AmaZulu new jersey
Fitting with the 80 year old milestone Usuthu have announced a series of exciting events as well as a special new kit and logo for the upcoming 2012/13 season at a press conference held at Suncoast Casino in Durban.
At the
media briefing AmaZulu General Manager, Peter O’Connor confirmed the club
directors have set their site on improving on last season’s position with
special mention of garnering for the top 4 league position, and winning one cup
competition.
Also in
the cards in the next coming weeks as a part of the 80th
celebrations is a visit to his Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini at the Enyokeni
Royal Palace, a special gala dinner, and a possible friendly match against
Asante Kotoko of Ghana in September.
Technical
sponsors Adidas have taken it back to where it all began as the newly unveiled home
kit kept its traditional green look with white trimmings while the away kit is
a more striking royal blue with green sleeves.
“What
we’ve tried to do is design a jersey which tells a story about where the club
has come from and where it is now,” explained the club’s Marketing Manager,
Lunga Sokhela.
“The
royal blue represents the original colours that the club donned in 1932 when it
was presented to King Solomon kaDinizulu. Later when the club was renamed from
Zulu Royals to AmaZulu Football Club, the colours changed from royal blue to
bottle green which is what we have on the sleeves.”
Both
jerseys spot a special 80th anniversary logo which AmaZulu will use
for the duration of the first round (December 2012). Next week new coach Roger
Palmgren will officially announce his pre-season plans and unveil his new
signings for the upcoming season.
