adidas
– the leading football brand – has given Ajax Cape Town a new look home and
away kit for the 2011/2012 season.
The
new kit – which the team will use for the first time during the MTN8 Cup match
on Friday evening – was unveiled at a media function at the Cape Town Stadium.
The
home jersey resembles last season’s jersey with the main difference being the
return of the collar.
“The Ajax Cape Town jersey is a continuation
of the proud tradition at Ajax Amsterdam which has seen us produce a unique,
world class home jersey every season without deviating from the traditions of
the club. However, and on the away we went for a younger bolder look, using
tonal striping and Columbia Blue and Dark Navy,” says Zobuzwe Ngobese, the
Public Relations Manager at adidas South Africa.
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, and
focus’s 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.
George
Comitis the Ajax Cape Town CEO said, “We are proud and honoured and to be
associated with adidas. They are a premium sports brand and as a football club
we always strive to be the best therefore the association with adidas enables
Ajax Cape Town to look the part.
The
kit for the new season is immaculate and when we go onto the field, from our
PSL team down to our juniors, the community scheme coaches as well as all our
staff, we will be proud to wear the new adidas kit which is world class”.
