The Springbok has been the national emblem for rugby for the last 103 years. Unfortunately it was decided that this is not acceptable anymore and it will change this month.
The Springbok, our pride and passion, will now be moved to the right of the rugby jersey and will not at ALL be on the jacket and tie worn by rugby players. This is not good, bacause our pride and passion should feature on our chest, over our hearts…
Therefor the whole of South Africans rugby supporters decided to show how unhappy they are about this decision and will have a SPRINGBOK day on the 1st of December 2008. Could everyone please wear anything that has the Sprongbok logo on, whether it is ‘n jersey, tie, scarf, hat or even blanket.Â
Wear it to work, school, parliament or where ever you will be. Lets all stand together and let everyone know how passionate we are as a country. A silent protest for the whole world to see..
