Vintage Springbok Rugbybal

Die eerste Springbok klere is in 1906 ontwerp vir 'n toer na die Noordelike Halfrond toe kaptein, Paul Roos, besluit het dat die span hulle eie embleem en bynaam moet kies om te verhoed dat die Britse pers dit vír hulle kies. Dit is ook die embleem wat op dié bal verskyn. Daarna het die embleem sewe maal verander. Die Protea blom is ook in 1996 vir die eerste maal op die embleem aangebring.

The first Springbok jersey was designed in 1906 for a Northern Hemisphere tour when the captain, Paul Roos, decided that the team should choose their own name and emblem to prevent the British media from choosing it for them. The first historic emblem that was designed is the one featured on this ball. Since then the Springbok emblem has changed seven times. In 1996 the Protea flower was also added to the design.
