If you’re thinking of getting your hands on the Afcon alternative kit, you may have to do a lot of searching. According to the LeCoq Sportif site, the alternative jersey is all but sold out.
However, you’ll still be able to purchase a few of Bafana’s 2023/2024 kits.
Last year, the brand unveiled three new looks – a yellow home jersey, a green away jersey, and a retro white, black, and gold striped alternative kit.
