While newly crowned champions Simba Bhora etched their name in Zimbabwean football history, becoming the first team from the small town of Shamva to clinch the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title, there’s an unsung hero behind their success, On The Ball (OTB) Looks.
The sports apparel brand dressed the champions with eye catching kits and travel gears.
Looks played a crucial role in Simba Bhora’s journey to winning their historic championship, in just two seasons after their top flight league promotion.
Commenting on their kit deal with OTB Looks, Simba Bhora Secretary General Taurai Janhi said: “We have been working together since our Division One days. Looks are professional, their kits are top-notch, and their pricing is reasonable, especially for local clubs.”
Simba Bhora skipper Walter Musona who is strongly linked with a move to new PSL boys Scottland, also praised the sportswear company.
Musona told Nehanda Radio: “I was impressed with the kits. It’s a great feeling to win a historic championship while wearing such a quality brand.”
OTB Sports director, Peter Chiveso expressed his delight for their partnership with Simba Bhora.
He highlighted their excitement to sponsor the club, especially as it prepares to participate in the CAF Champions League in 2025.
“I am delighted to share with you the remarkable success story of the kit sponsorship deal between Simba Bhora FC and OTB Looks,” he said.
“This partnership, which was signed in 2021, has been a resounding triumph, with OTB Looks proudly dressing Simba Bhora throughout their journey.”
“In the first year, Simba Bhora achieved a remarkable promotion from Division 1 to the Premier Soccer League (PSL), all while wearing the OTB Looks brand.
“The pinnacle of success came in the third year when Simba Bhora won the PSL championship, once again donning the OTB Looks kit,” added Chiveso.
“As we look to the future, I am thrilled to announce that the partnership is set to continue, with Simba Bhora proudly wearing OTB Looks as they embark on the 2025 PSL season and their inaugural CAF Champions League campaign.
“This is a massive step forward for both brands, and we eagerly anticipate even more success on the horizon.
