This unique 1995 Springboks Rugby World Cup jersey by Cotton Traders represents one of rugby’s most iconic moments, celebrating South Africa’s historic triumph on home soil. Manufactured by Cotton Traders in New Zealand, the jersey features the classic green body with gold collar and the famous Springbok crest, a design forever linked with the Springboks’ unforgettable victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Jerseys produced in New Zealand by Cotton Traders are an interesting variation from the more commonly seen international production runs and add an extra layer of collectability for rugby historians.

In 1997 the jersey was reused and commemoratively embroidered to mark South Africa’s World Cup success, including the Rugby World Cup Champions insignia and Nederburg limited edition detailing. The piece also carries several player signatures on the front which have faded with time, adding character and suggesting its history around the game during the late 1990s. Combining the legacy of the 1995 World Cup with its later commemorative embroidery, this jersey stands as a fascinating piece of Springbok rugby history.
