Sierra Leone 5

vs. DR Congo (0:2) | AFCON | 2014 in South Africa

In 2014, the small Australian company AMS briefly took over equipping Sierra Leone. I will not rant against the company too much here, again, as I have done that on a number of other posts already. In short: The owner of AMS is producing fake shirts in large numbers.

However, that backstory makes this shirt a bit special. I paid 100€ for it, buying it from a befriended collector in Germany. He, in turn, got it straight from the AMS owner many moons ago - and it was sold to him as a matchworn shirt. And it might be. But it might as well be another lie of Luke W, the AMS owner who is so big in the counterfeit market. My trust in him, at least, is not great.

Still, I am pleased to have this shirt at all. It is arguably the most boring of the Sierra Leone shirts I have - but it still is a Sierra Leone shirt and none of them are really boring.
