The New Zealand Kiwis have unveiled their new kit for the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.
The jersey features the classic white V stripe on jet-black, as well as several traditional cultural patterns on the back and sleeves.
The patterns were designed by team cultural advisor Ora Kihi, who used the players' tattoos for inspiration.
