Kevin Jooste, the Football Category Manager at Adidas South Africa.said that they received a brief from Orlando Pirates to develop an anniversary jersey that celebrated the rich history of the club as well the bright and exciting future, he also added that the design inspiration came from the the strip used by the 1973 all conquering team that won all cups that were on offer during that season.
Adidas developed a special anniversary logo using the the round logo which dates back to the 50's and was used until the late 60's as inspiration.
For the inner logo, Adidas used the original logo as an inspiration with 1937 accompanying it. As the result of close interaction between Adidas and the club, respecting history and celebrating the future, we have created a jersey that all Buccaneers can be proud off.

“With the Club turning 75th years next year,
the Telkom Knockout Cup Final has presented a perfect platform for Orlando
Pirates Football Club to mark the beginning of the celebrations, which will be
carried throughout 2012” says Mickey Modisane, the Public Relations Officer at
Orlando Pirates.
The new jersey
features Climacool Technology- a combination of performance fabrics, open mesh
and ventilation channels which keep cool air flowing in and heat and sweat
flowing out. Climacool works by considering how and where the body produces
heat and sweat and focuses on specific fabric and garment features in those
zones. The effect is that athletes stay dry, comfortable and perform at their
peak in even the most heated competitions.
The jersey will
retail at a recommended retail price of R 599 and will be available in retail
shops from Monday the 05th of December.
