The brand and club signed their sponsorship deal back in November 2022, with the release of their first kit coming in the 2023/24 season.
The Soweto giants and the Italian sportswear manufacturer penned a five-year contract, and Joseph has now revealed that shirt sales are on an upward trajectory compared to previous seasons.
Speaking at the kit launch, via Pro Sports76, Joseph said: "We've presold more jerseys this third season more than both the previous seasons.
"It's an indication of the excitement from fans. Winning the Nedbank Cup has given fans more belief and more reason to buy.
"As we all know, everyone wants to buy winners' jersey. In fact we had to place additional top-up orders for later this year."
Online reviews of the new kits have been widely positive, and the Soweto giants will don the new kit for the first time this weekend when they play in the 2025 Toyota Cup against Ghanaian heavyweights Asante Kotoko.
