PUMA and the Vodacom Bulls today launched the third kit to be used in the Investec Champions Cup. The kit will make its on-pitch debut when the home team take on Stade Francais at Loftus Versfeld tomorrow.
The Dark Armour Kit brings a bold, futuristic edge to the Vodacom Bulls. Contrasting horizontal panels and deep dark-blue half-tones create an aggressive body-armour-inspired design that embodies the uncompromising power and relentless intensity of the Vodacom Bulls. Built for battle, the kit reflects a team that embraces the physicality of the game, refuses to back down and enters every contest with one goal – to dominate on-field battles.
The launch of the Dark Armour third kit follows the launch of the All Roads Lead To Loftus home kit and the Tradition into Tomorrow away kit for the 2026/27 season.
Technical specifications of the official players’ kit:
1. Moisture Management: The fabric wicks sweat away from the body to keep players dry and comfortable.
2. Durability: Rugby is a tough sport, so the jersey needs to withstand constant wear and tear. Reinforced stitching and high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials are used for extra strength and durability.
3. Flexibility and Stretch: The blend of poly and spandex provides a snug, comfortable fit that moves with the body. Due to the stretch fabric and a well-designed fit the jersey allow players to move freely and make tackles without restriction.
4. Improved Handling: The additional grip dot texture on the jersey can offer better control when the player secures the ball against their body. This helps to maintain possession during tackles or when making quick movements.
The third kit jersey is available at PUMA Retails stores, PUMA.com, Totalsports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88, and Takealot. The recommended retail prices for the official replica jerseys are R1099 (adult).
