The Evolution of the Springboks Jersey: From Heritage to High-Tech

The green and gold jersey isn’t just sportswear — it’s a symbol of national pride. Over the decades, the Springboks jersey has transformed, reflecting changes in fabric technology, design, and even the country’s history.

From the heavy cotton shirts worn in the early 1900s to today’s lightweight, breathable performance fabrics, each jersey tells a story. The collar styles have shifted, the Bok emblem has been refined, and the fit has moved from baggy to athletic.

One thing that’s never changed? The passion it inspires in every South African. Whether you own a retro collectible or the latest design, wearing it means you’re part of something bigger — the Bokke legacy.
