good luck for puma and SAFA, I will keep up with Adidas in my local team. No love lost for national team, it is not puma that has anything to do with wining games.Up untill my team decide another route I will keep my Adidas. Anyway for record sake why not bring back "puma jomo sono"?Ithink many will identify with that.Puma and Jomo did a deal many years ago so this must not be seen like a new thing. We do not have to do new things all the time, we can still use the old. Puma trouble maker will say also a lot about Jomo and his excellent legacy. Jomo is back for good and I can count on getting even more good players from him. Jomo sends the very best to his old home team. He has done that for ages and we also dedicate our treble to Jomo Sono. Thank you Sir for never forgetting home and making sure we have superior talent. Let Bamuza come home for a season or two, please my brother.
