About NSW Blues State of Origin
State of Origin is the annual three-match rugby league series between New South Wales and Queensland, played each year as part of the NRL season. It's one of the most watched sporting events in Australia - bigger than most club finals - and produces a level of intensity that's hard to match anywhere in world sport. Players are selected by the state they first represented at representative level, meaning the squads are drawn from across the entire NRL, with club loyalties set aside entirely.
New South Wales are the Blues, playing in their distinctive sky blue. The rivalry with Queensland's Maroons is the defining contest in Australian rugby league, and the series has produced some of the sport's most memorable moments since it was introduced in 1980.
The current NSW Blues kit is produced by Adidas under official licensing from the New South Wales Rugby League. Adidas bring their performance fabric technology to the replica range - the home jersey carries the NSW crest alongside the Adidas branding.
NSW Blues Jersey and Replica Kit
The home replica jersey is the core of the collection. It's made from 100% recycled polyester with the NSW crest on the chest and navy blue accents on the sky blue base. The replica is a regular fit suited to supporter and everyday wear.
Beyond the match jersey, the Adidas NSW Blues range includes training shirts, training shorts and singlets for gym and warm-weather wear. The singlet in particularly popular with supporters in Australia and New Zealand as well as the UK-based diaspora following the series from abroad.
NSW Blues State of Origin Training Kit
The Adidas NSW Blues training range gives supporters the option to wear Origin colours in the gym or at training without the full replica jersey. Training shirts and shorts are cut for performance use, with the NSW crest and Adidas branding throughout. The training shorts are one of the more consistently searched items in the collection - practical enough for actual training, recognisable enough to wear as supporter kit.
