AFCON 2025 is less than two weeks away, and while every nation arrives in Morocco dreaming of continental glory, there is already one competition well underway – the battle for the best-looking kit.
Unlike previous editions dominated by a handful of brands, AFCON 2025 features at least 18 different manufacturers, each taking their own approach. Puma leads the field with six major teams, including host nation Morocco, while Nike, Adidas, Macron and Airness add their own creative identities into the mix. Cultural storytelling, traditional patterns and local design collaborations have become central themes, marking this as one of the most visually ambitious AFCON tournaments ever.
Here we rank the Top 10 Kits at AFCON 2025 based on design quality, cultural symbolism and the reception from fans and global kit analysts.
The Top 10 AFCON 2025 Kits
10. Gabon – Puma
Gabon’s entry into Puma’s AFCON line-up brings a clean, modern design that uses the nation’s colours effectively while adding subtle panther-inspired detailing. It may not be as visually loud as Senegal or Morocco, but it is a stylish, well-balanced shirt that rounds off the top ten.
9. Botswana – All Kasi
Botswana arrive at AFCON 2025 as one of the most exciting debut stories of the tournament, and their home shirt more than rises to the moment. It is a bold reinterpretation of the nation’s iconic blue identity, blending elegance with a proud sense of national symbolism.
8. Tunisia – Kappa (Home)
Tunisia step into AFCON 2025 with one of the most striking home shirts of the tournament, a design that blends history, national identity and sharp modern detailing. With a powerful, vivid red base and a tonal pattern inspired by Roman mosaics, creating wave-like movement across the fabric, the design channels the Mediterranean energy and Tunisia’s heritage as a crossroads of cultures
From distance it looks clean and bold, but up close the mosaic texture brings the shirt to life.
7. Algeria – Adidas (Home)
Algeria’s home kit draws inspiration from the intricate embroidery of the karakou, one of the country’s most recognisable traditional outfits. White and gold combine for a look that feels ceremonial, elegant and refreshing in a field dominated by bold colours. It is a shirt for purists who value simplicity delivered at a high level.
6. Cameroon – Adidas (Home)
Few nations carry as much kit heritage as Cameroon, and their new home jersey continues that legacy with a design that feels powerful, iconic and unmistakably Indomitable. It blends tradition with modern flair, presenting one of the strongest African designs of the cycle.
5. Ivory Coast – Puma (Home)
Bright, unmistakable and full of personality, Ivory Coast’s home shirt brings the Elephants’ signature orange back to the forefront. Inspired by traditional dances and cultural festivals, the patterns offer subtle detail without overpowering the iconic colour. It is clean, confident and perfectly suited to a defending champion.
4. Senegal – Puma (Away)
Senegal’s striking green away kit is one of the boldest visuals of the entire tournament. What looks like abstract texture at a distance reveals itself as a roaring lion’s head sculpted across the chest. The reveal effect is dramatic, unique and perfectly aligned with the Lions of Teranga identity. It is a modern classic and comfortably among Puma’s sharpest African designs in recent years.
3. Egypt – Puma (Home)
Egypt’s deep-red home kit has been hailed as one of the smartest designs of AFCON 2025. At first glance it appears simple, but the textured zig-zag pattern inspired by pyramids, dunes and pharaonic iconography elevates the shirt into something far more refined. It is a shirt rooted in Egypt’s history without slipping into cliché, and one that feels worthy of Africa’s most successful national team.
2. Morocco – Puma (Home)
As hosts, Morocco could not afford to get this wrong – and they delivered the most culturally rich collection of the tournament. The home shirt is drenched in red, patterned with a tone-on-tone star referencing the national flag and decorated with motifs inspired by zellige mosaics and Amazigh heritage. Designed alongside Moroccan artist Abderrahmane Trabsini, it is a masterclass in local storytelling through design.
1. Nigeria – Nike (2024 Away Kit)
Nigeria might not have a new release until March 2026, but the current away shirt remains one of the finest designs in international football. Nike has mastered the balance of sophistication and personality, with a black base broken by streaks of electric green that nod to the country’s creative communities. It feels modern, expressive and unmistakably Nigerian. Even without a new drop, the Super Eagles still set the fashion standard on the continent. This is the standout kit heading into AFCON.
