This announcement was made via the federation’s social networks, arousing both enthusiasm from supporters and some questions.
An unchanged jersey:
Contrary to the expectations of some, the Congolese selection will not wear new outfits for the competition. The Leopards will continue to wear the Umbro jersey released in 2023. FECOFA wanted to reassure fans by declaring that the current jersey will be the same as that worn during the CAN.
A common trend for major brands:
The decision not to release new jerseys for CAN 2023 is not exclusive to Umbro. Major brands Adidas, Nike and Puma have also confirmed that they will not introduce new kits for the competition. According to the specialist site Footy Headlines, this trend is rare, especially given the fact that Puma dresses a quarter of the selections entered in the competition.
Diversity of brands and involvement of equipment manufacturers:
CAN 2023 will be marked by a diversity of equipment brands, with a total of 18 brands represented. Puma dominates with six teams under its banner, followed by Lacatoni as the second most present brand. This diversity underlines the importance of equipment manufacturers in African football and their desire to support national teams in their exploits on the field.
Conclusion :
The confirmation of the continuation of the Umbro jersey for the Congolese selection during CAN 2023 sparked mixed reactions among supporters. While some were eager to see a new outfit, others welcomed the consistency and continuity. Regardless, the Congolese national team will be able to count on the support of its fervent supporters, regardless of the jersey it wears on the field. CAN 2023 promises to be exciting and the Leopards are ready to roar to proudly represent their country.
