A superb piece of early Super Rugby history, this 2001 Highlanders home jersey is made by Adidas and comes complete with its original retail tags still attached. Featuring the iconic Highlanders logo, classic blue colourway, maroon and gold detailing and the instantly recognisable Ford sponsor, this jersey captures the look of the Highlanders during the golden era of Super 12 rugby. Produced in Hong Kong during Adidas’ highly regarded tenure in rugby, this is a fantastic example of an early professional-era Highlanders jersey.

What makes this jersey particularly special is its condition. Finding a 2001 Highlanders jersey is becoming increasingly difficult, but finding one with its original tags attached is exceptionally rare. The famous Ford sponsor remains intact and well preserved, something collectors will appreciate as these sponsor applications were notoriously delicate and often suffered damage through wear and washing. As a result, this jersey is best viewed as a genuine collector’s piece and a wonderful addition to any Highlanders, Super Rugby or New Zealand rugby collection. Tagged Large and presenting beautifully throughout, this is a rare opportunity to secure an increasingly hard-to-find piece of Highlanders history.
