So how much will the Springbok jersey cost you?
The Home and Alternative jersey – with prices ranging from R999 to R2599 – as well as the lifestyle collection will be available from Friday (7 July) in Nike stores and major retailers.
“The Nike designers worked closely with the team to design a kit that reflects the history of the team and South African culture,” a statement from SA Rugby read.
“The classic ‘green and gold’ jersey has been reimagined to include a traditional collar with the underside of the collar giving a nod to the South African flag. As an acknowledgment of the team’s spirit, the phrase “Stronger Forever” is inscribed on the inside collar.
“The bold new alternative jersey pays homage to the local cultural through the patterned print and the colourway was inspired by and celebrates the hues of the local nature.
“Ventilation mesh panels in key areas of the kit also improve performance by increasing air circulation to the players’ bodies and regulating their temperatures.”
South Africa’s other national teams will also appear in new Nike-designed apparel. The Springboks’ Rugby World Cup jersey following the same design will be unveiled next month. (https://modtreks.com)
