Bafana Bafana have a new home jersey that was launched by their sponsors Adidas on Wednesday yesterday at the Market Theatre in Newton, Johannesburg.
The jersey, which will be worn by the national team at the 2010 World Cup, is the sixth home jersey since 1997 - Adidas launches home jerseys for Bafana every two years, while the away jerseys are launched every year.
It will be worn for the first time when Bafana play Japan at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
This jersey comes in two varieties, the "Techfit skin-tight" version and the "Formotion," which is made to fit naturally with the body of the player wearing it. It has the latest climacool technology, meaning players don't have to worry about sweating during a game.

The jersey incorporates 11 threads that symbolise the diversity in unity and modern interpretations of traditional South African artwork and also celebrates the pride of the nation by displaying the centre of the national flag in the front.
However the jersey, which has African art print on the collar, is not really different to what we have seen in the past.
Of all the jerseys designed for Bafana, it certainly won't go down as one of the best although the technology will give it the edge if ever it is compared to the previous editions.
