South African teams have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to cool sporting kits, primarily because their palette consists of green and yellow, possibly the worst combination in history. However, Bafana Bafana have, for the most part, made the best of a crap situation. I mean, they never had anything like this:

Or this

But, admittedly, not many teams are Stade Francais. Still, Adidas made our national team look pretty classy. The kit for the 2010 World Cup was probably the best of the lot. For a month, it seemed like all of South Africa was kitted out in this jersey, and we all looked quite stylish

However, Puma has now taken over as kit manufacturer. Puma already produces the kits of 12 African countries. If the game Risk was about football kits, Puma would have all it's pieces in Africa. Most of the stuff they produce is really modish, but when it comes to South Africa, they completely lost the plot. Lets just say if this was our World Cup kit, we would all have just worn yellow t-shirts. It is truly shit, and I hope the public backlash has made Puma realise this, and that they come up with something new really quickly. I can't imagine, in my whole life, paying R899 for this monstrosity. If SAFA paid me R899, I still wouldn't wear it. I mean, I have a reputation as a fashionista to uphold. I can't be seen walking around like an Eighties Springbok mofstok player. Before you all think i'm overreacting, behold:

No. Never gonna wear that. Never ever. Even if there's a fire. I don't need to ask the people of Mzansi to boycott the kit, I think everyone is going to do that of their own accord. It's gross. And thats that.
