This Mauritius shirt was obtained from a kit man after the 3-0 friendly defeat to Qatar via another collector. I had never been entirely happy with my Mauritius shirt due to the lack of photos of the Mauritius national team, so was delighted when I had to opportunity to add this rare African shirt to my collection. It wasn’t cheap, so thanks to all those collector who bid on my ebay items in order to raise the necessary funds!DSCF1870 DSCF1871 DSCF1872

Democratic Republic of Congo

DR Congo – Home – 2013

DSCF1809

I have been after this wonderful DR Congo shirt since it was released well over a year ago. I have the previous design which like this shirt features the DRC flag, only this time Erre have used the correct shade of blue. Once again they have played about with the crest meaning that I now have three different DR Congo shirts, featuring three different crests.

I have been following the fortunes of the Democratic Republic of Congo ever since my home club Peterborough United signed Gabriel Zakuani from Fulham. When Les Leopards qualified for the 2013 African Cup of Nations Zakuani became the first ever Posh player to feature at a major international tourament. Despite going out in the group stages, they were close runners for kit of the tournament alongside Cape Verde and Niger.

I am hopeful that I will soon be stocking these in my online shop, so do keep an eye out!DSCF1811 DSCF1812 DSCF1813

At first I thought that these logos were just poorly printed, but on closer inspection they look like some sort of 3D effect.DSCF1814
