It is green-white-and-blue season and going into Sierra Leoene’s last group game I have only one regret—I have exhausted my green, white, and blue flag colour T-Shirts and jerseys. The worst part is that I had ample time and opportunity and access to have gotten enough Salone branded T-Shirts but I had no idea that not having a green white and blue fit while watching Sierra Leone play in 2021 AFCON would feel so lame. It is game day and I’m in a frenzy. I might have to really dig under my old T-shirt pile and pray that there is some jersey there that I overlooked. 

Also, I am not ashamed to say that I was at some point mentally teasing the T-Shirt Entrepreneurs. I saw so many different jerseys and I wondered how they would fare given the saturation of jerseys and Tees in the lead up to AFCON. I was a bloody fool. Of course, everyone needs a minimum of three jerseys for this group stage and then a fourth one for when we make it to the final. I mean how could have been so slow—must have been that time EDSA took the light and I bumped my head.

First up is you’re in Salone you’re in luck. In addition to being about to get the official Leone Star jersey from SL Commercial Bank you’re also in the right place to get your SalonePlug Jersey. Co-founded by Mario, SalonePlug is an urban and athletic brand made popular by fine boys and Freetown babes. Contact them on their instagram below. They have stock in Freetown and in the US and UK.

2. Royal Dynamite

On the West Coast (American west), we have Royal Dynamite, a veteran lifestyle brand co-founded by Cecil and Ralph. They’ve put out a jersey in collaboration with Leone Star frontman Kei Kamara’s NGO. The white seen here on Kei is sold-out on their website but the blue is still in stock.

3. United Africa Wears

If you’re over in the UK or Europe then you wanna check out Afize Stylish’s United Africa Wears for green, white and blue inspired jerseys and t-shirts. There are two variations one with lines seen below and the other with the lion head seen here on Ngor Julius Maada Bio.

4. Prince Zamira

For those of you who know me you know, I love Alhaji’s DMV-based comfort meets luxury brand Prince Zamira. To mark the return to AFCON they released a mini collection of green white and blues. The PZ Tees come in three different styles:  “One Goal” “One Nation” “One People”. Available from www.PrinceZamira.com.
