Cameroon make waves with new shirts
SIKASSO,
Cameroon, the only African team to have reached the World Cup quarter-finals, are making footballing history again at this year`s African Nations Cup -- with their shirts.
Their performance in Sunday`s 1-0 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo was little to write home about but their unique sleeveless shirts have made the Indomatible Lions a talking-point once again.
Cameroon looked like a basketball team when they took the field in Sikasso, but the players were happy with the shirts in the burning sub-Saharan heat.
``We were very surprised when we were given the shirts yesterday but it was a pleasant surprise,`` said Patrick Suffoe.
``They look like basketball shirts but they were perfect for us in this weather.``
Suffoe said the shirts had been supplied by team kit suppliers Puma especially for the tournament.
``I think we will be using them for the rest of the competition but I don`t know about the World Cup, I don`t know what FIFA think about them,`` he said.
``It`s a special shirt for a special team.``
