Our Material Strategy Receives Top Marks
Out of hundreds of companies evaluated, PUMA secured one of just 11 spots in leading tier.
Sundowns are known as Bafana Ba style, as they always lead the way in pushing both the football and style culture. We believe the striking new kit will ensure Masandawana remain the envy of many fans and provide a strong statement about Mamelodi Sundowns FC African roots, aspirations and achievements across both South Africa and the continent. The playing kit features the latest PUMA tech as seen on the recently launched Manchester City and AC Milan kits and is made from 100% recycled polyester to ensure PUMA’s continued focus on sustainability follows into football kit development.
The launch of this unique shirt marks the 5th year anniversary of Mamelodi Sundowns’ CAF Champions League victory. It represents the clubs ambitions to become the best Football Club on the continent and share the African artistry with the world.
PUMA and Mamelodi Sundowns first joined forces in July 2016, with PUMA having licensing rights to develop technical kits, replica and fanwear. The club continues to dominate South African football with 11 Premier Soccer League (PSL) titles to their name as well as the prestigious CAF Champions League.
The new Mamelodi Sundowns players jersey has advanced PUMA dryCELL thermoregulation technology to keep players dry and comfortable. The Mamelodi Sundowns crest appears on the left chest with the PUMA logo on the right as well as on the sleeves. There is a contrasted bonded cuff on both sleeves with Sundowns wording on the backneck. The v-neck jersey utilizes bonded finishing and stretch tape for extra comfort. The raglan sleeve construction has a mesh shoulder panel for additional breathability, with a jacquard body map on the back of the jersey for additional ventilation.
