Celebrating 30 years since Australia's maiden World Cup victory, it is set to be debuted on July 7 when the Wallabies face France at Suncorp Stadium.
“This gold jersey represents more than the 15 players on the field – it’s about our history and our future. It has delivered gold on the biggest stages, it is Australia’s gold, and the thread that binds the entire nation together," RA CEO Andy Marinos said in a statement.
“Mark and his team at ASICS did not shy away from the task when asked by Rugby Australia and have put a great amount of detail, effort and focus into this jersey. To turn it around in a matter of months signals the importance and support we have enjoyed in making sure our teams are ready for battle.
“It was a memorable night earlier this year when the jersey colour was voted on, with clear indications leading into the event that the colour was a fan’s favourite with the poll prior to the event.
“I know the Wallabies are very excited to pull on the jersey when they run out at Suncorp Stadium next week and will strive to make us all proud as we unite behind the team and the jersey once again."
The excitement was shared by manufacturers ASICS, who believed the move back to gold was a 'powerful' statement.
“We’ve worked closely with Rugby Australia in recent months to ensure the colour of the famous jersey resonates with fans and players alike," said Mark Brunton, Managing Director for ASICS Oceania.
“It’s such an iconic gold with historical success, which we hope inspires current Wallabies players when they pull it on.
"To have consistency in the colour of the gold jersey moving forward is a powerful statement, and to also have a jersey manufactured here in Australia is something we’re excited to have launched in market this week for fans to purchase."
