The Springboks will wear a specially-made jersey for the upcoming Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks.
Nike, the manufacturers, and SA Rugby said Wednesday in a press release the Springboks’ jersey is “like no other”.
The new-look jersey honours the team’s connection to the nation, say SA Rugby.
“At the heart of the jersey design is a subtle, tone-on-tone graphic featuring the lyrics of South Africa’s national anthem, Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, printed in the shape of the South African flag.
‘A tour like no other’“This truly is a Tour like no other and so is this jersey,” said Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby.
