Niger Uhlsport shirt

From https://global-jerseys.com/ this is an interesting site specialising in some rare shirts.  And I took a look at this Niger shirt.

While most of these shirts are kind of like a manufacturer's template and then fused with the crest.  At least this one the template is not totally bland.  ie, adidas Condivo or nike vapour.

This is why I want this shirt.  Just for the crest.  This one is in the material so will never come off.  It shows this is a very legit sourced from Uhlsports. 

Ditto these tags.

The material itself is OK.  But creases easily after a wash.

Flag at the back.

This is just one for the collection. It is a shame they don't stock a smaller size for me as it is very loose.  But a quick alteration in the local tailor to make it one size smaller, that will do the job

 

Botswana Umbro shirt

This is another one from https://global-jerseys.com/ they are quite a site for these cool African teams.

This is a quite a design by Umbro on Botswana.  Its design like a zebra.

Now here is one thing, that I noticed, you can see this sample the inside is white while on many stock photos and even on CFS, it is blue.  Does this mean this is from another line?  Also shirt has no inner labels of any kind.  Does not say where its made in.

This shirt is very big even for a Medium and it is somewhat like the Benin Umbro shirt.  The material is rather similar.

The crest is transferred onto the material rather than part of it.

It looks like the real thing if it is not the real thing.  

 Overall, it is a very distinctive looking shirt and another one for the collection.  

Guinea Macron shirt

Another https://global-jerseys.com/  While this shirt has appeared in Footy Headlines and been slagged of as boring as hell.  I thought I will take a look at it as see how they glued the crest on to a stock shirt.   

This is well transferred onto the shirt.  I wonder how long and many washes it can last.

This is transferred on and I really wonder how long it will last.  Its kind of like a quick attempt to give the template shirt some design.

The template itself is not totally bland, it has a skirting at the side.  The material is also quite good with pinstripes vertically.

The sleeve is actually tapered. and I can feel it would be a slim fit like shirt in a smaller size.

Plain and a bit boring but one for the collection nevertheless.  I am sure the next one when Macron have more time, it will be a lot better.  I hope this will be available more easily as I always been keen to get a good Guinea shirt.  The flag colours are wicked.

Nigeria Nike shirt

Is this a classic.  I really don't know except I am lost for words when I see the patterns.  

Naija way to go.  And I really like the crest's new shades of colour with the green with black. 

Wow, just look at that sleeve's Mish mash zig zags. 

Naija yeah. And look at the v clip at the back of the collar.  May be a small touch to detect the pirates?  

You see the back is pretty is well. 

This is just so awesome to look at.  I am stumped for superlatives.  Nike have really made a name for Naija designs

 

Benin Umbro shirt

This is quite cool and always like an African country's shirt.   

The whole shirt has no embroidery and all are in printed into the material. 

Including the cuffs.  All same layer.. And that is something not seen from Umbro before.  This did come from a so called team wear label bag. 

In printed into the material. 

The label is the only bit that is transferred onto the material. 

The nice colours. 

The material is OK, very standard feel for Umbro not the best I have seen from them.  But it's a cool rare release. 

 

Burkina Faso Kappa Goal Keeper shirt

Ultra skin tight kombat by Kappa.  This is a ridiculously tight goal keeper shirt of Burkina Faso. 

And it is really tight.  I can't imagine any player not having to wear a XXL for this as even a M/L from CFS is skin tight for me. 

The crest is glued onto the shirt and I like it. The stallions. 

This is a new form of embroidery.  It's almost like using some threads to make the logo, really nice. 

Skin tight seams and cuffs. 

The classic Kappa logo.  It's actually smaller than what I had expected. 

This is a very tight but interesting shirt.  The material is very nice.  It's very soft stretchy.  The colours are vivid to say the least but it's difficult to wear due to its tightness. Perhaps even I needed to wear a Large size.
