Not many people will want to vomit on this Springbok jersey!
Sport 24 reports that the new Springbok jersey is likely to be popular among Springbok supporters in spite of complaints about changing the old jersey.
The jersey will be the first with the national sports emblem on the left chest and the Springbok on the right.
The changes were made after talks between the South African Rugby Union and the Department of Sport and Recreation. It is viewed as a compromise and is likely to ensure the survival of the Bok emblem.
The word “rugby” appears underneath the Protea and the Springbok leaps to the left. It appears without a rugby ball on the right.
The supporter’s jersey has the words “SA Rugby” under the antelope, but the word “Springbok” will appear on the players’ jerseys.
The names of the two main Springbok sponsors – Canterbury and Sasol – also appear on the jersey. However, it is smaller than in the past.
SA Rugby are likely to make the jersey available next month, but it can be bought on the internet at worldrugbyshop The price is R825. It is not yet available at local retailers. The jersey is likely to sell for about R900 later this month when it is made available to shops.
Sharksworld Note: On Worldrugbyshop the “Pro” jersey (with a regular collar) is listed at US$99,99 and the “Test” jersey (as shown above) is listed at US$129,99.

Well I certainly think it is a nice jersey.
A little pricey but nice.
At today’s R.O.E. of R8-43 to US$1-00, The Jerseys will cost ZAR842-92 and ZAR1,095-82 respectively.
For some reason the enlarged images have been removed from worldrugbyshop. ❓
The names of the two main Springbok sponsors – Canterbury and Sasol – also appear on the jersey. However, it is smaller than in the past. 😯 😯 😯
How much bigger can SASOL be? Surely it wasn’t bigger than that before?
yeah it is value for money, cos you can wear it to rugby and cricket now. cos it has both logos.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 3) : so the chinese cannot make fake replicas.
nice. I wants one
@try time (Comment 5) : 😀 Good one tt 😆
The Ab’s were fashion parading their new jerseys, yesterday and they look like T/Shirts. they say they are 30% lighter than their previous ones.
R900 😯 I don’t care how much of a Springbok lover I am, there is no way I’m paying that. And they wonder why poorer section of SA doesn’t seem that interested in the Springboks 🙄
@Mephisto_Shark (Comment 9) : have to agree with you here. that is almost the price of a season ticket. i would rather watch 16 games of rugby with my old 19 voetsek jersey than spend R900 on a new one that will get a nice iron mark on the paintwork within a year.
Nice design. It think the protea emblem should be about 80% the size is though. Kinda dominates the Bok.
@klempie (Comment 11) : I will PMSL when I see some of the Boks change their pose at the first national anthem and put their hands over the right breast. 😆 Let’s be honest, it’s gonna happen.
@klempie (Comment 11) : get real… that’s the whole point!
@robdylan (Comment 13) : Oh I know. I’m just saying, to me a “compromise” should be a 50/50 thing. The emblems should be around the same size as far as I’m concerned.
@klempie (Comment 14) : you think this was a compromise?
This was a gesture to allow SA Rugby to save face. Take what you can get and find a way to be happy about it.
You’ll find that the wording in some or other regulation prohibits any other logo being as prominent as the official, national one.
@robdylan (Comment 15) : Yeh, yeh. That’s what I’m saying. They must all stop calling it a compromise that’s all.
although i do hope this jersey will be a hit…everytime a lions player gets the ball they get hit by a bok jersey. my only concern is the players getting nipple rashes on both nipples now.
Regardless of what the design is I think the majority of those that were against the Bok move will not like it. Less to do with the design and more with chips on shoulders and noses out of joint.
The price is steep, but internationally inline with other top teams’ kit. I will probably get myself one seeing as my (very) old one is showing signs of age and patched in places.
Nice…expensive…but nice…
@Ollie (Comment 18) : just say it is designer wear and tear.
And for those who haven’t seen the new Bafana Bafana jersey…

@try time (Comment 20) :
Actually I just say that it is characterful. 🙂
That protea emblem remains poor, surely by now someone could have come up with a better design, but a nice jersey. Just my opinion.
@blackshark – YNWA (Comment 21) : does it have an emblem of an ass on the left.
@blackshark – YNWA (Comment 21) :
Very nice. I like.
@blackshark – YNWA (Comment 21) :
Do you know what it will cost. I bet it will be at least 30% cheaper that the Bok jersey.
@Ollie (Comment 18) :
I tend to agree. I like the jersey.
@klempie (Comment 12) :
I don’t think you will see one hand on the right chest.
