Sudan played with two different kits
From Legea to Solo Sport to the two adidas jerseys, the African national team got a bit confused
January 12th, 2022
Strange things are happening in group D of the African Cup of Nations, in addition to the unexpected triumph of Nigeria against Momo Salah's Egypt, yesterday during the other match, Sudan came on the field with two different shirts. At the end of the first half, in fact, the Nile crocodiles, this is one of their nicknames, have changed jersey presenting themselves first with the adidas template "Tiro 13" and in the second half with "Tiro 17 teamwear".
It is difficult to understand which is the real sponsor of the national team, Sudan in fact during the qualifications played with red monochrome kits provided by Legea, while before the official start of the African Cup of Nations the national team seemed to have made official its agreement with the brand "Solo Sport". An agreement, however, that seems to have failed, in fact yesterday the national team took the field with kits quite dated signed adidas. According to FootyHeadlines, Solo Sport did not even pay the designer who made the shirts, Ash's Custom Graphics. This could be one of the reasons why the national team took to the pitch with their third different supplier kit in a few months.
An unusual and chaotic situation, just like yesterday's match, which ended in a draw but was not full of emotions. Guinea-Bissau missed a penalty right at the end of the 90 minutes, leaving the first place in the standings to Nigeria, a serious candidate to win the 2022 African Cup of Nations.
