The club took to social media to share photos of some of the players in the kit, and it is as many suspected. Photos of the kit were leaked recently, causing much debate among fans.

While some voiced their displeasure with it, others believed it was just a rumour and held out for the side to unveil their official kit.

With the club confirming that it is the new kit, fans have once again shared their thoughts on the jersey.

Here’s how the Sea Robbers’ supporters reacted to the news:

@LANGAWS:

"The shirt will distract an enemy, three cups in the bag!"

@Chumza1978

"If they won't be scaring people, they'll be glowing in the dark. Hayi, yi Halloween."

@NongaloMsweli2

"So these people sat in the boardroom and approved this thing? Ay shame."

@AndileNgidi7

"It’s bold. It’s customised for Pirates, which I really like. @adidas actually respected my team for a change and didn’t give us a generic kit."

@MacDuffOliphant

"You can already see what their season will be like. There is no confidence in the kit, they won’t be confident in wearing it. They don’t look like they can win."

@PovertykillerB

"X-ray and Lemon Twist."

@DumisaniBhengu2:

“For the 1st time in many years, I’m afraid to say it’s disappointing, to say the least.”

@kxnglefa

“We are the worst-dressed team in the PSL, surely.”

@CHendricks20

“That new Orlando Pirates home kit is…..not very good.”

@silas_timoteus_

“Orlando Pirates’ new kit is so ugly. Yoh. Whoever redesigned it should be fired.”
