Côte d'Ivoire - really, it should never, ever be “Ivory Coast” - have had a decent start to 2024, winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON/CAN) tournament they hosted (after a far-from-decent start in the competition) and being blessed with a Kit of the Week (KOTW) challenge stage.
Les Éléphants have plenty of admirers around the world, due to their exploits and the amount of world football greats who have donned the orange shirt, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that the DF members put huge effort into their entries.
ONI went for a tusk-y affair and FMKGaz green faux-raglan sleeves, to name two impressive designs, but the podium boasted the talents of fayed, who went with a heavy pattern and understated Puma branding - reserving the focus for the national team crest - Sithuralom included a Baule cloth look and the winner, Corinth, stuck a huge tonally sublimated elephant head on the front of the (wait for it) trunk.
Brilliant, and that word could be used to describe all the entries, which were voted on via the dedicated page, and Côte d'Ivoire, the champions of Africa, would look fantastic in all of them.
