Football jerseys are becoming more and more popular all the time, but for some they are more of a fashion statement rather than showing support for the team they follow.
While you'll always see a Liverpool or Man Utd top on the high-street, you'll also occasionally see someone wearing something that you're sure is a football team's jersey, but have no clue what the hell it is. A football hipster lives for that feeling, they get high on it. Wearing a jersey of a team so obscure that you have to ask them who it is, is as good as it gets.
Up until now they have had to settle for something they picked up on a trip to Morocco, or just found on eBay, but AMS Clothing are here to make it far, far easier to rock the most obscure of the obscure in African football.
And some of them are sensational.
Ivory Coast and Ghana have some beautiful jerseys out right now, but if they are too "mainstream" for you, let us direct you to the likes of Sierra Leone, Eritrea, and Djibouti:
Sierra Leone Away:
South Sudan Home:
Djibouti Home:
Eritrea Away:
Ethiopia Home:
Biafra Home:
And they do club teams too...
Al-Salam Wau (South Sudan) Home:
Barawa (Somalia) Home:
Cabinda (Angola) Home:
Darfur United (Sudan) Home:
So... Why are all these incredibly obscure teams' jerseys on sale from the UK? Well, they have a mission statement on site that explains that they set out to supply teams first and foremost, then made the replica jerseys available for sale.
AMS Clothing was founded in 2014 with a mission to support football in Africa by supplying uniforms to the strongly supported, yet under-resourced national teams and clubs of the continent.
Since then, we have gone on to become a brand known for high quality designs, customised to the exact specifications of each team that we supply. Our philosophy it to produce ethically and locally, while providing players and fans with attractive apparel that proudly represents their club or country.
And there's clearly a market for them, as jerseys are added and removed from the site regularly depending on stock.
So there you have it, if you know a true football hipster be sure to let them know, and if you are one yourself then get stuck in.
