FOR PROTEAS NETBALL STARS
South Africa – the governing body for the sport in South Africa, today unveiled the Home
and Away kits for the SPAR Proteas women’s team as well as for the men’s national team.
There is also a new Unisex Home replica shirt – an essential for every Netball enthusiast
that wants to show their unwavering support to the national team.
The kit design is a continuation of the United Warriors theme from the World Cup
campaign in 2023. It features the national colours and takes the South African flag as the
key design element, paying homage to the symbol that binds us all. This design also
features in the new Unisex Home replica shirt.
“The national flag features in the new Home and Away kits, because we wanted to focus
on the enduring strength of the SPAR Proteas, which comes from being united in their
diversity,” said PUMA South Africa Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. “The kits are inspired
by teams who are fuelled by passion. By players who never say die, no matter the odds.
Who always look forward to future successes.”
The campaign video for the women’s kit features SPAR Proteas players and the
inspirational words: “We remember the sweat-soaked dresses, the echoes of cheers and
groans. Every catch, a shared victory. But our strength goes beyond the court. We are
sisters, friends, family, unified by our crest and national flag. Trust. We rise together …
unbreakable. This is our story. This is our legacy. We are the United Warriors.”
Netball South Africa President, Cecilia Molokwane, emphasised the significant impact of
a strong visual presentation on athletic performance.
“I am a firm advocate of the notion that when you look good, you play good. Our
carefully crafted 2024/25 kit, in collaboration with PUMA, embodies the strength of the
SPAR Proteas, rooted in their unity amid diverse talents and backgrounds. I am convinced
that it will instil a deep sense of national pride and motivation in our players, empowering
them to showcase their best on the court,” said Molokwane.
