“adidas
is proud to be associated with one of the oldest clubs in South African
football and we have worked hard to produce a jersey that celebrates the club’s
rich heritage,” says Zobuzwe Ngobese, the Public Relations Manager at adidas
South Africa.
The
new 2012/2013 kits feature the green home jersey and the royal blue away jersey
–the strip that the club was using when it was formed in 1932.
Inspiration &
Design
According
to GP Sangiorgo , the Football Category Manager at adidas SA, adidas worked
with the club to produce a special 80th anniversary logo to celebrate 80 years.
“We
are grateful to adidas for the world class kit that they have produced for the
club in the year when we are celebrating our 80th anniversary. We would like to
urge our fans to go out and buy the new jersey and wear it with pride when
attending our matches,” says Lunga Sokhela, the Marketing Manager at AmaZulu
Football Club.
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 fromtomorrow (12th
July 2012) at a recommended retail price of R449 at the adidas own retail
stores and leading sports retailers.
Players
from the AmaZulu first team will be signing autographs for the fans at the
Workshop Shopping Mall on Friday the 13th of July from 2pm until 4pm.
