IT WAS all glitz and glamour as Kaizer Chiefs unveiled their kits for the 2023/24 season on Tuesday night.
Amakhosi hosted an exclusive event at The Galleria in Sandton, with some of the club’s heroes from the past invited alongside current players and media personnel.
Following their separation from Nike after a 22-year partnership, The Glamour Boys recently reunited with apparel powerhouse Kappa in what had been dream pairing dating back to the 1980s.
The club’s Marketing Director Jessica Motaung expressed her excitement at revealing the Chief’s next fit in coordination with Kappa.

Ricky Joseph, Director and Head of Kappa South Africa also revealed the sportswear brand’s reconnecting with the ‘Cup Kings’ of South Africa following a nearly three-decade separation.
“After almost 30 years of being apart from each other, we are once again truly delighted to be associated with Kaizer Chiefs; an iconic football club with a legendary status in Africa,’ he said.
He further added: “The launch of these distinctive jerseys marks an exciting new chapter for Kaizer Chiefs and Kappa.
