Are dey trying to copy the Nigerian jessy?

Just go out and make Africa proud unlike some big for nothing. Corruption and nepotism won't allow some big nuts grow

Try qualify your super chickens in the next edition and win the cup.....

JobAndVacancies:
Jersey that won't smell second round.
First three matches this Xeno phobia country would be woefully and shamefully embarrassed

Omo abeg na small small... sorry for us abeg

Angelfrost:
Nice one...!

So, Nigerians go just sit down dey watch smaller African nations participating at the World Cup! Inside heat and darkness for that matter.

Security - Poor
Roads - Still average
Power Supply - Forget it
Sports - Shambles
Employment - Ridiculous
Cost of Living - Galloping daily
Corruption - Never going anywhere

Omo...!

Wetin come dey give una joy for this so called Giant of Africa?!!

Mariangeles:
How come you always surface on threads about South Africa?
What do you have against them?

Have you been living under a rock?

What does abahambe mean?

A simple google search will give you an answer.

This is not the 2010 team with Tshabalala. I haven't seen a goal like that from them in a long time.

Yes, it kinda look similar to ours.

South Africa football team have never been known for that kind of design.

Little wonder they compared it with ours.

ChangetheChange:
This is the best bafana bafana jersey ever
South Africa 96 Nations Cup

So much going on with that design.🥺

Their rugby team, springboks has been wearing that shade of green for years and they're the current champions of the rugby world cup. The SA FA probably decided to design the jersey using the rugby world cup winners as inspiration

Thanks for the honesty - makes sense to use springbok jersey for inspiration than a team you knocked out of the qualifiers.

RandDigital:
The 2026/2027 away jersey makes a powerful statement in iconic green and gold - a colour combination deeply rooted in South African sporting identity.

Designed with a structured collar featuring refined white and gold trim, the away kit blends heritage with sophistication. The collar detailing nods to prestige and progression, symbolising the elevation of South African football across both the men’s and women’s game.

The green base represents resilience and growth, while the white and gold accents signal ambition - a reminder that South Africa continues to shine on football’s biggest stages. Both jerseys have been designed for equal representation of Bafana Bafana and Banyana Banyana - reinforcing adidas and SAFA’s shared commitment to elevating the women’s and men’s game in tandem.

“While we honour the past generation of the 60’s to the 80s who could not represent South Africa, our partner adidas is bringing the design into the future, as an ode to both the elevation of the jersey but equally the evolution of diski (soccer) which is seeing us shine within global tournaments with our distinct culture and colour. We are hoping for even greater performances and success considering this jersey is built using adidas’ latest performance technology which as a former Banyana Banyana player I can attest to” said SAFA CEO Ms Lydia Monyepao.

“This away jersey reflects a timeless elegance, distinctly showcasing the adidas trefoil logo, synonymous with sporting culture and excellence. 2026 is significant as it represents the first year that adidas will introduce this logo to global away federations jerseys across the world during the World Cup. This is in keeping with the sophisticated style direction of these jerseys,” notes Tom Brown, Senior Brand Director for adidas South Africa. “While the styling is distinctly elevated, the elite functionality of the jersey remains unrivalled. The garment is constructed using adidas’ latest performance technology and is engineered for elite competition. Lightweight materials, advanced moisture management, and breathable construction ensure the athlete can perform with confidence under pressure. Every stitch reflects progression. Every detail tells a story.”

The adidas x SAFA 2026/2027 home and away jerseys will be available from 20 March 2026 at selected retailers and online.

Bafana Bafana will be based in Mexico for the the 2026 Men's World Cup.

They deserve to celebrate abeg despite 3 points deduction they sailed through ahead of others in the group.

21st Century marketing by paid influencers, best jersey my ass.

South Africa has been wearing dark green shirts at second kits for years.. its not new

Mariangeles:
I thought so too.

That's more our shade of green.
Everyone knows that in Africa.

Not everything is about you, you know

I will not support Xenophobic people who will chastise a young talent like Ime Okon who is a South African by birth and by ancestry and call for him not to represent his country .

Speak for yourself. I have said my own.

I've never known South African football team to wear green. Especially that shade of green.
Be honest.

Their rugby team, maybe, but not their football team.
It looks too familiar to us.

Just say you dont know and allow me to educate you.. we've been wearing different shades of green for many years.. it literally has nothing to do with us wanting to be you, because I can clearly detect the insinuation. The foremost colour scheme of all South African sporting teams is green and yellow.. eg .netball, hockey, athletics, rugby etc..

us wearing green is not new.. it has nothing to do with you, its a shared color.. turkey wears red, Poland too.. nobody owns colors ..they are shared.. also, green is a dominant colour for many African teams..

Thank you

First you must tell these players to stop representing other countries then we will talk. There's no Sefalosho last name from Switzerland from last I checked.

Thabo Sefalosho-Switzerland

Ryan de Vries – New Zealand

Keanu Baccus-Australia

The days when South African football was played. Now we have just average players from Kaiser chiefs and orlando pirates making noise.
