The bulle are trying to pass off the jersey below as being purple. To me it looks decidedly pink and comes as no surprise! The bulle fans will no doubt love it and the sharkies will be very envious. Hargreaves will be aggrieved that his pink bonnet is being outshone!

Bwahahahahahahaha - be assured gentelmen that the men from WP will not be going pink!!!

The Bulls’ new away jersey was unveiled on Valentine’s Day – and you’ll either love it or hate it.

According to the press release from Puma, the striking colour marks a significant image shift for the Bulls and is inspired by the purple Jacaranda trees that characterise their hometown Pretoria.

The away shirt, as with the blue home shirt launched in December 2011, has a dramatic ‘smash’ design inspired by the phrase ‘bull in a china shop’ and expresses the Bulls’ powerful playing style. The complexity of the design, which combines a chevron-like effect, is designed to distract opposition players.

Bulls captain Pierre Spies said: ‘Puma has certainly changed the pace since their arrival at the Bulls and the team feels that our away jersey, a complete contrast from our traditional kit, is a great way to celebrate a new partnership.’

Inspiration for Pink Bulls jersey design?

So the Bulls are breaking away from tradition and what worked so well for them in the past, and is making an extravagant change to their away strip.

 

 

Now I know there will be fans that won't be happy seeing their team run out in pink, and I can't blame them, I won't be happy either. But as long as the team wins, does it matter what they are wearing? Right? Still, even as a non-Bull supporter I would hate to see them lift a trophy in that strip...although Meisiekind will feel right at home in it. (Bwahahaha they will be over the moon!!!)

 

I wondered why they came up with this lightning and pink design and google provided me with the answer.

 

 

Recognise this Bull? Doesn't it look so much like the jersey? 

 

This is the Bull at the NYSE crocheted by NYC street artist Crocheted Olek and it seems like this was done in 2010 already...

 

Olek writes: "It was truly a year of guerrilla actions that opened a new path in my crocheted investigations. I started it with a bike and ended up with the Charging Bull as a Christmas gift to NYC and a tribute to the sculptor of the bull, Arturo di Modica, who in another guerrilla act, placed the bull on Wall Street in Christmas of 1987 as a symbol of the 'strength and power of the American people' following the 1987 Stock Market crash."

I won't say its gay or anything, but it certainly could be aimed to bring out the softer side from their supporters...

 

 

And it will certainly make Pretoria a bit more colourful with not only Blue hanging from the back of their cars...

 

 

But I feel the most sorry for Bulletjie....

 

 

Just to top it off, Wynand Olivier can now have his favorite drink, and fit in with the rest.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA will the bulle ever live this one down!!!!!!

The bulle are the exceptions that prove the rule. BL please note I said I expected the bulle to have a warm reception from thetwits downunder!!!

Bwahahahahhahahaha

Actually on pondering the issue - I wonder why the bulle are only wearing the pink jersey down under but NOT at home. Perhaps its because their fans here wont like it but the twits down under will - for obvious reasons.

Surely this is the most logical reason?
