Cantab born and bred. I came back from the UK for a wedding in Auckland last March, flew down to Welly and bought a Retro Ricki, have worn it religiously on a tour of some of the world's capitals since. It's seen the streets of London, Paris, Istanbul, Athens, Rome and Hong Kong and now graces Hamilton - all working up to its homecomming at the ring of fire this season.
If any fellow Cantabs are hanging on the outcome of this poll before they decide to splash out on a RR V2 I can honestly say it has been the most rewarding piece of clothing I've ever purchased. I am filled with a secret pride every time I pull it on. Even the hairs on the back of my neck stand up for the phoenix when I wear my RR, in a phenomenon I never experienced when dragging on my rugger jersey. I'll never go back.
And yellow being the new red and black in Canterbury, it is sure to be at the height of fashion for a while yet. So ditch the faded and dated Crusaders jerseys and plough your hard earned into a Retro Ricki today, you'll never go back!
