Orlando Pirates Football Club have unveiled their new home and away kits for the 2023/24 campaign.
Pirates also confirmed the official launch of the new kits will be on 27 July after their pre-season camp in Spain.
The home kit is the one with the crossbones design while the away kit appears in a light mint green.
Meanwhile Pirates have responded to calls that they should not play Maccabi Tel Aviv on their preseason tour of Spain in solidarity with the plight of Palestinians, saying the club does “not enjoy such latitude” to take sides on causes and is bound by rules.
The club clarified its links to the struggle for freedom in South Africa and said it has sympathy for the cause of Palestinians in their conflicts and human rights disputes with Israel.
Pirates said the three matches on their tour were organised by a Fifa match agent and since, by the “rule of law” there is no “boycott of any form” against Israel, they are bound to play Thursday’s game against Maccabi.
