Picked up my first ever Amakhosi shirt in 1992, at a 5 a-side tournament in Sheffield ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ A stunning Kappa design used over a few seasons, and one that would alter slightly on a regular basis!

Clean, simple design. Nothing out of the ordinary, but still a very nice shirt.

Incredible shirt, and way before it's time when released. This design also featured in 2012/13 when the Amakhosi were crowned PSL Champions ๐

Long & Short sleeved versions
Decent, but not up to the standards set by Nike over the years. Badges/sponsors were cheaply made, and the material was odd. Looked OK on the pitch though.

Huge fan of this. Chiefs always look good in stripes, which was something Kappa and Reebok both had a go at it, and replicated by Nike. The shirt deserved better than the league position.

Finally managed to grab this last year, and must admit it's way better than I thought when it was originally released. The contrast in colours makes it really stand out.

Still has the tags on, which is odd as I always rip them off within minutes of buying a shirt. Almost certain this design was used as inspiration for the 2021/22 Home shirt.

Reminiscent of the 1990 Kappa shirt, but with a modern look. Overall an excellent design in what was a strange season. Awful in the PSL, but reached the CAF Champions League Final, losing 3-0 to Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

The Reebok shirts were always ridiculously big, proper oversized fit. They weren't as easy on the eye as the Kappa shirts that came before them, but the sublimated badges in the material looked great.

Wild design, but just seemed like a poor take on the 2011/12 shirt. Still can't figure out how they managed to let slip of the league title, having been way in front for most of the season.

A very laid back design, neat and tidy, but nothing to shout about. A black round neck collar would've improved it slightly.

Unusual colours for a Chiefs Away shirt, but a pleasant change, just like the purple Away shirt in 2018/19. I was impressed by both kits in 2020/21.

Excellent shirt, and with a few tweaks could've easily been a home shirt rather than the away.
Not the easiest shirt to photograph as the camera doesn't appreciate the thin lines within the design. Took quite a few attempts!
