The South African Football Association and Adidas have unveiled the new Bafana Bafana and Banyana Banyana kit for 2026/27.
The German sports manufacture has taken over from LeCoq Sportive and finally unveiled the much-anticipated new home strips, which draws inspiration from the 2010 jersey.
“Today, adidas in collaboration with the South African Football Association (SAFA) proudly reveal the new 2026/2027 home jersey for both Bafana Bafana and Banyana Banyana – a bold evolution of an iconic design that captures the spirit of South African football,” read the official press release.
“Drawing inspiration from the unforgettable 2010 jersey – a symbol of pride during a defining moment for South African football – the new design honours that legacy while stepping confidently into a new era.
“The 2026/2027 home jersey retains the unmistakable yellow base with green trim, a colour palette synonymous with national pride. Elevated detailing and refined construction modernise the silhouette, delivering a performance-driven jersey built for the demands of today’s global game.
“Most notably, the updated design pays tribute to South Africa’s 12 official languages – a powerful reflection of the nation’s diversity, unity, and shared love for football. The subtle graphic elements woven into the fabric symbolise the many voices that rise together in stadiums across the country and around the world.”
Tom Brown, Senior Marketing Director for adidas South Africa notes, “The iconic adidas SAFA jersey of the 2010 World Cup had a distinctive reference to the diverse national languages of South Africa, represented by 11 small lines in the collar. This design is re-imaged for a proud new era, with a design pattern which proudly reflects the now 12 national languages on the national jersey.”
