Whenever Africa has the opportunity to show up on the world stage, they never disappoint. The Democratic Republic Of Congo's national team arrived for their first Worse Cup in over fifty years. And from these fits alone, it might be worth the wait. Their squad is known as the leopards. And the players landed in coordinated black suits featuring leopard print details right down to the broaches and the matching better print travel bags. The looks were designed by Alvin Junior Mac. He's an emerging designer based in Paris and I'm glad he's getting the recognition for his work. Every single Congolese uncle I know always does the most. This country is known for its fashion. Tier support and their dandy culture are some of the most respected style movements in the world and you can feel that lineage with this. No, they had incredible outfits best Afcon and they're following it up again here. The elephants arrival uniform is a three piece suit. They good a all white shirt and trousers with a bold orange African print blazer. The image of the elephant on the back is their national symbol. This was designed by Ibrahim Fernandez, a self taught designer and stylist from The Ivory Coast. The print itself is inspired by tapa fabric which originates from West Africa. These African football federations are getting designers from their countries and creating outfits that carry actual cultural weight. This is what you should look like when you're showing up for the worse game. Let me know which Worst Cup arrival phase has been your favorite so far. I'll see you guys in the next one.
