Kaizer Chiefs have dropped their Kappa home and away kits for 2026/27.
Amakhosi are in the fourth year of their partnership with Italian sportswear brand Kappa and have dropped their new home and away kits.
“The home jersey is a statement of beauty, sophistication and class, featuring the Club’s iconic gold base embellished with subtle geometric patterns inspired by Zulu culture, symbolising a shield, overlayed with black pins-stripes and a sleek black collar. It is designed to be worn not only at football matches but is also a must-have lifestyle essential in every supporter’s wardrobe,” the club stated.
“The away jersey, which represents the Amakhosi pride, is bold black with gold and grey zigzag trimmings, forming a striking V-shape across the chest – similar to a lion’s mane. Updated with a modern twist, the design pays homage to the memorable 1989 and 1992/93 seasons, evoking nostalgia among loyal supporters of the Glamour Boys.”
Jessica Motaung, Kaizer Chiefs’ Marketing Director, said: “Like we have done over the past three seasons, we have worked hard to come up with glamorous and stylish designs that manifest the spirit of our mantra for the season, The Kingdom Rises, intended to make our players and supporters stand out and be noticed, whether at the stadium or elsewhere. The away jersey roars with pride and is one very strong jersey. We thank Kappa again for their partnership and look forward to another season of success on and off the field.”
Ricky Joseph of Kappa South Africa added: “It is an honour to have South Africa’s biggest Club, Kaizer Chiefs, wearing the Kappa kit so proudly. What is even more rewarding is seeing the jersey everywhere you go in South Africa, and across the continent during CAF competitions – from Angola to Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Egypt. We look forward to another successful season with Amakhosi. As we get into our fourth year, we truly believe that supporters and players will enjoy wearing these new kits. I once again congratulate our design team in Italy for maintaining such a high level of creativity. I believe that this season’s Kaizer Chiefs designs are our best yet, perfectly combining trendiness, history and culture all in one.”
