The yellow and black of Wellington.
From 1996 to 2016, a factory of All Blacks
Founded in 1996 with Super Rugby, the Hurricanes represent Wellington and the south of the North Island, from Manawatū to Hawke's Bay. Long known for their flashy style of play but lacking titles, they lost the finals in 2006 to the Crusaders and in 2015 to the Highlanders, before winning the Super Rugby in 2016, twenty to three against the Lions, in Wellington. The club has produced some memorable All Blacks, from Jonah Lomu, Christian Cullen and Tana Umaga to Beauden Barrett and Ardie Savea.

The cake tin and Wellington's yellow
The Hurricanes play at the regional stadium of Wellington, opened in 2000 to replace the old Athletic Park. Its round shape and metal cladding have earned it the nickname "Cake Tin", and it can accommodate about thirty-four thousand five hundred spectators. The club also hosts, some years, relocated matches in other towns in its region. The shirt combines yellow and black, bright colours that match the image of a fast and agile team, often exposed to the wind sweeping through the New Zealand capital.
Choosing the version and size of a Hurricanes shirt
New Zealand shirts are often cut close-fitting, especially the player version worn in matches. For this, you measure your chest and take a size up if you want extra room. The supporter version, which is looser, is chosen in your usual size and is easy to wear every day. For a child, it's better to rely on height rather than the age suggested. Since yellow is a sensitive colour, wash the shirt inside out at thirty degrees, separately from dark clothes during the first washes, and dry it in the shade.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Super Rugby Pacific, which gathers franchises from New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. The championship takes place in the first half of the year, before the international test period.
Is there a training shirt for the Hurricanes?

Is a Hurricanes shirt a good gift?
Yes, for a fan of New Zealand rugby who wants something other than the black of the All Blacks. Its bright colours and rarity in France make it a unique shirt, appreciated by travellers returning from Wellington.
How to store a collection shirt?
Folded flat in a cotton cover, kept away from light and moisture, it will retain its colours for years. Avoid thin hangers, which distort the shoulders, and plastic covers, which trap moisture.
