Since the Springbok win at the Rugby World Cup, the green and gold jersey has been on everyone's shoulders. But there is another symbol that has emerged, that some fans proudly wear while the parade team in the country: a bathing suit in the colors of the South African flag!

This is an image that the country is not about to forget: in the locker room, just after the victory, the scrum half Faf Klerk went to shake the hand of Prince Harry ... wearing a simple slip bath. A rather patriotic accoutrement, since the motif takes the South African flag.

It is actually a small company based in the south of the country, near Port Elizabeth, which markets what is now known as "Faf's jersey". If she found herself in the limelight, it's because her boss, Kurt Schmelzer, went to school with Siya Kolisi. Before the World Cup, the captain of the Springboks ordered some of his swim briefs, but Kurt was far from suspecting that his product would become the star of social networks.

Taken aback by the wave of enthusiasm, the company created last year is now out of stock. She promises to resupply by Christmas and intends to sell a thousand of these under 20 euros, a figure higher than it usually achieves over a year.
