Another new innovation from the Bulls, South Africa’s most successful Super Rugby franchise!
InvisBull becomes visible as PUMA launches the new Vodacom Bulls Super Rugby kit for 2104. Playing on the fact that Camo is designed to make you invisible, PUMA has launched a Camo Home shirt which stays true to the traditional Bulls’ blue, while the Away shirt is khaki green and brown.
In the lead up to the reveal, PUMA ran a teaser Youtube video

As part of a campaign entitled “The Nature of the Bulls: You never see them coming”.
With camouflage being a major seasonal fashion trend across the globe, the fanwear has a cool, fun appeal – the shirts retail for R649 and can be snapped up as ideal festive season gift in either or both colourways.
Blue Bulls Company CEO, Barend van Graan, says: “PUMA have certainly transformed the pace since their arrival at the Bulls and the team feels that new Away khaki green and brown jersey, a complete contrast from our old-style kit, is a bold statement towards distinctiveness.”
Brett Bellinger, Marketing Director of PUMA South Africa, says both the Home and Away kits have been launched in advance of the December period to give Bulls fans a chance to get their hands on a jersey before their first match in February 2014.
“We wish Frans, Pierre and the rest of the Vodacom Bulls team and management all the best in the coming season; we hope that the players and fans are inspired by the kit and that it brings with it a good dose of PUMA luck,” says Bellinger.
Min tradisies in die lewe oor wat saakmaak, met alles wat verwater word om kommersieel sin te maak, aandag te trek, die mense te entertain.
Ons het ‘n “Kitskos” kultuur geword, die mensdom van ons… alles gaan oor onmiddellike gratifikasie en nie oor langtermyn waardes nie.
Daar’s TV programme oor Reeksmoordenaars, honderde Kriminele Investigation en Mediese TV programme… en dan ook al hierdie verdomde ‘Reality TV’ tipe kak en hare… en alles word honderde kere herhaal om dit behoorlik in ons kele af te druk.
Ons moet ou tradisies koester, trots wees op ons herkoms en op die herkoms van ander, anders verval ons in hierdie pit van “Wêreldkultuur” of “Popular Culture” en mens eie identiteit gaan daarmee heen.
Vir my het die HAKA definitief sy plek… om dit egter te reguleer soos wat die IRB doen, het vir my geen bestaansreg nie.
Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth has been been ruled out of rugby for up to six months after revealing he needs undergo ankle surgery.
Etzebeth, 22, was injured playing for the Springboks against France in Paris last Saturday.
He confirmed his lengthy stint on the sidelines via his official Twitter account on Thursday.
“Just for those who would like to know, going for operation on Monday. +-6 months out of action. Have a great day people!”
This means he will miss a large portion of the Stormers’ 2014 Super Rugby season.

Honestly, it looks better than the Kapoen Orange your Team wears… hehehe
PS! I make anything look good… hahaha
Orange is so….. last season… hehehe
Strange, strange weather we’ve been having!
About 2 weeks ago, BIGGGGGGGG hail fell here by us, knocking all sorts of dents in my office roof, as a result of which I have 3 new water leaks in my roof… and it’s has rained almost every day since, so the roof has not dried sufficiently for me to treat it.
At the same time both Handbriekie’s car and BonzaiHandbriekie’s VW Bus was outside while it hailed… both with some damage but luckily not major damage.
Round about the same time a client of mine in Boksburg’s brand new 3 Series BMW (18km on the clock) was pelted by MASSIVE HAIL stones and it also broke 178 tiles on his roof. BMW looks like a golf ball, it has so many big dimples.
Today, Handbriekie’s partner, Leoni’s brand spanking new Toyota (less than 2000km) PLUS her husband, Attie’s almost brand new Bakkie (3000 km) were stuck on the road behind one another (they live in Roodepoort area) when TENNIS BALL SIZED hail hit them… they had nowhere to go and both vehicles are solidly farked, moertoe!
This weather is not funny anymore…
See the Boswell Winkie circus as sponsor on the kit as well, neatly camouflaged cause they look like clowns
Think I’ll call the Bulls the “Bushveld Bulls”, when they play in that strip!
Went and bought myself one of these yesterday afternoon………….this morning I can’t find the farking thing……..
‘Buffalo soldier’sure to be hit in Hatfield and surrounds come 2014.
@ grootblousmile: even n babelaas!!
@ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:

