A note from the manufacturer
  • One square is about 3.5 cm across, a bit bigger than a postage stamp.
  • Your artwork prints in white only, so bold, simple shapes work best.
  • Thin lines, small lettering, colour and shading will not survive at that size.

Why we're doing this

Football is the people's game.

Not a product, and not a billboard. Big clubs sell the front of their shirt to a corporate sponsor for millions, but our games aren't on TV, so no sponsor sees value in ours. As a community club, that door is closed to us. So we're doing it a different way.

When the shirt reaches our fans, it'll be priced for the people who've earned it: week after week, rain or shine.

Football shirts are incredibly expensive. We're committed to keeping this one affordable, from as little as R50, so anyone can wear it, while supporters who have the means are welcome to pay more.
