The All Blacks' jersey has received a makeover and the new look will be unveiled in the opening Tri-Nations rugby union Test against the Springboks on July 30 in Wellington.

Jersey providers, adidas, say the new outfit will mark the biggest changes - in technology and design - to the All Blacks' jumper in more than a decade.

The jersey, which comes in time for the team's home World Cup later in the year, has been designed and tested in conjunction with several senior All Blacks including captain Richie McCaw.

"It is revolutionary and also respectful to the All Blacks' long and proud history," McCaw said.

"It's not change for change's sake.

"I'm a traditionalist when it comes to rugby and fans can rest assured that it still looks like a rugby jersey.

"It's still an All Blacks' jersey that you're proud to hold up and proud to run out and wear."
