Chiefs and Kappa unveil 2026/27 home and away kits

Posted in Features, News on Jul 09, 2026.

Kaizer Chiefs, in partnership with Kappa, proudly announce the launch of the official 2026/27 home and away jerseys. With three years of collaboration and three sets of kits already behind them, the new designs continue to blend tradition, innovation, and style for players and Amakhosi supporters alike.

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 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.

For the first time, both kits will be available in limited long-sleeve versions, perfect for cold nights and chilly match days. The home jersey will also be released in a tailored women’s cut ensuring a stylish figure-hugging fit, perfect for female fans.

In line with our environmental responsibility, we have requisitioned all players’ and fans’ jerseys alike to be manufactured from recycled materials. The advanced fabric technology which is always a key feature in all jerseys produced by Kappa, results in a high-performance product that helps the athletes to manage sweat and rain during tough climate conditions.

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.”

Jerseys are now available for pre-order online at www.kcdigistore.com, with customisation options for names and numbers.

Other brand-new gear, including the warm-up kit, training kit, travel kit, tracksuits, t-shirts and other accessories, will also be available to supporters as we get into the new season.

Official in-store release begins Friday, 24 July at selected retailers including Totalsports, Studio88, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Mike’s Sport and others, with a recommended retail price of R1399 for the short-sleeve replica and R1599 for the long-sleeve option. The entire season’s range will also be available online at www.kcdigistore.com, the Kaizer Chiefs store at the Village and all Kappa stores.
