adminJOHANNESBURG — Absa has confirmed that the announcement it made earlier yesterday — that it will be debuting a new red and gold Springbok jersey kit – was an April Fool’s Day joke.
The campaign was designed to raise awareness for its sponsorship of the Springboks and the imminent launch of the new kit for the 2014 season.
The launch of the new-look green and gold kit is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 24 when it will be modelled and revealed to the public at an exclusive event in Cape Town.
New Official Technical Kit Partner, Asics, will unveil the Springbok jersey for the 2014 season.
After the earlier announcement, patriotic rugby fans from across South Africa took to social media to demonstrate their red-hot passion for their beloved ‘green and gold’. — Sport 24
