Orlando Pirates stepped out in their blue third jersey on Tuesday, 28 Oct, and defeated Magesi FC to advance to the Carling Knockout semifinals.
The new Orlando Pirates third kit stands out in Blue Dawn, detailed with black and light pink highlights.
The third kit boldly blurs the boundaries between sport and style, club and culture, while taking its cue from the iconic Orlando Towers, a towering tribute to Soweto’s pride, unity, and artistic legacy.
The design features vibrant brushstroke patterns that flow across the jersey to form the bones of the legendary skull and crossbones, a symbol synonymous with Orlando Pirates’ spirit of pride, resilience, and defiance.
The blue dawn colour highlighted by the light orchid echoes the vibrancy, diversity, and beauty of kasi living, and the dynamic energy that unites players, fans, and the township streets.
The kit’s interlock base fabric ensures performance comfort on the pitch, while the crew-neck collar and shell cuffs with subtle tipping details deliver a premium lifestyle aesthetic off it.
Look out for the Orlando Pirates Third Jersey to be released on Friday, 14 November 2025, in limited quantities at adidas stores, select retailers, and online at www.orlandopiratesfc.com and adidas.co.za.
