SoccerClub scans Twitter for reactions to Orlando Pirates’ unveiling of their new adidas home-and-away kit for the 2020-21 season.
With both jerseys receiving a bold and modern update, one of the big changes this season is that the club’s traditional badge has been replaced with the skull-and-crossbones emblem on both the home and away jerseys.
The away kit has a striking orange colourway – the first time in the club’s history this colour is used – and it’s seen as an expression of confidence and vibrance that reflects the team’s spirit.
The new kit stays true to Pirates’ iconic black-and-white colours, with the home jersey in all black, with white stripes on the shoulder and a white v-neck, while the bold orange of the away jersey is finished off with the classic three black adidas stripes on the shoulders.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news:
Apparently Polokwane City were not relegated last season, they came back in the incarnation of Orlando Pirates. 😂😂😂
