Gambia shirts once were close to impossible to get. They had terrible templates for decades, of various suppliers. Weirldy, among them was Saller, a small German company that mostly sells teamwear and sponsors a few, mostly lower league, clubs in the country. At least that is what I though, knowing mostly their contracts with Paderborn and Jahn Regensburg. In fact, however, Saller does sponsor quite a few clubs internationally: Neman Grodno in Belarus, Békéscsaba 1912 Elöre in the second Hungarian divison, Horoya AC in Guinea or Bloc 16 Academy in a non-leage division in Senegal. A really weird mix of teams - and a single national team: Gambia. Saller has supplied Gambia from 2005 to 2011 and then ever since 2019, making them by far the country's most used brand for reasons I will never understand (and failed to figure out).

These shirts are the home and away shirts Saller sent down to Gambia in 2019, when they won the contract with the GFA again. They are largely uninspired and are just from the teamwear line that Saller offered at the time. But, they were sold for as little as 30€ in Germany, making them very accessible for me, which is why I just had to get them.
