Côte d'Ivoire Home Shirt 2024

This is a very nice make of the Côte d'Ivoire top.  It has a nice balance about it and I am not surprised why it has been voted as the best in the football kit archive site.  It just does it simple and nice.  The orange with the green trim is just immense and badass.

The nice patterns on the material.

The cool embroidered crest, no worries about it falling off in the washes.

The cuff with the green just does it an give it what it needs.

The back looks great.  I liked the sash across the lower back.  Overall, great take.

Now this would have been a fantastic shirt had it been just a bit smaller since it is actually very loose fit although you see pictures of the tight ACTV version modelled by the players.

It's quite standard crew collar.

Great badge as usual.

Nice details on the sleeves and shoulders.  The patterns are a great touch of character.  Great take on the elephants.

Clean back.  Overall nice material tool, this was a nice shirt.  It's just too loose for me even a small size feels really big.

Just one badass shirt.  Really cool.  No need to say more.

Crest is a bit rough though.

Great looking.

This was another afcon world Cup 10 template shirt made for the elephants.  The colours!!  Fab.

Nice badge, back then the embroidery rather rough and problems with warp and shrinking after wash as you can see.

These shirts had a very good sleeve shape.  

We love the elephant.  I really liked this template where they gave each nation it's character in the patch on the shoulder.  One of the problems with this template was that there was an inner diagonal seam that sews it together with the more mess panel that runs across the shoulders.  That inner seam can wear off and then starts causing a bit of discomfort to wear.  Basically, the seam could have been better made.

Noticed the USP Puma transfer on the bottom left has not been done cleanly on this sample.  May had been just one faulty one from the factory.  It's obviously out of position.  Also I noticed the right sleeve is slightly bigger than the left sleeve.  This perhaps should have failed QC.

Overall, the shirt is nice and perhaps if the v neck on the front could have also had a touch of green, it would have looked even better.  These shirts were also of a very decent athletic fit.  Looks good to wear.
