Massive thanks to the Zambian FA for these three incredible shirts! At some point in 2021, I wrote a snail mail letter to the Zambian FA, asking them, if they have any old and potentially used shirts in storage that they could part with for my collection - of course offering to pay for it. They did quickly get in touch to tell me that they don't have any old shirts, but would love to send me their current shirts as a gift. That is really incredily nice of them and so I was more than happy to receive all the current shirts from them weeks later.

The shirts are done by CoPa, which is a company linked to the FA itself, as far as I am aware. It is a brilliant bespoke design for the copper bullets, which I really like, personally. Well done, CoPa!

These are also shirts that I do actually wear quite a lot, as they just fit well, are a great design - and I do have a special place in my heart for Zambia. Having been to Livingstone and seen the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls, but also spending time with a local football club in the quite tough Maramba township, I have great memories of the country. From all the places I have been to, Zambia definitely ranks far up there when it comes to hospitality.
