Mamelodi Sundowns and international sports company PUMA have launched the home and away kits for the 2024/25 season.
The Tshwane giants have been partnered with PUMA since 2016, following their split with Nike, which had been their sponsor since April 2008.
Donning the new kit, the Brazilians aim to start the season on a high note, defending the DStv Premiership title and succeeding in all other competitions.

Explaining the design of the new jerseys, the club’s statement said: “The Rise.Rule.Repeat. kits are in the traditional yellow for home and blue for away, with an African-inspired pattern featuring graphics of crowns and stars.
The design tells the club’s story from its establishment (the Rise), with the crowns representing consecutive PSL titles and overall dominance in South African football, and the stars representing the men’s and women’s teams’ success in the CAF Champions League (the Rule) and the unprecedented run of success which stands at 14 league titles and counting (the Repeat).”
