The Blues will wear their 2013 limited-edition Harlequins-style jersey against France on June 11, after an online poll of fans.

Blues fans were polled to decide whether the team played in the white away strip or the limited-edition jersey worn against the Crusaders in Super Rugby round two to support Men's Health Trust New Zealand. More than 70% of the votes were in favour of the limited-edition jersey in which the Blues defeated the Crusaders at Eden Park in March.

"It's great so many fans had their say and with such overwhelming support in favour of the limited-edition jersey," Blues coach Sir John Kirwan said. "We're pretty excited to wear that strip again. It was a fantastic match last time we wore it and, given the fact it is Men's Health Week, I think this is a good result."

France will wear their traditional blue jumper in the midweek fixture, which meant the Blues needed to change.
