The national kits of Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria, Namibia, Senegal, Togo, Gabon and Burkina Faso are being exhibited alongside South Africa's, which was designed by South African brothers Hasan and Husain Essop.
Bafana Bafana will wear the kit when they play against the Ivory Coast in the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Saturday, 12 November, including a rainbow graphic inspired by the 'Rainbow Nation'.
Safa President Kirsten Nematandani says: "When Archbishop Desmond Tutu coined the phrase the Rainbow Nation he captured the unique character of our country, and how our different peoples would work together to make our country great.
"It is appropriate that the new rainbow kit design has been launched in the year of the Archbishop's 80th birthday. We believe we have a kit and a team which can unite our fans behind the Bafana Bafana cause."
National team coach Pitso Mosimane says: "The new team kit is technically advanced, looks great and tells the unique and wonderful story of our country. The players will wear it with pride."
