Le Coq Sportif reveals new Bafana Bafana kit

A ‘stunning’ new Bafana Bafana home and away kit has been revealed by the new South African Football Association (Safa) technical sponsor, Le Coq Sportif.

Manufactured locally using the best high strength polyester fabric, the jersey, which the manufacturers have described as a ‘stunning new look’ for Bafana Bafana, is said to offer excellent fit, resistance to abrasion and is durable, lightweight, and breathable.

The fabric is said to have been treated to further enhance the wicking and yarns’ hydrophilic properties, allowing the players to remain cool and comfortable. The print is borrowed from Africa’s most prized possession, the diamond, and flanking alongside this, is the shield representing South Africa’s heritage and pride.

“We are delighted to have entered into a long-term partnership with Safa as the new technical sponsor for the national teams. We have made no exception with regards to the quality and standard of the new kit as we take pride in the men and women who represent our country on the field,” said Roger Noades, sales director at Le Coq Sportif, during the unveiling of the kit to soccer writers.

For the Bafana fans countrywide, Noades said the jersey was available for pre-order on www.lecoqsportif.co.za as of 5 October and can be purchased at any Le Coq Sportif store across the country from 8 October.

The company has signed a five-year deal with Safa and is expected to launch the Banyana Banyana kit early next year.