@klempie (Comment 12) : i was wondering whether they would do that – could be cool but i do not think so. somehow I can imagine boks sevens to do it.
@blackshark – YNWA (Comment 21) : adidas must have smaller ego than Sasol
@rekinek (Comment 28) :
I don’t know, hand on the right is about your heart and doing it for your country not the emblem, that was coincidence.
Personally I will be a bit disappointed if anybody does put their hand on the right, it’s kinda of like saying I don’t care about the country only sticking one over the politicians.
@rekinek (Comment 29) :
Actually adidas should be compared to canterbury.
No one wants to sponsor the soccer lads to the same amount as Sasol for rugby at the moment 😉
@Ollie (Comment 30) : i hear you – the argument could be that the politicians made the storm in the tea cup so give them some of their medicine but on the other hand why go down to this level.
@rekinek (Comment 29) :
Nope! Adidas has the same size ego as Canterbury (CCC) but Bafana Bafana have no MEGA BUCK Sponsor as SASOL is for the Boks 😉
@rekinek (Comment 32) :
Eggzackerly
@Ollie (Comment 30) :
That is why I said I don’t think there will be any hands on the right.
@Ollie (Comment 31) : Oh i see you alread said it. 😳
@rekinek (Comment 32) :
YIP!!!!!!!! Why make a rod for your own back?
Come to think of it, hand on the right would also mean that their mind is not on the game at hand and that they are distracted by side shenanigans.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 33) : wonder why
@Ollie (Comment 30) : I would support dropping any asshole who did that.
Rob, have you been playing with the fonts for the site? Comments font seems bigger all of a sudden
@rekinek (Comment 38) : i hear that Poles will be playing Bafana Bafana some time June – maybe funny ..
P.S. Rob, did you get my mail, sent to your gmail
@Ollie (Comment 40) : i had the same prob yesterday
it was intermittent.
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 43) :
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I like the pic
@Ollie (Comment 44) : i thought it suited me. and a change is as good as a holiday. lots of guys on the site would prefer me going on holiday though. 😆 😆 😆
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 45) : i tend to personify people bloggers based on their pics and the pic changes completely disturb it. I think KSA is the worst in pic changing.
it absolutely does not suit what I made of you
but who cares
@rekinek (Comment 46) :
I guess I should update mine then…
@Morné (Comment 47) :
🙂
@rekinek (Comment 46) :
Hehehhehehe
The “personify people bloggers” bit is the precise reason I cannot take anything DB says seriously no matter how upset he gets with me. 😆
@rekinek (Comment 41) :
I think the Poles are sponsored by Puma.(?)
@rekinek (Comment 46) :
On that note an update of mine is in the offing. I just need to get the pic that I have scanned and loaded. 😉
@rekinek (Comment 46) : He hasnt got a pic of a donught
@rekinek (Comment 46) : i agree with you. that is why i left the batman one on forever. but i thought it is time for a change. and i thought the jersey suited my sometimes abrasive nature. it just lets people know not to take me too seriously.
@Rahul (Comment 52) : 😆
Wise Arse!!!!!!! 😆
Anyway my new pic is loaded Ctrl+F5 if you can’t see it. 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 54) : HaHaHa
@KSA Shark © (Comment 54) :
Captian. my Captain!!
Very Nice jersey!! 😀
BTW – when we were down at the coast – the replica S14 Sharks jersey was the same price as this ….now if the NATIONAL teams jesrey is this price, should the provincial teams jersey not be cheaper??? How about dividing the amount of provincial teams into the national teams price and make that the provincial shirts price?? make sense to me.. 😉 😆
Did someone mention food??? 🙄
@wpw (Comment 57) :
No we were loading pics of alcohol, but for you guys in CT it is one and the same thing. 😉
@Rahul (Comment 55) : 😛
@Prof. Ice (Comment 56) : no you get more games out of a sharks jersey, so you should pay more.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 58) : wpw wants one of your donughts! 😉
@Rahul (Comment 61) :
I’m surprised it’s only one, that he wants. 😉
hmmm – I’m hungry
@robdylan (Comment 63) : @KSA Shark © (Comment 62) :
Could any one of you please go review my bottlestore pic…?
@Rahul (Comment 61) : i never knew does had nuts. aren’t does a deer a female deer.
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 65) : Ok Im leaving before thisgets outta hand!!!
