Kaizer Chiefs marketing and commercial director Jessica Motaung says the club expects an even “better response” to Amakhosi’s new home and away kits than last year.

Motaung was reacting as Chiefs launched the kits on Monday morning.

“The process of designing and selecting the kits for the team during our first two seasons with Kappa has been wonderfully creative, and the response from supporters has emphatically confirmed that. We expect an even better response this year,” says Motaung.

The home jersey is bright and unapologetically Kaizer Chiefs—with a primarily gold body, in keeping with the hue of the Glamour Boys’ traditional colours, adorned with striking black patterns on the sleeves. This classic design also includes a stylish black collar with contemporary designs that reflect the culture of Amakhosi.

“The away jersey always allows us to play around a bit, and we are proud of the camouflage-like design that represents the shields and the garments worn by Africans during traditional events. It’s a symbol of fashion, art, and creativity that will be worn by hardcore football fans as well as general fashion enthusiasts.”

Chiefs and Kappa believe the designs are rooted in African art and creativity and are the heartbeat of the community. “The jerseys will be worn with pride by all generations of Kaizer Chiefs supporters for different occasions.”

The merchandise will be available for purchase from Kaizer Chiefs Retail at the Village in Naturena, Kappa retail stores around the country, online at www.kcdigistore.com, and other leading sporting retailers from Monday, 21 July, for a price of R1, 299.

The Glamour Boys will be seen in the home and away kits this coming Saturday, 26 July, when the team takes on Asante Kotoko of Ghana in the first official friendly match, dubbed the Toyota Cup, hosted at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
