Netball South Africa and sportswear brand Puma presented their latest home and away kits today for the SPAR Proteas women’s team as well as for the men’s national team.

In the new kit, they included a new unisex home replica shirt – an essential for every netball enthusiast that wants to show their unwavering support to the national team.

The kit design is a continuation of the United Warriors theme from the World Cup campaign in 2023.

It features the national colours and takes the South African flag as the key design element, paying homage to the symbol that binds us all. This design also features in the new Unisex Home replica shirt.

“The national flag features in the new home and away kits because we wanted to focus on the enduring strength of the SPAR Proteas, which comes from being united in their diversity.

“The kits are inspired by teams who are fuelled by passion. By players who never say die, no matter the odds. Who always look forward to future successes,” said PUMA South Africa Marketing Director Brett Bellinger. 

The campaign video for the women’s kit features SPAR Proteas players and the inspirational words: “We remember the sweat-soaked dresses, the echoes of cheers and groans. Every catch, a shared victory.

“But our strength goes beyond the court. We are sisters, friends, family, unified by our crest and national flag. Trust. We rise together … unbreakable. This is our story. This is our legacy. We are the United Warriors.”

Netball South Africa (NSA) is the governing body for netball in the country, overseeing the sport nationwide and managing the SPAR Proteas national team. 

Since 1992, South Africa has competed internationally, mainly in Commonwealth nations.

NSA’s mission is to connect all levels of the sport, ensuring fair play, proper coaching accreditation, and that all games meet global standards.

Netball South Africa President, Cecilia Molokwane, emphasised the significant impact of a strong visual presentation on athletic performance.

“I am a firm advocate of the notion that when you look good, you play good. Our carefully crafted 2024/25 kit, in collaboration with PUMA, embodies the strength of the SPAR Proteas, rooted in their unity amid diverse talents and backgrounds.

“I am convinced that it will instil a deep sense of national pride and motivation in our players, empowering them to showcase their best on the court,” concluded Molokwane.
