South Africa PSL Giants Kaizer Chiefs have unveiled their new and fresh looking kits for the 2019/2019 season just a week after unveiling their new head coach Giovanni Solinas.

Kaizer Chiefs who won the Maize cup over the weekend beating Buya Msuthu will play with their new kits against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Shell Helix Cup over the weekend.

The new jerseys feature Nike’s DRI-FIT technology, which assists with ventilation, while Nike’s ground-breaking polyester is a lightweight fabric.

“Our long-standing partnership with Nike has produced many distinctive kit designs that have become part of our history, and this year is no different,” Chiefs marketing director Jessica Motaung said.

“Just as it is with every jersey, the stylish, fashionable design is augmented by advancements in the fabric technology to give the garment a more comfortable feel and enable players to perform better on the pitch”she added.

The gold jersey has bold diagonal black stripes across the front, which the club says is “representing traditional spears rising together to create a sense of motion and unity on the field”.

The away kit is a bold purple, which is “paying homage to African royalty – strong and unbreakable, like the new team”, with black shorts and purple socks.

The range of Chiefs kit also includes a training jersey and tracksuit, as well as a female jersey.
