Global sports brand PUMA, in collaboration with Netball South Africa, has officially unveiled the Home and Away kits for the SPAR Proteas women’s team and the men’s national team. Additionally, a new unisex Home replica shirt has been introduced, perfect for netball enthusiasts wanting to show their unwavering support for the national teams.
The kit design continues the United Warriors theme from the 2023 World Cup campaign, incorporating the national colors and prominently featuring the South African flag as a central design element. This homage to the flag symbolizes the unity that binds the nation together, and the same design is reflected in the new unisex Home replica shirt.
Brett Bellinger, Marketing Director at PUMA South Africa, explained the significance of the flag in the kits: “We wanted to focus on the enduring strength of the SPAR Proteas, which comes from being united in their diversity. The kits are inspired by teams fueled by passion—players who never give up, regardless of the odds, and who always look forward to future successes.”
The campaign video for the women’s kit features SPAR Proteas players and delivers an inspiring message: We remember the sweat-soaked dresses, the echoes of cheers and groans. Every catch, a shared victory. Our strength goes beyond the court. We are sisters, friends, and 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 emphasized the importance of a strong visual presentation in enhancing athletic performance. “I firmly believe that when you look good, you play good.
Our carefully crafted 2024/25 kit, created in collaboration with PUMA, embodies the strength of the SPAR Proteas, rooted in unity amid diverse talents and backgrounds. I am convinced it will instill a deep sense of national pride and motivation in our players, empowering them to showcase their best on the court,” Molokwane stated.
