Mamelodi Sundowns unveil new two-star Puma kit after second CAF Champions League triumph

Mamelodi Sundowns have launched a new home kit featuring a second star above their crest, symbolising the club’s latest CAF Champions League title and underlining their dominance in African football.

Classic yellow given modern twist

The Pretoria club, known as “The Brazilians”, revealed their 2026-27 Puma home strip, retaining their traditional yellow as the primary colour but with a sharper contemporary finish.

The shirt keeps Sundowns’ familiar yellow base, now paired with a clean green trim around the collar and sleeves. The club crest sits on the left chest, updated to display two stars after Sundowns secured a second CAF Champions League crown, further cementing their status among the continent’s elite.

Main sponsors Ubuntu-Botho remain prominently positioned across the front of the jersey, while the Puma logo appears in a striking reddish shade, offering a bold contrast against the yellow background.

‘This is our ground’ – statement of intent

To mark the launch, Sundowns released a promotional video showing players sprinting through thick clouds of smoke, accompanied by the message: “This is our ground.”

The imagery and slogan are designed to project the club’s winning mentality as they prepare for another demanding campaign, both domestically and in continental competition under head coach Miguel Cardoso.

The visuals tap into the club’s growing identity as serial winners, linking the new design directly to their recent success in Africa’s premier club competition.

Fans hail ‘clean and classic’ design

The unveiling quickly drew significant reaction on social media, where supporters praised the fresh take on a familiar look. Many fans highlighted the “clean and classic” feel of the kit, welcoming the balance between tradition and modern styling.

The addition of the second star has been a particular point of pride for the Sundowns faithful, serving as a constant reminder of the club’s achievements on the African stage and their ambitions to add further silverware.

Supporters have been encouraged to browse a gallery of images showcasing the new two-star jersey from multiple angles, offering a full view of the detailing and fit ahead of its first competitive outing.

Style and success go hand in hand

Mamelodi Sundowns have in recent years built a reputation not only for their dominance on the pitch but also for their polished and high-profile kit launches.

This latest reveal continues that trend, blending the club’s heritage – symbolised by the yellow and green colour scheme – with a refreshed visual identity that reflects their evolving status in African football.

With the new season fast approaching, the kit will be worn across all domestic competitions and in the CAF Champions League, where the second star above the badge will act as a visible marker of past triumphs and a challenge to rivals across the continent.

As Cardoso’s side prepare for another campaign, the new Puma design offers a clear statement: Sundowns intend to defend their territory, at home and abroad, in colours that speak both to their history and to their ambitions for further glory.
