This 1987 Wallabies long sleeve jersey is a unique and highly interesting piece from the early days of international rugby, featuring a rare crossover between two of the sport’s most recognisable manufacturers. While tagged Canterbury of New Zealand, the jersey also features the iconic three-stripe detailing down the sleeves, creating a distinctive CCC/Adidas hybrid that reflects the transitional production period of the late 1980s. During this time, Canterbury were known to manufacture Adidas-labelled gear across New Zealand and Australia, making pieces like this an unusual and collectible example of that crossover.

Finished in the classic Wallabies gold with green collar and embroidered crest, this jersey stays true to the traditional international look while offering something genuinely different for collectors. The heavyweight cotton construction and long sleeve design deliver that authentic old-school rugby feel, with the added bonus of a story that sets it apart from standard releases. Tagged size 48 and fitting comfortably as an XL, this is a standout piece for fans who appreciate the history behind the jersey as much as the design itself.
