Kaizer Chiefs and Nike have unveiled the new home jersey for the 2016/17 Absa Premiership season.
Full statement:
In keeping with what has become tradition at this time of the year, Kaizer Chiefs and Nike will signal the start of the new season with the launch of a new iconic jersey.
Kaizer Chiefs’ new Nike home kit with Dri-FIT technology pairs top Nike innovation with a design that honours the 15-year partnership between the club and global sports brand, and celebrates the extension of their contract.
The gold kit features a solid black stripe which runs down the sides of the jersey and shorts, with a half black stripe completing the back of the v-neck collar. The socks are gold with a distinctive black linear pattern on the calf.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing Director, Jessica Motaung believes the new kit is a perfect way to usher in a new era for Amakhosi and is confident it will prove to be a hit with the multitude of fans.
“Following the changes at the club, we believe our new jersey represents the new generation and journey that we are embarking on as Kaizer Chiefs,” she says.
While this new kit serves to inspire the new generation of Kaizer Chiefs, it has also been created to give players the very latest Nike innovations in fabric construction, performance technology, moisture management and environmental sustainability.
Chiefs will wear the jersey for the first time when they take on Orlando Pirates in the Carling Black Label Cup on Saturday, 30 July.
