悉尼公鸡队获得阿迪达斯德国总部的特殊批准，将其原住民主题球衣上标志性的三条白纹改为红、黄、黑三色，以代表第一民族旗帜[1]。这一改动在澳大利亚体育史上属于首例，球队需要获得全球总部高层的同意才能对球衣进行此类重大改动[1]。新球衣将在周五对阵斗牛犬队的比赛中首次亮相[1]。
阿迪达斯太平洋地区总经理瑞秋·霍华德表示，"改变三条纹的权限仅保留给具有深刻文化或社区意义的时刻"[1]。悉尼公鸡队首席运营官贾罗德·约翰斯通解释道，"我们在去年年底联系了阿迪达斯，给他们充足的时间评估我们的请求"[1]。公鸡队与阿迪达斯签订了为期四年的合作协议，目前处于合作的第一年[1]。这款新球衣由前球员克雷格·萨尔瓦托里的女儿凯莉设计[1]。
The Sydney Roosters have obtained unprecedented permission from Adidas's German headquarters to modify the iconic three stripes on their Indigenous-themed jersey, replacing the traditional white stripes with red, yellow, and black to represent the First Nations flag [1]. This marks the first instance of such a modification in Australian sports history, requiring the NRL club to secure high-level approval from the global sportswear giant's headquarters [1]. The redesigned jersey will debut on Friday in a match against the Bulldogs [1].
The new design was created by Kelly Salvatori, daughter of former player Craig Salvatori [1]. According to Rachel Howard, Adidas Pacific regional manager, the company reserves the right to alter the three stripes only for moments with profound cultural or community significance [1]. The Roosters, who are in the first year of a four-year partnership with Adidas, initiated contact with the brand at the end of last year to allow sufficient time for evaluation, explained chief operating officer Jarrod Johnstone [1].
