Mamelodi Sundowns and PUMA have revealed the club’s new away kit for the 2026/27 season, with the design commemorating the Brazilians’ second CAF Champions League title.

The Masandawana strip features a blue shirt, white shorts and blue socks. Two stars have been placed above the club crest, representing Sundowns’ continental successes after the club lifted the CAF Champions League trophy for a second time in May 2026.

The kit launch is built around the theme “Fueled by the Sun”, a campaign intended to reflect Mamelodi Sundowns’ energetic style of football and established winning culture.

Bold geometric shapes cover the shirt, drawing inspiration from the power and intensity of the sun. Royal blue and navy form the main colours of the design, while the club’s familiar yellow details provide a distinctive contrast and a modern finish.

PUMA South Africa Marketing Director Brett Bellinger said the shirt had been shaped by the energy associated with the club.

“The new Away Kit is inspired by the powerful energy that defines Mamelodi Sundowns,” said PUMA South Africa Marketing Director Brett Bellinger.

The new design also carries a message for Sundowns’ supporters, whose role in the club’s identity was highlighted by former captain and current club ambassador Hlompho Kekana.

Kekana said the jersey paid tribute to the fans whose singing and drumming continue to motivate the team at matches, both at home and away.

The two stars above the crest provide the most prominent reminder of the club’s latest achievement, while the sun-inspired patterns connect the shirt to the campaign’s central idea.

By combining the royal-blue and navy colour scheme with yellow accents, PUMA has retained a clear visual link to Mamelodi Sundowns while giving the away strip a different appearance from the club’s traditional home colours.

The kit will represent the club during the 2026/27 season, following a campaign in which Sundowns’ second CAF Champions League crown became the defining reference point for the new design.

For Mamelodi Sundowns, the shirt brings together the club’s continental success, attacking identity and the support that follows the team wherever it plays. Its two stars, positioned above the crest, formally mark the significance of the May 2026 triumph.
