Puma announce South Africa deal

U have done de right thing SAFA. We can't continue buying jersey for our national teams. Good job

Disco: 2011-06-07 13:41

Football is not a fashion show. What matters is the quality that is displayed by the Coach, technical team and players.

Even if it is the same as that of Cosmos, it really does not matter.

Im No Stupid Fan: 2011-06-07 13:43

Copycat of the Spurs jersey! This is bad!

tibos: 2011-06-07 13:45

Van Basten: 2011-06-07 13:45

So Adidas got free exposure on Sunday night since we did not have a jersey and the contract with them expired long time ago? Anyway I personally have a problem with Puma designs and their monopoly in Africa.

No SAFA Leadership, no. Please ask for new design or ask for replica of Italy kit in our colours, PLEASE!

Any reason for the fans or public not to be consulted when coming to design? I thought every client deserve a unique style.. but this is Tottenham Hotspurs jersey and nothing else.

KING: 2011-06-07 14:42

The is nothing wrong with the picture - the problem is that Sangoma at the corner called a YEYE, He is spoiling the picture.

Puma invited wrong trun cast to model their jersey.

pout* : 2011-06-07 14:44

Leave Yeye alone at least unlike some of you he is making a name for himself and doing an unbelievably good job of it! I always find ukuthi abantu who diss others on material things such as looks which are very tangible are just outlandish and lack character not forgetting respect!! Sad how you feel happy by trying to bring misery to abanye abantu! Shame you guys are such an embarassment

puma didnt bother to design us a kit!...they really dont give a damn about us!...is this the best they can do?...wats 'new' about this kit?.....this is tottenham kit same design different colours!.... I thout the delay to announce this sponsor was because they wanted time to design new kit... Did safa have any say in this?...... I can bet my last zim dollar that our nations cup kit will look excatly like the rest of african teams.... I mean puma designers are very lazy if they have any!...just check cosmos,platinum stars and swallows kits they all look alike!...but nike and adidas design different kits for different teams...chiefs and sundowns kits doesnt lookalike the same goes for amazulu,pie city and ajax who are sponsored by adidas!........**** puma!

Tzozo: 2011-06-07 14:55

The jersey looks bad. It looks like the stuff that we normally find in the Indian shops. For me Nike remains the real deal and the rest are just a no-no.

Tzozo: 2011-06-07 14:56

On the other hand what's the use wearing the most fashionable strip and play kaka on the field of play. Let's hope BB will do well despite the ugly kit.

Thanx God I will have R600 to buy the Springbok Jersey. Spurs has been wearing that jersey for the whole season if not more for God sake. Puma have proven that they can't do something defferent.

TEBOGO: 2011-06-07 15:17

when it comes to different designe we will never agree, to some of us Puma have always been the preffered while to some nike,adiddasetc are the favourates. it is quite sad that in this country we still have people like Afrika who are tribalistic by nature. Maybe people need to accept that things done by the association will not please every sundry. we need to unite in supporting Bafana and to me what matters most is the value of the patnership and if Puma will be doing the Development work which goes hand in hand with the association's vision why make this noise. We rally behind the assiciation because we need football Development and if we achieve it with Reebok,puma,adidas,nike or whosoever it does not matter.Thank you PUMA for your contribution in AFRICAN FOOTBALL.

King was abused a a child and this is his way of getting back at that uncle who ravaged his anu's. He grew up without a mother thats why he doestn even respect women because hers left him young and ran away with a rail road worker.

Nxa, yazi some people run this SAFA like a Tuck-Shop,we must end this sh......t.

Lawrenzo: 2011-06-07 15:30

As far as Im concerned I think SAFA was very stupid by roping in puma as our kit sponsor & 1 of the reason they prefered it was because puma promised SAFA a larger percentage share for shirt sales than Nike. They may also done it thinking puma bnrings luck to african countries interms of results & performance.

What they dont realise is that if puma promised them, say 50% of revenue, 50% of nothing is nothing if no1 or a handfull of people buy it. We shouldve been the trend-setters for africa & take over nike & I can guarantee shirt sales were gon boom i.e 30% of 15-20 million is sumthing. Puma is a good brand for clothing line & it has my respect but it sucks for soccer kits.

Who ever marketed this deal for SAFA was very stupid cos if they will claim they did feasibility study about it then they are very incompetent. If I offended any1 I apologise but thats my view. Please tell me ur suggestions regarding my view!!!

meneerJNR: 2011-06-07 15:35

great move guys it looks great i love it

Lawrenzo: 2011-06-07 15:37

mlm: 2011-06-07 15:37

puma is taking over Africa,well maybe we should praise their marketing directors as they are doing well for their company but fully stand against the decision taken by safa, is ridiculous and disgusting.puma is no match to Adidas nor Nike.France changed to Nike ,we could have done that too.

Lawrenzo: 2011-06-07 15:38

They world cup kit was splendid & I will never buy this trash. Im starting to think sum1 in SAFA was bribed too make sure they get the award for this deal, *******s!!!

It will be interesting to see spurs with their latest puma designs at the vodacom challenge whilst bafana is stuck in the past for the next two years.

Chiefs and Sundowns i'm waiting for you!

This is Tottenham ugly jersey if they wanted Tottenham Jersey maybe to make Khumalo and Pienaar comfortable they should have considered the plain one with another color on the V-neck (Plain white with black V-neck), for our case plain Gold with green V-neck and vice versa it was going to be better than this rubish and it was not going to differ much with what we were currently using to accomodate the stingy ones to come with their old addidas jerseys.