Will we see even less of Spies at ruck & maul time now that he will be dressed in cammo?
Will HM still see Spies’s massive forearms and powerful thighs while he is in cammo?
Will he see him falling off tackles?
75 & 76 @ Loosehead:
Will the Spies jokes EVER become funny?
gbs @ 77
pierre spies jokes are ALWAYS funny, lol
78 @ Ashley:
O, OK.. werklik?
Seker omtrent so snaaks soos grappe oor Kaapse Moffies… of oor die Cheetahs, Stormers of Sharks wat nog nooit iets reggekry het in Super Rugby nie.
Ek sien hier ontaard dinge na ‘n meer negatiewe kant toe. My stand punt is as volg. Die blou camo trui lyk goed en pas by die Bulle. Die groen een lyk k@k maak nie saak hoe mens daarna kyk nie. Ek dink PUMA het die pot bietjie mis gesit met daai een.
Laas jaar was dit pink en hierdie jaar groen camo. Ek verkies wel die groen camo bo die pink. Maar dit maak nogsteeds nie sin nie. CAMO in rugby en kan net nie my kop om dit kry nie.
nee, dis baie snaakser, don’t be hating now
81 @ Gena_ZA:
Dis darem regtig heelwat snaakser hoe nydigheid en jaloesie altyd teen ‘n suksesvolle en innoverende span soos die Bulls gemik word….
Maar nouja, Pierre Spies dra 3 Super Rugby goue medaljes en Bryan Habana moes sy medaljes by die Bulls verdien kry voor hy Stormers toe is…. dis die realiteit.
Is dit so belangrik vir die jaloerses om te alle koste ‘n steek in te kry en werklik ENIGIETS te doen om die Bulls of ‘n spesifieke speler soos Spies te probeer afkraak? Het die afguns julle so bitter gemaak?
…. Shame man, dis effe pateties….
@ grootblousmile: en effe faktap..
Innovation is the name of the game ladies and gents. The fact that the Bulls have pushed the boundaries of what is considered traditional just shows that we are hardly the eg Afrikaanse stiff upper besnorde lip, brannewyn drinking boepens squad we are always made out to be.
Bulls in pink, Bulls in camo, who gives a shit!! Keeping up with the times and the suurgatte haul out Chirps 101. Pathetic. I say good on you BBRU.
Ek dink anyways daai hemp gaan moerse lekker jag. Can’t wait for Hunting season 2014!!
83, 84 & 85 @ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:
Hello tjom,
Ag wat laat die klomp flokkers maar begaan…
As hulle eie Franchises en Unies te banggat / dom / verbeeldingloos is om te eksperimenteer en innoveer, is dit maar seker hulle lot… en verdien hulle dom en suurgat supporters ook.
Kyk, die mens se natuur is om teen verandering te skop, so ja, met eerste oorgopslag was die CAMO effe vreemd… maar ek dink dit gaan populêr wees… sal nou nie self sommer net persoonlik uitgaan en die trui koop nie, maar dalk as ek saam met die span gaan toer sal ek beide die Blou trui en die Camo truitjie maar aanskaf.
@ grootblousmile:
It was bad. Both my office and home seemed to have missed the worst of the hail this side. Where did were your friend driving yesterday?
BTW the blue kit ain’t so bad, still not sure about the green camo.
Brace yourself for a lot abuse if your team does not perform next year. I have been on the receiving end for many years, even in the good Lions years.
87 @ Lion4ever:
I’m not sure exactly where the Tennis Ball hail caught our 2 friends on the road… just know they live in Florida North…
Anyway, what does one do when hail hits you while you are in your car on the road… there’s nothing really one can do.
Not worried for abuse of my team in Super Rugby, not at all… because the wheel turns and it will be their turn again soon enough thereafter.
I think the Bulls are going to have a difficult year in 2014, considering who all left for overseas…but then again I said the same prior to the 2013 season and the Bulls easily took the SA Conference and ended 2nd on the overall Log.
Hope the MTN Lions do well, they deserve a bit of a good comeback after a year in the Wilderness!

@ KWAGGA ROBERTSE:
Kom nou ouens. Gaan lees bietjie mooi al die comments. Niemand het werklik die Bulle aangeval nie. Daar was bietjie ‘n mokkery oor Spies maar niks werklik oor die Bulle nie. Party mense gaan die truie like en ander nie. Niemand het werklik die Unie self aangeval nie.
Stem wel saam dat die Spies grappe nie werklik funny was nie. Maar al die comments van 75 af was ongelooflik doeloos. So kan ons nou die gesprek as afgehandel beskou.
@ grootblousmile:
Ja, the lady that works for us had to fetch her hubby at Lanseria last night, and the rain had already started when she left, an they suffered some hail damage on the car. His plane had to be diverted back to Durban. And when they got home their roof was damaged and they then had a whole host of water damage inside. Needles to say she had to take the day off.
I am worried about your boys this season. Too many players have left at once, and not too much experience left. At least the Lions will be an unknown quantity and may catch a few teams by surprise.
