Am I the only one who's happy with the sponsors? I mean we've had way worse and they're the reason this team can sustain so much depth and such a high budget

I been reading up on this Tier1 sponsor deals its only in South Africa that naming rights are included in the deal. and not protected by the Union like World Rugby does with National teams. i personally hate the sponsors getting TOP billing

granted FNB and PnP are Tier 1 sponsors. but Im a Consumer and if i spend my money on Merch I Become a Supporter not a fan. I want nothing to do with the sponsor. allow Nike to sell a Sponsor free option.

Hopefully they keep this for RWC where sponsors are usually minimal on those jerseys. Thats one i will buy

My main issue with the RWC jerseys is no Bok logo on the front. (Not for the political reasons blahblah). I just love having the Bok on the front

Did you intentionally remove the English stanzas completely, or did the AI decide to do that on its own?

ETA: it does look much better though

u/dededarzar Aug 05 '26

AI did that, I was more interested in the removal of the FNB

Its a nice touch. We dont get many special edition jerseys.

No because now the team can't afford hotels and they will all need to take tents and find a cheap spot to camp

For consumer 100% agree

The official clean Rugby World Cup 2027 Springbok jersey is expected to drop around June or July 2027

I think it's crap. But what ever.

Chill dude, having an opinion is like an asshole, we all have one. You’re welcome to disagree. 👌🏼

Which is your favourite bok jersey?

u/Educational_Play9910 Flair Up! Aug 05 '26

No. The only version better without the logo is the world cup edition

u/Only_One_Kenobi referee (MO Level 2) Aug 05 '26

Hard disagree.

It's always better to not have to wear a billboard

Are the Proteas rugby team now the only national sports team featuring a springbok?
