The green away jersey is a celebration of Banyana’s success in Morocco where they were crowned Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) champions in 2022.
On Thursday, the company released the alternate legacy jersey to coincide with Freedom Day celebrations.
Late last year, Le Coq Sportif asked members of the public to submit designs after they were criticised for the design of the Bafana jersey and the design by Lwazi Ngcungama won the competition.
