South Africa, 30 July 2026 – adidas and Orlando Pirates Football Club have officially unveiled the club’s 2026/27 Home and Away jerseys, accompanied by a powerful campaign film celebrating Johannesburg – the City of Gold that has shaped generations of players, supporters, and the enduring spirit of the Buccaneers.
As Orlando Pirates begins the countdown to its landmark 90th anniversary in 2027, the new jerseys serve as both a tribute to the club’s rich history and a symbol of the exciting future ahead. The campaign celebrates legacy, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between Orlando Pirates and the city that has defined its identity for nearly nine decades.
A Tribute to Johannesburg’s Golden Legacy
At the heart of both the Home and Away jerseys are the iconic Orlando Pirates crests, elevated with striking gold detailing—a powerful tribute to Johannesburg, famously known as the City of Gold.
The golden accents woven throughout the design honour the city’s people, culture, relentless hustle, and the generations of supporters who have helped shape Orlando Pirates into one of South Africa’s most celebrated football clubs.
“Every Orlando Pirates jersey tells a story, and this season’s jersey celebrates a partnership that continues to grow stronger with every chapter,” said Tom Brown, Senior Director: Brand at adidas South Africa.
“We’ve created a jersey that honours the club’s rich history while looking ahead to an exciting future as we approach the 90th anniversary in 2027. The golden thread woven throughout this season’s design represents far more than an aesthetic element; it symbolises Johannesburg, the club’s enduring legacy, and the generations of players and supporters forever connected through these colours. We’re proud to continue this journey alongside Orlando Pirates and celebrate one of football’s most iconic clubs.”
