With the away kit resembling the World Cup-winning Springboks shirt, some fans were sceptical about the rugby look, while others believe the club would win trophies again in the new kit.

Others complained the kit was leaked online before the launch, so Chiefs should not have wasted time with such a big launch.

Here's how social media reacted to the club’s new jerseys:

“This is the best kit in the division; Kappa pulled off all the stops. Jessica is a marketing guru.”

@king_mhlaba tweeted:

“There was no need for my FC to launch these jerseys as these jerseys have been known by the public already. The home kit is ugly. The away kit would be more beautiful if they didn't use cheap fabric.”

@Cr07Kaito added:

“10/10. We are competing with AmaZulu and Cape Town City here for the best jersey of the season. Definitely.”
