Puma Makes the World’s First Continental Football Kit

January 11, 2010


Samplings of actual African soil were used to create the brown tones on the new Puma ombré Africa Unity soccer jerseys, a technique far fancier than any grassroots tie-dying we dabbled with in our backyard last summer. The gradient blue-through-brown color on these snugly-fitting (can we say bodycon?) shirts, is a representation of the sun, sky and soil of African footie, which is perfect timing since the African Nations Cup kicked off yesterday in Angola, despite pre-tournament tragedy for the Togolese national team. Let's hope the spirit of the design translates to the tournament, and beyond to South Africa's hosting of World Cup 2010 in a few months.
