The story
Mamelodi Sundowns continue their fruitful relationship with Global sportswear brand, PUMA and have showcased their strips for the upcoming season.
These kits are a slight departure from Masandawana's bespoke, artistic PUMA kits, designed by KidSuper for the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup tournament, as they follow a more traditional design approach.
Despite PUMA's more conventional approach to Downs' new Home and Away kits for the 2025/26 season, the designs certainly don't lack any dazzle.
PUMA's 'The Art of Play' kit design for the Brazilians is inspired by the combination of strategy, precision and artistry with which the club approaches the beautiful game.
The Home kit features a traditional design with a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and white socks, while the alternate kit consists of a white shirt, white pants, and blue socks.
The key difference between the two kits lies in the details. Both kits are distinguished by an eye-catching "Art of Play" graphic displayed on the side panels of the shirts and shorts.
The campaign video was created by the Lucan agency, in collaboration with local artist Simangaliso "Panda" Sibaya, to showcase the Art of Play through animation.
In the video, players celebrate by running off the field at the end of the game, leaving behind a heat-map style trail of patterns.
As the camera zooms out, it becomes evident that the players' movements have created the pattern featured on the 2025/26 kit, highlighting the connection between Masandawana's aesthetically pleasing style of play and the kit design.

"The new look Sundowns kit is a celebration of the style of play that has earned this amazing Club eight PSL titles in a row, a Champions League star and many other accolades not least of which was their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup where that skill and style was on display for all to see," said Brett Bellinger, PUMA SA Marketing Director.
"The kit pays homage to this in a beautiful way with the underarm print using the unique, almost kaleidoscopic pattern inspired by traditional hand-dyed fabric combined with traced movements from analysing Mamelodi Sundowns games.
"This jersey reflects our identity and unique style of play, shoe-shine-and-piano, which was on display at the FIFA Club World Cup. Our style of play, which is synonymous with patient build-up play, style and flair, is what our supporters are accustomed to," said Tiyani Mabunda, Mamelodi Sundowns spokesperson and club legend.
"Whenever Masandawana raise their hands when they sing or wave to push on the players, they will display our identity, which will remind the players of what the supporters expect of them," added Mabunda.
The Home and Away shirts will be available on 7 August 2025. The Authentic Players Shirt for R2299, the Replica men's and women's for R1,299, and the Replica kids' for R1,199.
The Authentic pre-match long sleeve zip top for men will also be available for R1,599. Available at PUMA retail stores, PUMA.com, JD Sports, Totalsports, Sportsmans Warehouse and Studio 88.
