This 2000 Chiefs jersey marks a unique chapter in Super Rugby history — the first-ever Adidas-produced Chiefs kit, taking over from Canterbury of New Zealand. Representing the Waikato region, this jersey introduced a bold new era for the franchise.
While the jersey is in very good overall condition, the original heat-pressed logos from this era are known to be fragile — even under delicate washing. This jersey’s logos are still intact, but we strongly recommend hand washing and avoiding soaking to preserve them. Alternatively, logo replacement is a viable option for long-term wear.
Tagged Small, this is a rare size to find for this iconic jersey, making it a sought-after piece for collectors and die-hard Chiefs fans.
Please note all pictures shown are of the actual jersey up for purchase.
