Reigning South African Premier Soccer
League champions Mamelodi Sundowns return to their traditional blue and
white colors for this year’s away matches, after donning an all-white
away kit for the past two seasons.
The shirt features large
multi-tonal blue chevrons from the shoulder to mid-section with a bold
yellow trim on the cuffs. The shirt has a V-neck collar with a thinner
yellow trim.
The new away shorts are white, while the new away socks are white with a distinctive yellow band and green trim.
The new away kit will be available on www.prosoccer.co.za and in stores from July 2014.
Nike’s signature style and design insights are incorporated into the new away kit and offer players the very latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.
Laser-cut ventilation holes and mesh panels in key areas of the kit
also improve performance by increasing air circulation to the players’
bodies and regulating their temperatures throughout 90 minutes on the
pitch.
The kits are made of a new dual-knit fabric consisting of cotton and recycled polyester, which as well as removing sweat offers a softer feel and an overall more flattering appearance.
The kits are made from recycled plastic water bottles. The shorts are 100 percent recycled polyester; the shirts are 96 percent recycled polyester, while the socks are 78 percent.
Each kit is made using an average of 18 recycled plastic bottles; over the last four years Nike has diverted almost two billion plastic bottles from landfills to produce kits.
By using recycled polyester Nike is also reducing the energy consumed in the entire process by up to 30 percent.
The new fit allows the body to move more naturally within the kit, and so effortlessly improves players’ comfort and performance.
The Nike Elite Match fit sock for 2014 also boasts a sleeker and updated design created especially for football.
Nike’s designers spoke with many of today’s elite players to gain insights in to what they wanted from a sock during a game.
There are now strategically cushioned zones to provide comfort and protection around the big toe and the anklebones where the majority of impact occurs, while arch support provides a firm foundation for the foot to prevent any slipping.
There is less material on the sock to enhance players’ touch, while flex grooves on the ankle and top of the foot prevent bunching.
