As Mamelodi Sundowns are celebrating their 50th anniversary on Tuesday, it disclosed the club’s newly upgraded logo with their new home and away kits for the 2020/21 Premiership season
Sundowns said in a statement that the “changes to their logo included the ribbon being shortened so that the proportion of the crest could be slightly magnified, the ribbon is bolder, the hands are more defined and the centre circle within the logo surrounding the hand has been removed.”
“Understanding the love and passion that Masandawana have towards their badge, the Club and its supporters decided not to move too far away from their original logo. With that in mind, the Club took a decision in 2019 to give the members of the Mamelodi Sundowns family the opportunity to participate and to be part of the designing of the logo through a unique and innovative competition,” added the club statement.
However, Puma, who is the club sponsor has unveiled the new home and away jerseys for Sundowns, with an inscription of “50 Years” below the redesigned team logo, to mark an important mile stone.
“Puma is honoured to be able to continue to partner and support Mamelodi Sundowns, a club which has always lived the ideals of The Beautiful Game. Every match is a carnival with the players bringing fans to their feet, to applaud moments of artistry and to celebrate yet another exhilarating victory,” said Brett Bellinger, Puma South Africa marketing director.
