Cape Town is buzzing with excitement as the Stormers gear up for a season that promises transformation on and off the field.
With a new kit, a refreshed identity, and a strong focus on teamwork, players and fans alike are feeling the energy of a club ready to redefine its standards.
Loose forward Evan Roos, who has grown up watching the “Men in Black” dominate the sport, believes this season could be a turning point.
“There’s a real sense of starting something special,” he said. “Everything feels aligned for a fresh chapter.”
Adidas Returns to the Fold
One of the biggest changes this season is Adidas coming back as the Stormers’ kit supplier.
For Roos, this isn’t just about a logo on a jersey—it’s about history, tradition, and pride.
“Being the first group back with Adidas means the world to me,” Roos shared. “It’s part of our history and tradition.”
The new jerseys are made entirely from recycled polyester, combining top-tier performance with a strong statement on sustainability.
Roos sees them as a bridge between the Stormers’ past and the ambitious future they’re building.
Embracing a New Logo, Embracing Change
The Stormers have also unveiled a redesigned logo, marking a clear shift in their culture.
Roos described it as more than just a visual update.
“Change is inevitable. We remember our heritage, but we’ve got to push on. This is a new era,” he said.
The new branding isn’t just for the players—it’s a call to unite the entire fan base.
“It’s not just the team. It’s the whole fan base. Everyone needs to stand together now,” Roos added.
The goal is simple: foster a sense of belonging and rally everyone behind the mission to make Cape Town smile.
Pre-Season Efforts and Team Chemistry
Pre-season has been intense, both physically and mentally. But Roos is confident the effort is already paying off.
New players are embracing the team’s values of respect, commitment, and toughness, which are central to the Stormers’ culture.
“We value good people,” Roos explained. “That’s what makes Dobbo special—being a good teammate comes before everything else here.
The new guys are good people.”
With everyone on the same page—players, coaches, and fans—the Stormers are aiming for their most cohesive campaign in years.
Eyes on Leinster and the Road Ahead
As the season approaches, the squad’s focus is sharp, with an early showdown against defending champions Leinster on the horizon.
Roos admits the challenge is intense, but the team’s determination is stronger than ever.
“It’s tough, hey? We’re training hard. It’s hot, but we’re fired up.
We’re chasing something big this year,” he said.
With renewed kits, a modern logo, and an energized squad, the Stormers are stepping into a season that promises excitement, unity, and a bold new standard in Cape Town rugby.
