Kaizer Chiefs unveil bold African-inspired 2025/26 jerseys

Kaizer Chiefs have officially unveiled their striking new home and away jerseys for the upcoming 2025/26 DStv Premiership season. Designed in collaboration with Italian sportswear brand Kappa, the new jersey features bold African-inspired prints, ushering in a fresh era of pride, tradition, and cultural flair for the Amakhosi faithful.

The launch took place on Sunday, 21 July, and has already stirred massive fan excitement and online chatter, not just among Chiefs supporters but also from rival clubs.

African Heritage Takes Center Stage

The newly released home jersey features the club’s iconic gold and black colors, reimagined with a vibrant pattern symbolizing unity and strength rooted in African tradition. The away strip introduces a cooler tone, predominantly white, complemented by the same traditional motifs, paying homage to the continent’s rich design culture.

Speaking at the kit unveiling, Marketing Director Jessica Motaung emphasized the importance of culture and identity in this season’s kit:

“This is more than just a jersey. It represents who we are, our heritage, and our pride as Amakhosi.”

This marks another chapter in the rekindled partnership between Kaizer Chiefs and Kappa, who reunited in 2023. Kappa’s commitment to blending innovation with African design aesthetics is clearly on display, making these jerseys both stylish and symbolic.

“We wanted something that would not only make players feel empowered but also resonate deeply with fans,” said a Kappa spokesperson. “The result is a bold, contemporary look that’s unmistakably African.”
