Nike and Kaizer Chiefs have unveiled their new 2021/22 season home and away kits, inspired by the Club’s traditional gold and black heritage.
It features a black modern design neckline on the classic KC gold shirt complemented by a black and grey pattern on the side of the jersey. This pattern is duplicated on the away jersey, thereby creating a strong connection between the jerseys.
The home jersey will be worn on-field with both black and gold shorts.
The away jersey is predominantly black and iron grey with accent gold lines mapping out the African continent, connecting us to Africa’s tapestry and solidifying our journey on the continent particularly after the memorable journey in last season’s CAF Champions League competition.
The vibrant away kit is completed with black shorts and black socks with a similar pattern as the jersey.
“With these two kits, we connect with our heritage and look forward to the future. We align our brand and our supporters on the journey to success. This is our roadmap to victory! Let us wear our jerseys with pride inspired to achieve.” says Jessica Motaung, Marketing Director at Kaizer Chiefs.
This year the new jerseys are supported by an environmentally friendly campaign – ’Plastic never felt so good’. Once again, Innovation was key in developing the 2021/22 kit, featuring Nike’s technology which enhances ventilation to increase comfort and speed. The kit is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles – it has been turned into a lightweight fabric that is breathable while still maintaining a strong knit structure. Nike’s Move To Zero is the company’s journey toward a zero carbon and zero waste future.
The new Kaizer Chiefs collection is now available from the Kaizer Chiefs online store at kcdigistore.com and on Nike.com as well as major sporting and fashion retailers nationwide.
