Orlando Pirates’ orange kit awakens Twitter trolls
Soccer fans were soon to react to the new Orlando Pirates jersey, which has a striking resemblance to Polokwane City's colours.
POLOKWANE – Orlando Pirates revealed their kit for the upcoming DStv Premiership season this morning and Twitter users quickly drew similarities to Rise and Shine’s colours.
“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 jerseys. The away kit in particular is sure to get fans talking, with its striking orange colourway. It’s the first time in the club’s history this colour is being used, and it’s seen as an expression of confidence and vibrance that reflects the team’s spirit,” a story on Pirates’ website reads.
Polokwane City finished bottom of the log in the 2019/2020 Premier Soccer League season, while Pirates finished third.
Here is how Twitter reacted:
