Ajax, Pirates To Face Charges Over Kit

Orlando Pirates, Ajax Cape Town and Witbank Spurs will appear in front of the PSL DC next week to face charges to do with their playing kit.

Orlando Pirates will appear in front of the PSL DC next week to face two charges, one being a failure to produce an alternative kit against Bidvest Wits at the weekend.

The second charge is for failing to change their outfit when the referee asked them to.

Pirates were requested to change their shorts and socks from black to another colour, because the home team,  Wits, were wearing navy shorts and socks.

Both requests are part of rule 12.2 and 12.3 of the PSL kit manual.

Ajax Cape Town are also being changed by the PSL DC, for failing to put a sponsor logo on the right side of their jersey.

In their match against SuperSport United on November 18, Brent Carelse wore a jersey that did not have a sponsor [Absa] logo on the right-arm sleeve, contravening rule 9.1 of the kit manual.

hird, Witbank Spurs failed to produce a team jersey at the pre-match meeting ahead of their match against Chippa United on November 18, contravening section 4.2 of the kit manual. This is classed as ‘misconduct’ in the compliance manual.
