designed a jersey for the Wallabies to bring them into functional (and fashionable) line with these other premier teams. It stays with the predominantly gold theme of the national jersey (although this has changed over the years) with flashes of green about the neck.

But what's with the green line on the front of the jersey? The one that is meant to create the illusion of a six-pack (hey, these guys don't need the illusion - they all have them under those jerseys)?

It makes them look like they have breasts!

Oh well, they can bring on hell as they charge about the field, Gladiator-style (thanks Russ). Must have been designed by a guy.
