Nike Springboks Heritage Long Sleeve Rugby Polo
This Springboks Heritage long sleeve polo is made for the supporter attached to the history of South African rugby who wants a timeless piece to display their loyalty every day. Unlike technical match jerseys, this polo relies on pure cotton and a heritage design inspired by the first home jerseys: classic long-sleeve cut, dominant Gorge Green colourway enhanced with University Gold accents faithful to the emblematic colours of South Africa. Worn at the stadium on match days or in the city, it combines comfort and pride of belonging without frills.
Nike presents here a Heritage collection that celebrates the prestige and tradition of the Springboks. The 100% natural cotton fabric favours comfort and breathability throughout the day, while the cut ensures optimal freedom of movement. The deep green Gorge Green and the golden University Gold details recall the historic visual identity of the South African national team, making this polo a mark of belonging as much as a supporter's garment.

Can it be worn all year round?

Technical specifications
Care tipsMachine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle. Do not use bleach. Dry flat or hang — avoid the tumble dryer to preserve the dimensions and softness of the cotton. Iron at medium temperature if necessary. Do not dry clean. DesignNike opts here for 100% cotton to favour natural comfort and breathability over a full day, unlike the synthetic fibres of match jerseys. The classic jersey knit ensures a soft texture against the skin and total freedom of movement. The long sleeves offer light thermal protection ideal for autumn or winter matches in the stands, while the round neck keeps things simple to pull on and remains timeless. The University Gold accents contrast with the deep Gorge Green, faithfully replicating the historic visual identity of the Springboks: a colour code born in the 1900s that became a symbol of South African rugby excellence. ClubThe Springboks embody more than a century of world rugby history. As the South African national team, they have always worn the green and gold jersey, which has become the emblem of an entire country. The nickname Springboks comes from the springbok antelope, South Africa's national animal featured on the official badge since 1906. This Heritage collection celebrates this iconic legacy and the unwavering attachment of supporters to the roots of springbok rugby. BrandNike has supplied the Springboks since 2023, succeeding Asics. The American brand combines technical innovation on match jerseys with heritage restraint on lifestyle collections such as this Heritage range, designed for the supporter who wants to display their rugby identity every day without compromising on comfort. |
