Pirates Unveil New Adidas Kits After Historic Title Triumph

Orlando Pirates on Monday unveiled their new home and away kits for next season in partnership with Adidas.

Fresh from winning the Betway Premiership title on Saturday, Pirates wasted no time in revealing their new strips for the upcoming campaign.

The Buccaneers ended a 14-year wait for the league crown, with their last triumph in South Africa’s top flight coming during the 2011/12 season.

Pirates also completed a domestic treble after winning the MTN8 and the Carling Knockout earlier in the season.

By winning the league, Pirates have also secured a return to the CAF Champions League, where they will begin in the preliminary stages in September.

“While spread far beyond Johannesburg, Orlando Pirates supporters remain united by a shared identity — one that is now symbolised in the club’s iconic crest, a mark of pride, excellence and belonging,” Adidas said in a statement.

“Inspired by granite — a symbol of strength, endurance and unwavering resilience — the home jersey reflects the very foundation of Orlando Pirates, born from the heart of a community defined by passion, unity and defiance. Just like the club itself, granite stands the test of time, shaped but never broken.

“This unbreakable spirit is reflected through the institution’s unmatched legacy and rich heritage, woven across generations through its founding fathers, footballing icons, passionate supporters and unforgettable moments that have defined Orlando Pirates as one of Africa’s most iconic football institutions.

“The away jersey, featuring the iconic adidas Trefoil, celebrates the soul of the city. It is a tribute to the energy, diversity and heartbeat of its supporters, whose stories, creativity and passion continue to shape the identity of the club.

“The design captures the homes of the people, the pulse of the streets, the culture of football fandom and the deep connection between Orlando Pirates Football Club and the community it represents.”
