Thomas Mlambo is often seen wearing the jerseys of the biggest clubs in South Africa
A few days ago , Thomas Mlambo a well-known South African sports presenter, posted himself wearing the jerseys of South Africa’s three biggest clubs on his official Facebook page:
On his post on the 4th of September 2025, he posted himself wearing the Orlando Pirates jersey. Designed to be bolder and more modern. It has a light grey base adorned with a complex pattern of geometric lines, with black side panels and red accents. The design is meant to reflect the vibrancy of the team’s supporters and the “city energy” of Johannesburg.
On the following day around 10am, posted photos of himself wearing Kaizer Chiefs home and away jersey.
- Home Jersey: This kit features the traditional gold and black colors. It has a full gold body with striking black “tiger stripes” on the sleeves. The design is described as “African-inspired” and “a bold celebration of the game beyond the pitch,” rooted in traditional art and warrior culture.
- Away Jersey: A modern, “stealthy” charcoal grey base with gold accents. The jersey incorporates a subtle geometric or camouflage-like pattern and is designed to be fashionable while also symbolizing the team’s “battle-readiness
And then on the 8th he posted wearing the Mamelodi Sundowns home and away jersey with a tag ”Danko Dawana for the fresh threads, Ba ba ratang Mamelodi Sundowns FC , ga ba emise matsogo As’hlanganeni on your world of champions for the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League & Confederation Cup”
- Home Jersey: A classic Pelé Yellow and Fast Green design with a new and unique kaleidoscopic pattern. Puma describes the jersey as capturing the “rhythm, energy, and joy of Sundowns football.” The “Art of Play” theme is meant to reflect the team’s unique and creative style on the pitch.
- Away Jersey: A more modern, fresh design. It is a light color with a striking graphic print. Some fans have described this jersey as being simple, but it is meant to provide a clean and stylish look for the team on the road.
