Nike, South African FA Unveil National Team's New Kit For '16-17

Nike and the South African FA unveiled the new '16-'17 national team kit ahead of a 2018 World Cup Russia qualifier against Senegal on Nov. 12 at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Nike brings a fresh design and new innovation to the national team kit, such as laser-cut ventilation. The sides of the home kit feature green reveal tape running the length of the shirt and shorts. In the home kit, yellow socks showcase a linear green graphic on the calf. The away kit has the inverse design on the shirt -- all green with yellow reveal tape on the sides of the shirt. The kit’s shirt and shorts are constructed with recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles melted down to produce a fine yarn. Each kit is made using approximately 16 recycled plastic bottles (South African FA).
