  We construct the first examples of deformed non-abelian black strings in a
5-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills model. Assuming all fields to be independent
of the extra coordinate, we construct deformed black strings, which in the
4-dimensional picture correspond to axially symmetric non-abelian black holes
in gravity-dilaton theory. These solutions thus have deformed S^2 x R horizon
topology. We study fundamental properties of the black strings and find that
for all choices of the gravitational coupling two branches of solutions exist.
The limiting behaviour of the second branch of solutions however depends
strongly on the choice of the gravitational coupling.
