Top 3 kits from AFCON last 8
This year’s Africa Cup of Nations has served up some incredible moments on the pitch, highlighted by the many upsets the spectacular goals and the sheer unpredictability of every game.
The players at the tournament have treated fans to over 100 goals and the remaining teams will hope to keep the goalscoring trend going until the final on 11 February.
Besides the goals, football kit lovers have come across some unbelievable designs, with the Quarter-finalist looking as good as they’re playing on the pitch.
Here are the TOP THREE kits from AFCON’s last 8:
3. Nigeria white Away kit:
The Super Eagles have been flying high at this AFCON and progressed to the Quarter-finals after a commanding 2-0 victory over Cameroon.
They take on Angola tonight in the first Quarter-final and will hope to keep performing as well as their Nike kits look. Nigeria’s white Away kit is easily one of the tournament’s finest.
The kit takes inspiration from Afro-futurism, repurposing traditional patterns for a modern audience. The sleeves are covered in classic Nigerian patterns and triangle illustrations that create a trippy look when players are in motion.
The stunning Naija kit sees Nike take further inspiration from Nigeria’s 1994 white Away jersey, worn at the World Cup hosted in the United States.

2. Mali’s white Home kit:
The Malians are basically playing this AFCON at home as they border the Ivory Coast and taken advantage of near home ground advantage.
After topping Group E with a win over Bafana Bafana and consecutive draws with Namibia and Tunisia, the Eagles have stood out for more than just their solidity on the pitch.
They have one of the most eye-catching strips at AFCON this year, boldly designed by French sportswear brand, Airness.
The Airness Mali AFCON Home kit combines a blank white base with a Malian tricolor eagle design in the center, including claw marks in green, yellow and red at the side of the top.
1. Bafana Bafana’s white Third kit
It’s rather rare for teams to get the opportunity to wear more than one kit at a tournament, but lucky for South Africans, all three of Le Coq Sportif’s unreal Bafana kits have been on display at this AFCON.
Bafana Bafana are set to take on the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde on Saturday evening, following a world class display against the more-favoured Morocco.
In that clash, Hugo Broos’ men wore their white Alternate kit, a special-edition Le Coq Sportif strip that was unveiled less than a month before the tournament started.
The jersey has a white base with grey hues embossed throughout and the shorts are plain white, the perfect combo!
Have your say on the top three kits from the remaining teams at AFCON…