@Rahul (Comment 66) : deer deer. oh nuts if you have to. 😛
@Salmonoid (Comment 50) : me thinks too – we advanced in FIFA ranking from 41 to 40
@KSA Shark © (Comment 54) : 😈
rahul makes me think of coffee, which is good in the morning – i don’t even want to think what reading you will do to me
@Prof. Ice (Comment 64) :
Thanks.. 😉
@Prof. Ice (Comment 69) : ok – got it now
i was thinking and waiting for to get another label
@rekinek (Comment 70) :
Another label??? Black Label??
What were YOU thinkinG??
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 53) : actually – it is abrasive
You have NO HEAD ❗
@Prof. Ice (Comment 71) : aim high ice. don’t sell yourself short, go blue label.
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 73) :
Hun…I was talking about the most poular beer in SA!!
I cannot stand ANYTHING with BLUE…unfortunately – because of obvious reasons amd the fact that I lost out two years ago on a brand new set of Calloways and still owe the guy I took a bet with a bottle of Blue label…the Sharks did not make it… 😥
@rekinek (Comment 72) : if it really offends you i’ll change it again. oh and my head is in the sand.
@Prof. Ice (Comment 74) : oooh. you must really hate steve walsh. no wonder the guy has been booted out as a ref. you put a hoodoo on him.
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 75) : neee man, just liked the previous one. but will get used to the new one 😛
@Prof. Ice (Comment 74) : try to win back – bet him again 😆
@rekinek (Comment 77) :
I tried to last year with the CC…hy was so bietjie bang..with right though!! 😆
@rekinek (Comment 77) : yeah i did too. mmm. hopefully i kept a copy of it somewhere.
@Morné (Comment 47) : ok. now I think you are all alcoholics 😈
@rekinek (Comment 46) :
@rekinek (Comment 80) :
And my picture?? Does it suit me?? 😆
green just isn’t my colour.
@rekinek (Comment 68) : Amazing what winning 10-0 can do for a teams world rankings. They probably would have dropped a few places if they had won 5-0.
@rekinek (Comment 80) :
When are you going to load yor Zubrowka picture?
@Salmonoid (Comment 84) :
Of Zorba!
@Prof. Ice (Comment 85) :
Oyzo ❓ I promised my body that I wouldn’t disrespect it ever again with that stuff.
@Salmonoid (Comment 86) :
Ja – but a lekker cheapy!! 😆
My big NO NO is Straw rum…one Up-side-down shooter on one of my birthdays and I was upside-down! 😳
Zorba is a clear wine aperitif, made from a selection of imported herbs with a distinctive, refreshing, clean herb taste. It has a 22,5% alcohol/volume content.
The marketing people only know how to “zhoosh” something up!!
@Salmonoid (Comment 84) : DONE ❗
now it depends on Rob or KSA how quickly it takes – but considering the subject KSA shall have no problem
@Prof. Ice (Comment 81) : can’t see clearly ……
@try time (history forgets losers) (Comment 82) : 😛 😛 😛
@Prof. Ice (Comment 87) :
One, at the most 2 Stroh rums, with black coffee to end the night is good.
@Salmonoid (Comment 91) :
Not if you weigh in at 46!! i cannot even smell the stuff and I fall over – or is that actually the reason to take it at the end of a night?? 😆
@rekinek (Comment 89) :
Remember what KSA taught you….Ctrl F5…. 😉
@Prof. Ice (Comment 93) :
mine is up as well – now i feel like I fit with you people
@Salmonoid (Comment 91) :
Should only be one, but what happens is that after that one, with Black coffee (NB), you get a really good feeling, partly because you survived the Stroh but mostly because its bloody nice. This ias the danger time when you think you can conquer the Blue Bulls at Loftus on your own. At this stage allow yourself at the most 1 more or its night. Ok maybe 2 more at a real push.
There you go. Bison Grass Vodka – some people swear it has medicinal properties. 😉
@rekinek (Comment 94) :
Mine stays the same afterall what goes better with your favourite drink than a pristine beach. Remember to leave only your footprints.
@Salmonoid (Comment 95) :
I’ll leave it to you – just now I start behaving like a Blue Bull – let alone take them on alone at Loftus!!
Be Good – I am off to my night job…
@rekinek (Comment 94) :

😀
@Prof. Ice (Comment 98) : cheerio – I’m off as well – back to my day job still 😕
@Salmonoid (Comment 97) : 😛
@rekinek (Comment 94) :
I cannot distinguish what that is but i CAN tell you it looks like it has a Bull in the logo, so i probably WON’T like it. 😉
@Salmonoid (Comment 99) : couldn’t play sound now 😕 – will check later.
I actually still have some of the staff at home – best with apple juice.
byeeeee – off I go
@KSA Shark © (Comment 101) : It is a BISON 😈
I don’t do livestock
