Top 3 PUMA Jerseys At AFCON
The Africa Cup of Nations is just one day away, with hosts Côte d'Ivoire kicking-off the tournament against Guinea-Bissau on Saturday afternoon.
PUMA has designed some bold and beautiful jerseys for Ivory Coast, defending champions Senegal, Ghana, Egypt and Morocco, using an inventive design template and distinct patterns for each kit that represent the aforementioned nations.
Ghana's red Away, Senegal's white Away and Ivory Coast's orange Home kits will be the three kits to look out for...
3. Ghana
The Black Stars will be hoping for a much improved AFCON campaign in 2024 after the horrors of 2022 when they crashed out in the group stages.
The Ghanaians will look to be in sizzling form when they take on Cape Verde Islands on Sunday and with being listed as the home team for the fixture, fans will have to wait to see their unreal red Away kit.
The predominately red kit sees a dark tonal stripe on the front and yellow square in the middle that showcases that black star and the Ghana FA crest.
The PUMA logo stands out above the yellow square, going against the grain when it comes to the placement of logos and badges on football jerseys:

2. Senegal
Senegal's Away white kit will be recognised by many who saw it at 2022 FIFA World Cup, where Senegal wore it against the Netherlands and their final group match against Ecuador, winning it 2-1 to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
The Lions of Teranga's kit stands out for PUMA's usage of their national colours of green, red and yellow. The predominately white kit features a V-shaped pattern, that's mainly in yellow and bordered with green and red.
The PUMA logo and Senegal FA crest is shown in regular positions, with a green star in the middle. The Senegalese colours are also depicted on the cuffs and the V-neck collar:
1. Ivory Coast
The Elephants will be in their custom orange kit for most of their AFCON 2024 matches, which is a treat for us bright kit lovers.
What makes the Ivorian kit so neat is that it has a retro feel for it. From the white V-neck to the two white stripes on the cuffs and the tonal stripes, it's one of the best PUMA designs we've seen for the Ivorians since 2006.
The jersey can be paired with either white or orange shorts, depending on the colours of the opponent, with the socks being plain orange to match the top.
