When Puma decided to give Ghana a Kente-inspired set of shirts in 2021, I was absolutely loving it. Having been to Ghana myself, I have seen all the colourful and beautiful Kente clothes that people across the country are wearing. The pattern itself often does tell you a bit about the region, the family or the ethnicity of the wearer - a bit like a Scottish kilt does usually stand for some specific clan. Though, today, Kente is very much just a fashionable design that is popular with everyone in Ghana and large parts of West African. For all the right reasons, if you ask me! In fact, I love Kente so much that I got Kente patterns on my own office walls.

So this shirt really spoke to me and this black/white version works even better than the more colourful away shirt. It just looks more fitting for the Black Stars, I guess. So, as you can see, I am a fan of this shirt and did happily pay 70€ for it, as soon as it was released. Well done, Puma!
