Mickey Modisane on Orlando Pirates going "back to black"... and on to the CAF Champions League Group stages

Orlando Pirates PRO Mickey Modisane is never less than a ball of energy on air. With his club about to resume CAF Champions League action AND unveil their new “back to black” shirts he was nearly unplayable!

Modisane revealed the ENTIRE Buccaneers squad will be at Loftus to watch the Bulls play rugby on Saturday and appealed to the entire football-speaking nation: “Let us get together behind South Africa’s flag carriers.”

Speaking on the third episode of my new football show BOLLOCKZ! on Ballz radio, Micky said: “We kick off the Champions League group stages against AC Leopards from the Congo at Orlando on July 20 and the players will be in our new shirts, that is what’s going to be happening. And by then we want our fans to have our new jerseys in the stadium.

“We want to get people who are prominent. The likes of yourself on the social networks can help us. We want you to wear this shirt so people can talk about “back to black”. We want the fans to buy the shirts – and to attend the game in Soweto.

“We are going back to the original colours of Orlando Pirates football club. And I can tell you this new shirt is out of this world. “On the 16th of July I have a date with you, Neal. To give you our new shirt. I look forward to that!

“We will be playing a game in Lesotho on July 14 in honour of the King’s Birthday. By the time we play Leopards at 8pm on the 20th – tickets are already on CompuTicket – we will be ready. WE WANT ANOTHER STAR! 

“Some players have left us, but we have put all that behind us. We are ready. The coach is ready.

“When we played against TP Mazembe, South Africans came out but not in the numbers we expected. We saw how they came out in the DR Congo. We need to give AC Leopards the feeling they are on Orlando turf.

“South Africans must rally behind our sportsmen. Not necessarily Pirates fans. We are flying the flag. In the spirit of our nation. All this is happening in the Mandela month.

“My birthday is on July 21 too so Neal, remember to send me a well wish!

“We want to spread the love of the Madiba feeling at that time. You know what, the entire Orlando Pirates squad will be going to Loftus, watching a Bulls rugby match against the Sharks.

“We align ourselves with the best brands in South African sport. We say to white fans: Rally behind us. We’ll be there for the Bulls on Saturday… watch us, listen to us.

“Tickets for the AC Leopards game? Hospitality sells at R1,000 but we have the R40 general tickets to from Computicket and Shoprite.”
