“For the home jersey -we took inspiration from previous Orlando Pirates jerseys –particularly the very first jersey donned by the club in 1937 –which featured a white collar. More importantly, we had a lot of close interaction with the club to make sure that we produce a world class product for a world class club,” says Kevin Jooste, the Football Category Manager at adidas South Africa.
The jersey features climacool technology- a combination of performance fabrics, open mesh and ventilation channels which keep cool air flowing in and heat and sweat flowing out.
Climacool works by considering how and where the body produces heat and sweat, and focus’s specific fabric and garment features in those zones. The effect is that athletes stay dry, comfortable and perform at their peak in even the most heated competitions.
The jersey will be available in retail shops from Friday, 06th of August, 2010.
