Forever green, forever gold! Here's where to get your jersey...
In a special tribute marking 30 years since Nelson Mandela first handed the Webb Ellis Cup to a Springbok captain, the South African national rugby team has unveiled a newly designed playing kit alongside a heritage jersey celebrating their iconic 1995 Rugby World Cup victory.

The heritage jersey is a faithful recreation of the one worn during the unforgettable 15–12 win over New Zealand at Ellis Park, evoking the spirit and pride of that historic moment.
The new playing kit blends tradition with innovation. It features a sleek, modern design that stays true to the Springboks’ classic green and gold colours. A standout element is the neckline, inspired by the King Protea — South Africa’s national flower — where the green base is ‘crowned’ with leaf-like detailing that symbolises growth and heritage.
Inside the collar, four stars represent the team’s four Rugby World Cup titles, accompanied by the inscription #ForeverGreenForeverGold, linking generations of excellence.
The alternate jersey is all-white with the Protea collar in traditional bottle green, while the playing range is supported by a training and off-field range for the passionate supporter.
Both the home and alternate jerseys, along with a full lifestyle collection, will be available from Wednesday (25 June) at Nike stores, major retailers, Nike.com, and other online outlets.
