PUMA have associations with some of the leading clubs in world sport and to now add the name of Rotherham United to their portfolio speaks volumes about the direction we're heading."

The two stripes on the new Rotherham United PUMA King shirt are inspired by a famous story involving Johan Cruyff, in which during the 1974 World Cup Final, he removed the third stripe from his supplied Netherlands shirt, out of respect and loyalty .to his boot sponsor - PUMA.
