Nike Unveils Mamelodi Sundowns FC New Away Kit For Season 2012/13

Nike today launched the new Mamelodi Sundowns FC away kit for the 2012-13 season at the new Nike Factory Store in Mamelodi, Pretoria East, with a special appearance by footballers from club.

Clayton Daniels, Edward Manqele, Teko Modise, Nyasha Mushekwe, Siyabonga Ngubane and Eleazar Rodgers presented the kit innovation and their plans for the season ahead to their biggest fans who turned out to meet and greet their football heroes.  “The new kit is classic and reflects the strong heritage of the club. We’ve got a great fighting spirit and the new design and innovation will help the team perform at our best this season,” said Teko Modise, Mamelodi Sundowns captain.  “It’s always great to see the support from our fans and especially today, as the fans stood in line to buy the new jersey at the Nike store in Mamelodi.  We are hoping to do them proud this season.”

The new away kit is classic white with a bold stripe in the distinctive club colours of green and yellow running from the left shoulder down to the hemline, with the club logo sitting comfortably on the chest.  White shorts and socks complete the new look. The new kits are made from fabric constructed from recycled plastic bottles, making them Nike’s most environmentally friendly kits ever produced. Each kit (shirt and shorts) is made using up to thirteen recycled plastic water bottles. This manufacturing process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with manufacturing traditional polyester. Nike has used an estimated 115 million recycled plastic bottles to create its high performance national team and club kits since 2010.

The new away jersey and extended line of supporters gear is available at all Nike Stores and leading retailers.
