The South Africa Rugby union have teamed up with ASICS and the Mandela Foundation to create a special Blitzboks jersey to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday, which will be worn for the Cape Town Sevens on 8-9 December 2018.
The jersey – which has been created as part of the Mandela 100 initiative to mark what would have been his 100th birthday – has a striking and unique pattern that pays tribute to the beloved former South African president.

The pattern is inspired by the bright and colourful ‘Madiba’ shirts that Mandela became famous for the world over, celebrating the relationship between him and South African rugby that was so famously illustrated during the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Fittingly then, the pattern itself celebrates South African sport with the protea flower, the symbol of sport in South Africa, and the SARU of course, prominently featured throughout.

They are out of stock on that webpage and I think that what they were selling were copies or expensive “replicas”. The original has embroidered Springbok emblem and no underarm mesh. I think Diane is selling an unworn original and it was still available as of today.

I am open to offers , I will delay putting it on ebay for a day or two in case you want it. Two of the logos on the shirt are printed on these shirts but mine has embroidered logos so it could be a deluxe shirt
