PUMA and Mamelodi Sundowns unveil African Dawn kit
Global sports company PUMA and 13 times league champions Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club (MSFC) have launched the African Dawn kit.
The team will use the kit in the inaugural African Football League with matches starting this weekend with Mamelodi Sundowns kicking off their campaign on Saturday, 21 October with a trip to Angola against Petro Luanda and the return leg to be played on Saturday the 24 October in Tshwane. The two legged finals of the newly established competition will be played on 5 and 12 November 2023.
The dark blue kit in PUMA Navy, inspired by the colour of the African sky at the dawning of a new day, features a Pele Yellow ribbed crewneck and yellow ribbed cuff. The CAF Champions League Star appears above the club badge and the letters MSFC appear on the back of the neckline alongside a map of Africa.
“With the team about to represent the Nation in the inaugural African Football League we have designed this kit to honour Mamelodi Sundowns as they take their place amongst the other as giants of African football. A new League deserves a stylish and special kit for our Team,” said PUMA Marketing Director Brett Bellinger.
Technology in the player’s shirt ensures this is the lightest ever PUMA shirt, weighing just 72 grams. The material construction has a structured, 4-way stretch to reduce weight and friction. The trims use a new, lighter and more breathable print technique while the bonded seams create a comfortable, lightweight feel.
Mamelodi Sundowns’ spokesperson, Tiyani “Shuga” Mabunda welcomed the initiative and said:
It is an honor to be selected as one of the top teams on the continent to participate in this prestigious competition and we could not have chosen a more befitting time to launch this special kit for the Yellow Nation. We trust that the kit will propell our players to break new boundries and reach new heights.”
The African Dawn shirt will be available on 16 October 2023. The match shirt with official heat press badge (R1499) will only be available on PUMA.com and the sundownsfc.store. Meanwhile, the Replica with official embroidery logo (R1099), will be available from the sundownsfc.store and PUMA.com, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88 and Totalsports.
