New Bulls SupeRugby kit is inspired by the stars

Blue, black with shades of red and orange and pink are the range of colors in which the Bulls will be in action in next year’s SupeRugby tournament.

PUMA the official technical and apparel partner of the Bulls has unveiled three new SupeRugby kits, inspired by the stars.

Nicknamed the Stellar Kit, the 2016 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 will take to the field 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 said 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. 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,” Bellinger said.
