Highlanders Womens Replica Jersey '97-99 Heritage

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Highlanders sublimated replica heritage jersey with traditional collar and cover stitch seams for comfort and performance. Bound hem and sleeves with embroidered chest logos, printed sponsors and Anti-Microbial and Wickable finish. STAY COOL Tech fabric.

The Highlanders 2024 Heritage jersey, born on the terraces of Carisbrook, is inspired by the 97/98/99 era which saw the Highlanders fight back from a forgettable 12^th place finish in ‘97 to semi-finalists in ‘98 and finalists in ’99 under the guidance of Highlander’s legend, Tony Gilbert as Head Coach (1998-99). 

This jersey was worn by Highlanders’ stalwarts such as Taine Randell, Josh Kronfeld, Anton Oliver, Tony Brown and Jeff Wilson.

It’s reminiscent of $3 jugs at the Gardies, the benches of the Neville Street stand and an era of rugby that remains etched into the Highlanders’ history with the infamous Party at Tony Brown’s and the heartbreak of the ‘99 final. 

The 2024 Highlanders will play Moana Pasifika and the Crusaders wearing this Heritage strip during their round 11 and 12 match ups.
