Johannesburg – Teams playing against the Vodacom Bulls in Super Rugby matches next season will be forgiven for seeing stars when they take on the Pretoria outfit.
On Wednesday, Puma, the official technical and apparel partner of the Bulls, unveiled three new Super Rugby kits, all inspired by the stars.
Nicknamed the StellarKit, this season sees the introduction of a signature black kit – brought to life with an orange and red ombrè effect across the front of the jersey, a traditional blue kit and a re-appearance of the popular pink kit.
The Bulls play in the specially designed pink kit for one of their home games to show their support of CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa) and those persevering in the fight against cancer.
Puma South Africa’s Marketing Director, Brett Bellinger says there is something for everyone in the new kits which feature a Bull imprinted across the front with reflective material embellishments.
“The new black kit takes inspiration from the star-filled night sky, which is fitting for the Bulls – the stars in their own right, and makes for a great signature kit,” said Bellinger.
“The blue kit is for the traditional Bulls supporter and the return of the hugely successful pink kit is available in a ladies cut only – with exception of the Team who will wear the kit in support of CANSA.”
Barend van Graan, CEO of the Blue Bulls Company, says: “Our partners at Puma have once again exceeded our expectations in producing yet another amazing series of kits for our Super Rugby season.
“We are truly privileged to be associated with a brand that works tirelessly to make the Vodacom Bulls a real trendsetter in world rugby. The players, our stars, are extremely excited to don the new kit, and I believe our fans will be just as excited.”
