    PUMA® has unveiled a dramatic new Away kit that the Vodacom Bulls

    PUMA® has unveiled a dramatic new Away kit that the Vodacom Bulls rugby team will sport in the Vodacom Super Rugby 2012 competition. The striking colour marks a significant image shift for the Vodacom Bulls and is inspired by the purple Jacaranda trees that characterise their hometown Pretoria.

    Vodacom Bulls captain Pierre Spies says: “PUMA have certainly changed the pace since their arrival at the Bulls and the team feels that our Away jersey, a complete contrast from our traditional kit, is a great way to celebrate a new partnership."



    The Away shirt, as with the home shirt launched in December 2011, has a dramatic “smash” design inspired by the phrase “bull in a china shop” and expresses the Vodacom Bulls’ powerful playing style. The complexity of the design, which combines a chevron-like effect, is designed to distract opposition players.

    PUMA South Africa’s Marketing Director Brett Bellinger says: “In designing the new Away shirt PUMA wanted to create a statement on the field, so we have opted for a striking colourway inspired by the purple Jacaranda trees that are synonymous with Pretoria.”

    PUMA has a long-term deal to supply full technical kit to both the Vodacom Blue Bulls and Vodacom Bulls rugby teams, and is the official distributor of the teams’ match replica gear.

    Surely if you need to wear pink Lycra to win a rugby game it's saying something about your confidence in your skills.

    It looks like crap, and I'm sure it's effect will be limited, otherwise the effect would have been more widespread by now.

    Isn't it Super Rugby rules that the away strip has to be white (unless you are the Crusaders)? Otherwise, can we have our yellow away strip back?

    Count our selves lucky that Gurthro Steenkamp has moved on because that would be a lot of pink.

    I like it, or more to the point, I like the attempt to break away from the staid 'old school'look of rugby.

    Let's drag rugbys image into the 21st century. Good luck to them.

    Stade Francais and Elton John in a joint litigation.

    I feel bad for Bulls fans. At least they won't have to see it live. That jersey will suit Pierre Spies.

    I'm not sure that it is a rule that away strips need to be white, just an alternative so the two teams don't clash. Does anyone know the ruling?

    I would rather we had our yellow strip back, I thought it was simply a decision by the club to stick with a variation of blue that we went to the current colours.

    On the upside, our lads should be able to ruck any player in that strip as the ref surely wouldn't penalise a player for trying to scrape sh** off his boots.
