The Wallabies have unveiled their new jersey for the Rugby World Cup – and it marks a significant change from recent designs.

The jersey includes a sizeable amount of green trim around the color but – more interestingly – the Wallabies logo has been moved from the dominant position on the chest to the left sleeve. Taking its place is the Australian rugby coat of arms. This change is a design choice Rugby Australia also adopted for the 2015 World Cup jersey.
