- Description
Text reads 'Highlanders abandon Southland's representative colour in favour of a green away strip.' Below is a cartoon depicting Kermit the frog thinking to himself 'Yay I'm not MAROONed!' as he says 'RID-OF-IT... Rid-of-it...Rid-of-it...' A second version has the text 'Highlanders abandon Southland's representative colour in favour of a green away jumper.' Context: Kermit is a glove puppet from the children's television show 'Sesame Street'. The Highlanders new strip moves away from the traditional colours of blue and gold with a splash of maroon to a new playing strip believed to be predominantly green, with dark blue and white also included. The decision to have new colours is to underline the fact that the Highlanders are not an Otago, Southland or North Otago team. The Stags colours were largely maroon. There is a play on the word 'maroon' as a colour and the feeling that Southland is being 'marooned' as in 'abandoned.'
