While hype around the Bulls’ new Home kit might have been overshadowed by them playing the All Blacks, the new Away kit might add a bit more momentum. Indeed, PUMA and the Vodacom Bulls have now launched the Away kit for the 2026/27 season, also including training jersey replicas to purchase.

PUMA notes the Tradition into Tomorrow Away Kit, which features distinctive teal and navy colourways, is inspired by iconic 1990s sporting apparel which featured a striking combination of bold colours and geometric shapes.

Furthermore, the company notes the design graphic on the new Away Kit transforms into flowing organic patterns that express a fluidity of movement. The retro-futuristic design of the Tradition into Tomorrow kit captures the team's proud legacy, dynamism and commitment to pushing boundaries on and off the pitch.

One point of concern, however, is how close the teal and navy colours are to the blue home kit and whether this might cause a clash of colours away on tour.

An interesting proposition this year is that the official Bulls replica training jerseys will also be available to purchase. The Tradition into Tomorrow design carries over to the replica jerseys, available in either light blue and yellow or in navy and pink. If tradition is anything to go by, the pink version might be a hit amongst female Bulls fans, echoing the iconic pink Vodacom Bulls jersey launched in 2012.

One could imagine the pink training jersey used as a stand-in during games where the away kit’s colour might clash.

Here are the 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 grip dot texture is typically not available on the replica kit.

The Away jersey and training jerseys is available at PUMA Retails stores, PUMA.com, Totalsports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Studio 88, and Takealot. The recommended retail prices for the Replica jerseys are R1099 (adult), and R999 (junior sizes), with the Replica training jerseys available from R849.
