10 Reasons Why we Love the African Cup of Nations (CAN)

Reason 3 - Great Team Kit

As in previous African Cup of Nations tournaments, German sports giant Puma is the kit supplier to the bulk of many of the top African nations and many of the top teams (Ivory Coast, Senegal, Ghana) will sport the kit featuring the "big cat" at the tournament.

What makes the African teams kits great is the replication of the nations flag (which in many cases is red, yellow & green). A colour combination that simply shouldn't work together in a shirt, shorts, socks combo but actually does. Our pick of the crop for this years CAN is the Mali away shirt made by the French company Airness.

A particular mention goes to Libya, who play in a major event after the downfall of the Gaddafi dictatorship. Their new Adidas made kit rejects the old national team and old regime colour of green and now features the countries new national flag in the federation logo.
