Mamelodi Sundowns PUMA 2017/18 Home and Away Kits

PUMA South Africa have revealed the 2017/18 home and away kits of defending CAF Champions League champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

The new Premier Soccer League club’s new kits pay tribute to the team’s “Brazilian” bloodline, under the global sports brand’s PLAY LOUD mantra.

A design feature of the shirt is the word BRAZILIANS, created in unique lettering inspired by African symbolism and embossed on both the Home and Away kits. Brazilians is the nickname the reigning CAF Champions acquired by wearing the colours of the Brazilian national team.

“With this Bloodline kit we are honouring our loyal supporters, who have been our pillar of strength in good and bad times. This kit also honours our rich history as Bafana Ba Style”, said Mamelodi Sundowns Communications Manager Thulani Thuswa, when speaking of the club’s history.

The match day shirt has performance-enhancing ACTV THERMO.R technology strategically inserted in both the front and back, to ensure players maintain their body temperature at an optimum performance level.

“Our Partners, PUMA have pulled out all the stops in terms of technology and innovation, while still staying true to our heritage”, said Thuswa. “Our players will feel like the true superstars that they are whenever they step onto the pitch in this new kit.”

The Brazilians will showcase their new kit on 7 July 2017 when they take on AS Vista in a CAF Championship pool game.

“As their apparel sponsor we are proud of the Sundowns’ dynasty and wanted the new kit to express their bloodline. The Brazilians reference is about the team colours, but also their commitment to play loud and fast, with flair,” said PUMA Marketing Manager, Brett Bellinger.
