Following theHerald’s story published on Tuesday afternoon,13,389 readers voted on what coloured jersey they believed should be used.
Of the eight jerseys that will be voted on,three in particular dominated in theHerald’s poll.
In front with more than 4000 votes (30 per cent) was the classic jersey worn by Nick Farr-Jones’ side that beat England 12-6 in the 1991 World Cup final at Twickenham.
It appears the older the better,with the top three – 1991,1984 and 1999 – recording 77 per cent of total votes.

The adidas three-stripe jersey,a personal favourite of Wallabies great Simon Poidevin,recorded 25 per cent of votes,narrowly ahead of the 1999 shirt (22 per cent) that has become synonymous with Australian rugby’s golden era.
In fourth place was the Wallabies’ kit of 2020,followed by what the team wore in 2010 and 2007.
