"Maybe I'll also buy it. It's been 10 years since I last bought a jersey," says Legend CRM083.

"Li-Blind leli Jersey, liyashisa yoh! dankie Kappa (This jersey is sick, it's hot! Thank you Kappa)," says lwazihnzimande.

"Each and every start of the season, you are celebrating the playing kit and that is your only achievement. After 15 games, all this beautiful kit celebration is gone.

"When you see your players walking on the field of play wearing the same kit and you just switch off the TV and go vomit," says bhekilekhuleni6.

"Top level stuff... this can only be found in the beautiful village of Naturena. Trendsetters of South African football. We always lead and the rest follow!!" says NickNacks.
