Football has gained considerable grounds in the sporting culture of Ghana. Along with it came other auxiliary aspects of the game, as the beautiful sport assumed global status. Ghana’s introduction to the game in its formal aspects commenced with exposure by foreigners in thier trade missions to the shore of the Gold Coast. Interactions with these foreigners led to several eye-opening aspects of the game from training and preparations, strategies and tactics, as well as apparel used for matches.

This book catalogues the journey of the jerseys used by Ghana’s National Teams together with some key historical facts and tales about some legendary names to have ever donned the famous Ghana kit. From the colonial era, this heralded an active administration of the colony by the British, through to the glorious winning decades of the sixties and seventies, the ‘skin’ of Ghanaian players on the pitch, with its designs, meanings, and significance captured in simple but memorable fashion.
