Platinum Stars Unveil New 2012/13 Kits

Platinum Stars and Umbro officially unveiled the new Dikwena playing kit for the 2012/13 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season on Monday.

The ceremony was held at the Bafokeng Plaza and saw the Platinum Stars players parade their new state-of-the-art Umbro home and away kits that they will wear in battle in the coming season.

The new kit takes its inspiration from the colours of the Bafokeng Nation, with a unique style that gives Platinum Stars its own identity and signature look.

The Umbro design team used the ‘Platinum’ green and dark navy colours to accentuate the heritage of the team and the Bafokeng Nation, adding in a modern look and feel that makes it a must-have fashion item too.

Umbro took great care to ensure that the kit was unique to Dikwena, and that supporters who purchased their replica kits would be proud to wear a garment that that is perfectly tailored and is iconic to the club.

Donovan Bell, Sales Manager at Umbro SA, says they are delighted with the partnership with Platinum Stars.

“We are very proud to be associated with Platinum Stars, an ambitious Premier Soccer League club who we believe have the potential to be one of the biggest in the country. At Umbro SA we pride ourselves on quality and excellence, and we choose partners who we believe will also embody those principles. We certainly believe we have found such a club in Platinum Stars and we look forward to seeing them in PSL stadia across the country in their Umbro kit,” Bell says.

Platinum Stars and Umbro announced their partnership for the next two seasons at a signing ceremony in March 2012.  The two parties already had a prior connection. The England team that competed at the 2010 FIFA World Cup were sponsored by Umbro and stayed at the world-class Bafokeng Sports Campus during the tournament.
