Kaizer Chiefs have officially launched their new 2025/26 home and away kits in collaboration with Italian technical sponsor Kappa, marking the third year of their partnership.
Drawing inspiration from African culture and creativity, the kits are more than just football attire — they are symbols of identity and heritage.
The home jersey stays true to tradition, featuring a dominant gold colour, paired with black sleeve patterns and a sleek black collar. It pays homage to the club’s rich history and is described as “unapologetically Kaizer Chiefs.”
In contrast, the away kit pushes the creative envelope. A stylish blend of grey and gold with camouflage patterns, it takes cues from the textures of animal hides used in traditional African shields, signalling Amakhosi’s readiness for the battles ahead.
Chiefs’ Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung, emphasised the cultural and emotional significance behind the new designs.
“We returned to our roots with the home jersey, staying true to the colours we are known for,” she said. “The away jersey always allows us to play around a bit … it’s a symbol of fashion, art and creativity.”
The kits were crafted with supporters in mind, combining comfort and visual appeal.
Motaung also confirmed that pricing remains unchanged from last season, ensuring accessibility for fans amid challenging economic conditions.
Kappa South Africa director Ricky Joseph expressed his excitement about the new range.
“The theme for this season is ‘The jersey doesn’t just play, it represents’ – and that’s exactly what these kits do,” he said.
The full range — including tracksuits, polo shirts, t-shirts, bags and caps — will be available at Kaizer Chiefs Retail, Kappa stores nationwide, online, and selected retailers from 21 July.
Chiefs will debut the new kits on Saturday against Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko in the Toyota Cup at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
