Blue Bulls ruby team paid a tribute to Pretoria neighbours Mamelodi Sundowns for their achievements in Africa with a kit that look like theirs.
The Blue Bulls unveil their new away kit for 2018.
Bulls revealed their away kit for the upcoming season which is a celebration of the Rugby Union’s 80 year anniversary in 2018.
Sundowns and Bulls share a technical partner in PUMA, which aims to unite football and rugby fans in Pretoria.
“Great uniforms are based on teams, not individuals and because PUMA is extremely privileged to be the official technical partner of both Bulls and Sundowns, we are in the position to exercise our creative license in terms of team kit design,” PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger was quoted by the Blue Bulls’ website.

“We believe this one-of a kind kit is going to be a sought-after collector’s item for both rugby and football fans, especially those who follow both of the city’s giants – two of the strongest sporting brands in South Africa.”
Bulls CEO Barend van Graan shares Bellinger sentiments of uniting sports fans in Pretoria by creating the rugby version of the Sundowns jersey.
“The Vodacom Bulls have always believed in a bigger dream of uniting Tshwane, one that ensures that we fight to uphold the pride of our city. Both teams represent this beautiful city and we believe that sharing our colours is a great way of expressing that. This alignment no doubt also shows an amazing unity, not only between the brands but also the sporting codes. The bold move also shows the Vodacom Bulls’ willingness to embrace and unite, to be leaders and torch bearers in the process of continually unifying our people.”
We would like to wish our Tshwane brothers @Masandawana all the best for this afternoons clash vs Orlando Pirates at Loftus Versfeld!
