Orlando Pirates and adidas unveil 2025/26 kit: A tribute to the fans
Orlando Pirates and global sportswear icon adidas have revealed the official home and away kits for the 2025/26 season—a striking blend of heritage, cutting-edge design, and the indomitable Buccaneers spirit.
But this launch is more than just a jersey drop. It’s a salute to the club’s loyal faithful, anchored in the symbolic ritual of “throwing the bones”—a powerful gesture of unity, pride and tribal allegiance that runs deep through the culture of Pirates fans.
More than a greeting, throwing the bones has become a rallying cry. With the jersey as armour, supporters are invited to stand tall, honour their warriors, and embrace their shared identity every time their team takes the pitch.

The home jersey continues the club’s celebrated legacy with its signature black base, enhanced by bold white and red detailing. From Soweto to stadiums across Africa, it remains a timeless icon of the skull-and-crossbones ethos.
Meanwhile, the away jersey breaks new ground with a bold design inspired by the pulse of Johannesburg. A flowing pattern of black and white abstractly echoes the city’s flag, creating a kinetic visual that mirrors the rhythm of the city—and of the Pirates themselves.
The 2025/26 Orlando Pirates home and away kits are now available at adidas.co.za, Orlando Pirates retail stores, and selected adidas partners.
