Barcelona's new away jersey took Kaizer Chiefs by surprise - Jessica Motaung

Kaizer Chiefs were very surprised and disappointed when they saw Barcelona's new away jersey for the 2020-21 season, according to marketing director Jessica Motaung.

The Barca shirt is similar to the black and gold design Amakhosi used for their 50th-anniversary celebrations, and Motaung said she has already had discussions with Nike about the decision.

According to Motaung, the design was inspired from within the club, recalling how Kaizer Motaung used to wear a similar black jersey with gold numbers at the back.
