The jersey incorporates 11 threads that symbolises diversity in unity and modern interpretations of traditional South African artwork. It celebrates the pride of the host nation by displaying the centre of the national flag on its front. It has an African art print on the collar to be consistent with the home jersey.

"The new away kit, which features a unique new mixture of Twilight and Forrest Green, will further identify the hosts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Like the current yellow home jersey, this green jersey is without doubt one of the most important and iconic that adidas, as the national team's official technical sponsor has ever designed," says Zobuzwe Ngobese, PR manager at adidas South Africa.
