Taking a step into uncharted football style, adidas football have released a bespoke Orlando Pirates stadium jersey with lifestyle feels written all over.
Drenched in diagonal detail, this release from adidas and Orlando Pirates is an inspired reworking of retro. With the solid EQT stripes making a welcome return, the shirt brings the stadium to the street on a whole new level. By linking up with a club like Orlando Pirates, adidas have chosen a team in their stable with rock and roll undertones and with skull and cross bones in tow, this is a tearaway for a new generation of football based lifestyle apparel.
Getting into the 2017/18 season, this shirt was designed to accompany the on pitch shirt that Orlando Pirates will wear from next season. Removing the sponsor and replacing it with a bold, embroidered finish, the badge has also been reworked into a more stripped back, vintage version. Minimalist though with plenty going on, it's a considered way of bringing a whole new level of lifestyle to a game that thrives on new ideas.
Gone are the days of tired merchandise, we've entered a new realm now and it's threaded with supreme and collectable class. Orlando Pirates pairing up with adidas to pioneer - this will turn heads, all day long. Sundowners in Soweto.
