AmaZulu Football
Club and adidas today unveiled the
new home and away shirts for the 2011/12 football season.
Inspiration & Design
According to Kevin Jooste, the
Football Category Manager at adidas SA, the home shirt takes inspiration from
AmaZulu’s heritage. “We decided with the club to incorporate some forrest green
into the jersey, creating a link with the heritage of the club,” he says.
In addition, there is an
embossing of the AmaZulu logo on the back of the jersey to add value to the
jersey. For the away kit the club has stuck to the traditional white with
twilight green stripes.
“We are grateful to adidas for
the world class kit that they have produced for the club. We would like to urge
our fans to go out and buy the new
jersey
Technology
Both jerseys feature 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,
focussing 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.
Retail
The new home and away kits will
be available in retail stores from tomorrow 16th July at a recommended retail
price of R449.
The following
