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).”

About New Kits
“Our new kit encapsulates the essence of our journey,” remarked Brett Bellinger, Marketing Director of PUMA South Africa. “It’s not just about winning trophies; it’s about embodying a culture of excellence and resilience that defines Mamelodi Sundowns.”
The Away kit, adorned in striking blue, honors Sundowns’ continental conquests, including their triumphs in the CAF Champions League. Stars woven into the fabric symbolize victories that have solidified Sundowns’ status as a dominant force across Africa.
“We’re immensely proud of what this kit represents,” said Tiyani Mabunda, spokesperson for Mamelodi Sundowns. “It’s a symbol of our fans’ unwavering support and our commitment to maintaining our position at the pinnacle of South African football.”
Innovatively designed, the kits feature a modernized Sundowns badge, “Sky is the limit” inscription on the neckline, and an authentication badge, ensuring authenticity and quality. The Authentic Players Shirt, crafted from PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric for optimal performance, promises to equip players with the technical edge needed for elite-level competition.
For supporters, the Replica shirts are made from recycled polyester, underscoring PUMA’s dedication to sustainability.
The kits will be available for purchase starting August 1, 2024, with the Authentic Players Shirt exclusively accessible through PUMA.com and PUMA Retail Stores.
Fans can also find the Replica men’s, women’s, and kids’ versions at leading retailers across South Africa, including Sportsmans Warehouse, Totalsports, Studio 88, and selected outlets.
As anticipation builds for the upcoming season, Sundowns faithful can look forward to additional fanwear options released throughout the year, ensuring supporters can display their pride both on and off the pitch.
The new kits will make their debut appearance as Sundowns face off against SV Sandhausen in Austria on July 16, 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the club’s storied legacy.
