South African Split Shorts

The south african split shorts from Odyssey Apparel break the flag layout into a diagonal split-panel treatment, full-colour sublimated shorts for a more structured, modern design.

South african split shorts: fabric and construction

Manufactured from 100% moisture management polyester fabric, breathable and lightweight for South African conditions. The dye sublimation print bonds permanently into the fabric, so the design stays sharp and colourfast wash after wash.

Full edge-to-edge coverage means the design holds its detail through repeated wear and washing without fading or cracking.

Sizing

Available in sizes from Kiddies through to Adult 9XL, so the whole family can wear the same design.

A different structure for national pride

Rather than a flat colour block, this design splits the national colours across a diagonal panel layout, giving it a more contemporary, considered feel than the traditional arrangement.

It suits supporters who want national pride that looks like a genuine design choice rather than a stock layout.

Care instructions

Wash on a cool machine cycle and hang or drip dry rather than tumble drying on high heat to keep the print looking sharp through every season. The dye sublimation process bonds the colour into the fibres rather than sitting on top of them, so it resists cracking and fading far better than a screen-printed alternative.

When to wear it

Summer match days, braais, and any occasion where a cleaner, more structured design suits the moment. Fit runs true to size across the range.

Pair with the matching shirt, hoodie, or leggings from the same design range for a coordinated look across every season.

Delivery nationwide runs through trusted courier partners including DSV, so wherever you are in South Africa, these shorts get to you in genuinely good time.

Need matching shorts for your group or club? Custom bulk orders are available through our Custom Designs page, with a straightforward turnaround and consistent quality across every size in the order. Every order is checked for consistent colour and stitching before it leaves our Brits facility.

The diagonal layout also photographs distinctively in group shots, standing out from the standard flat-flag layout that dominates most supporter apparel.

Custom colourways and matching sizes across the whole family are always available on request, with the same straightforward turnaround as the rest of the catalogue.

Fit runs true to size across the whole range, comfortable enough for a full, active day at the braai or the stadium.

It also makes a genuinely good gift for a supporter who already owns the standard flag shorts and wants something with a more considered design behind it. Running a supporters club that wants matching gear for a summer tournament? We handle bulk orders with a straightforward turnaround.

Every order is checked for consistent colour and stitching before it leaves our Brits facility, whether it is a single piece or a full group order.

These shorts pair especially well with the matching Split hoodie or shirt from the same range, giving supporters a coordinated head-to-toe look for a full tournament weekend.
