AFCON replacement kit in high demand
Bafana Bafana are known for wearing their trademark yellow and green kit. However, Afcon's replacement kit is actually a white and silver jersey designed by Le Coq Sportif.
The surprising departure from traditional colors is clearly well received by consumers, judging by the comments on social media.
“This white kit is awful,” one fan tweeted, while another added: “Bafana are playing like Real Madrid in this new kit.”

If you are looking to get an Afcon replacement kit, you may have to do a lot of searching. According to Le Coq Sportif's website, replacement jerseys are almost sold out.
However, some of Bafana's 2023/2024 kits are still available for purchase.
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.

Bafana Bafana Friday?
Meanwhile, South Africans are issuing a nationwide appeal to supporters to wear the Bafana Bafana jersey (along with alternative kit) on Friday.
As was done during the Rugby World Cup, members of the public are also encouraged to wear yellow and green to support their national team.
