ADIDAS AND ORLANDO PIRATES KIT PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE FANS WHO HAVE THE CLUB IN THEIR BONES

Orlando Pirates and leading global sportswear brand adidas, present the official Home and Away jersey for the 25/26 season – a dynamic fusion of tradition, innovation and the unbreakable spirit of the Buccaneers.

The new launch is more than a jersey reveal. It’s a rallying call to the Pirates faithful, uniting supporters under the culture-rich symbolic salute of “throwing the bones” – rooted in the spirit of solidarity, passion and allegiance to this historic club.

More than a greeting, this gesture has become a call to arms for the Buccaneers family, an invitation for fans to stand in unity, honour the players, and celebrate their collective identity at every match. With the jersey as armour, this salute is a war-cry.

Continuing the club’s storied legacy, the Home jersey retains its iconic black base, elevated with classic white and striking red accents. Worn with pride from Soweto to stadiums across the continent, the new Home jersey serves as a timeless symbol of what it means to wear the skull and crossbones.

Breaking new ground, the Away jersey introduces a bold, contemporary concept inspired by the relentless energy of Johannesburg. The design abstractly reimagines the city’s iconic flag through a flowing pattern of black and white, creating a dynamic visual that pulses with life. In motion, the jersey becomes an emblem of Johannesburg’s heartbeat and rhythm – a perfect representation of Pirates’ forward-moving spirit.
