Lotto is a very strong brand here in New Zealand, especially at local level and following a template is the norm. A very years back 7 out of 10 teams in the local club competition played in a lotto verticle strips template.

Cheers Barri – they’re an interesting mixture – I like the Waikato kit as well Rich, I think thats the only one thats been specifically designed for the club rather than a template. The away is nice too, orange and grey!

Great collection John! As I may have mentioned before, NZ is a very small market for the kit companies. So it is more cost-effective to go for templates as opposed to purpose-designed kits. Unless you’re the All Blacks then adidas go out of their way to find new technology for the team to wear.

OK now I’m viewing this on a PC and not my blackberry, I can see that only 2 of them have a similar template. Nice to see Lotto too…don’t seem to have heard from them for a while.

Love that Waikato kit! Sad to see half the league has a template design, but also interesting that in just 8 kits, there’s quite a wide variety of designs and colours.
