a�?Black Rhinos kit clashed with our goalkeepera��s kit. Ordinarily Black Rhinos were supposed to change their kit but they had a white kit which clashed with our infield playersa�� kit.
The match officials asked us to compromise and we agreed all in the interest of the game. This is why Ariel wore his sponsor branded (NetOne) t-shirt on top of his thermal under garment,a�? said Dube.
He added the cluba��s new kits were set to arrive at the end of this month. The club has recently been using a NetOne branded training kit for their games.A� The uniform is part of the sponsorship package with the mobile telecommunications company.
a�?The nature of the funding deal entails the sponsor engaging the kit supplier and in this instance we will be flying Roar this year as part of the agreement. The kit supplier will provide the traditional black and white strip, away set and an emergency one including track suits among other items.
a�?Our new kits arrive end of the month, the other options are branded in the older sponsor logos. There is no manager who was sleeping on duty. We could have easily refused to compromise and waited for whatever time it took for Black Rhinos to go and find a kit that would not clash and we would have been well within our rights.
In the interest of football, fairplay and respect for our fans we chose to compromise. We will gladly take the punches for this decision,a�? said Dube.
Highlanders, who are on Sunday set to fight it out against newboys Herentals at National Sports Stadium, went on to dehorn Black Rhinos 2-1 with Godfrey Makaruse and Gabriel Nyoni scoring for the Bulawayo giants.
Veteran Lot Chiunga got the face saver for Rhinos.
