Look away, Orlando Pirates fans! Jessica Motaung explains why Kaizer Chiefs' new kit will draw jealousy from rival supporters - 'Amakhosi supporters are guaranteed to draw envious glances from opposition fans'

Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung believes Amakhosi's new kits are so good that opposition fans will be envious.

Motaung praised the new kits that the club officially unveiled on Monday and said their style and outlook will attract envy from fans of rival clubs.

“With the new jerseys, tracksuits, polo shirts, t-shirts, bags and caps, Amakhosi supporters are guaranteed to draw envious glances from opposition fans for their style and panache,” Motaung said as quoted by the club's website.

“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," she added.

“As we say, the jersey doesn’t just play; it represents. We have come up with jerseys that the players will find comfortable to play in while looking resplendent when they take to the field this season."

Motaung revealed what influenced them while designing the new colours.

“It promises to be a great season ahead with the club celebrating our 55th anniversary by winning a major trophy and qualifying for CAF competition, which were some of the goals we had set for ourselves when the year started," she explained.

"With this in mind, we returned to our roots with the home jersey, staying true to the colours we are known for.”

Chiefs have launched their jerseys for the 2025/26 campaign just close to a month after Orlando Pirates did.

The rivalry between the two Soweto giants is not only expressed on the pitch; it transcends to off-pitch issues, and this includes the debate on whose kits are dope.

Amakhosi are expected to don their new colours during the Toyota Cup showdown against Asante Kotoko on July 26.

As a case of identity and support for their team, Chiefs fans are set to scramble for the new kits when they are available in the market in readiness for the new campaign.
