JERSEY LAUNCH: The Cheetahs have launched a striking new jersey for the upcoming EPCR Challenge Cup season.

Cheetahs Director of Rugby Frans Steyn played a pivotal role in the creative process, working closely with the Cheetah's marketing team.

Renowned in Europe for their distinctive orange and white striped jerseys, the Cheetahs will continue this classic look as their primary kit, paired with black shorts and red socks.

The team will debut a predominantly white and orange striped jersey as an alternative kit, offering a fresh take on their traditional colours. 

This year's jersey design is inspired by the team's glorious past, including iconic moments like the 1997 Currie Cup Final against Western Province at Newlands.

"From the moment we started conceptualising this design, we wanted to capture what makes the Cheetahs unique," said Tiaan Joubert, Business Unit Manager.

"This jersey represents not only the past glory but the bright future of this young, dynamic group of players. It symbolises pride for every fan, from Bloemfontein to the far reaches of Europe."
