This 1995 Springboks Long Sleeve Rugby Jersey by Cotton Traders is arguably the most iconic rugby jersey ever made. Worn during the most unforgettable Rugby World Cup in history, this is the same style immortalised by Nelson Mandela when he presented the Webb Ellis Cup to Francois Pienaar — a moment that transcended sport and became a symbol of unity for South Africa.

Produced during the original manufacturing run, this version is the Made in China edition, as jerseys from this era were produced in multiple locations around the world. The jersey is in truly exceptional condition — easily the best example we’ve ever had — showing virtually no signs of wear despite its age. Tagged Medium, it fits comfortably up to a Large.

Demand for these 1995 Springboks jerseys is immense, and they rarely appear in such pristine condition. A once-in-a-lifetime collector’s piece representing the most iconic moment in rugby history.
