Springbok logo at Rugby World Cup events
The placement of the Springbok logo (on the left sleeve) is an inevitable consequence of the current Rugby World Cup regulations.
The temporary relocation – as well as the Springbok logo’s scaling – are to conform to the contractual requirements of the tournament organisers.
This placement only applies to World Rugby events and was first communicated by SARU in October 2010. The Springbok logo has been placed on the left sleeve of the playing jersey at all subsequent Rugby World Cup men’s women’s, Sevens and Under-20 tournaments.
Other nations – such as Australia – also relocate their team emblem to the jersey sleeve for World Cup events.
The placement is not determined by the apparel sponsor; it is an inevitable consequence of the current regulations.
