In a somewhat surprise move the Springbok emblem was shifted to the sleeve of the Springbok Rugby World Cup jersey. It was initially speculated that team kit sponsor Canterbury would move their logo to accomodate the Bok emblem on the front of the jersey.
Instead the jersey will now have to Rugby World Cup logo on the right and the national Protea sports emblem on the left. The Canterbury logo will sit in the middle underneath the collar.
The move is bound to cause some unhappiness amongst South African rugby supporters who are fiercely proud of the recognizable Springbok logo.
Due to IRB regulations the main team sponsor, ABSA, will not have their logo anywhere on the jersey.
That's crazy? So the players can't hold the emblem and their hearts at the same time?
