Five All Blacks have turned to modelling with the launch of the new Super Rugby jerseys.

Jerome Kaino, Sam Cane, Beauden Barrett, Ryan Crotty and Aaron Smith have showed off the new designs.

The home jerseys largely stick with tradition and all incorporate the culture and heritage of their respective regions.

The Blues strip is the most noticeably different colour-wise - best described perhaps as an iridescent Powerade blue.

There's nothing overly offensive about any of the jumpers, and they are unlikely to generate the outrage of the famous Highlanders green.

Meanwhile Beauden Barrett said while he's enjoying a mental and physical break, he's taking steps to ensure he doesn't let himself go already.

"I've actually going to train with the boys at the Hurricanes for the rest of the week for the rest of tomorrow, and then it will be good to see all the new faces, the old faces as well."

Barrett said halfback TJ Perenara is also back at it with the Hurricanes.
