New Egypt home jersey 2009-11- African Cup of Nations

The new Egypt football home shirt for the 2009-10 and 2010-2011 seasons has been released by Puma. The Egyptian national soccer team will wear this jersey in Angola (2010) when they defend their African Cup of Nations title.

The template used is similar to the other creations by Puma for the African Cup of Nations. The shirt is primarily red in colour, and we can see a stencil of the Pharaoh on the right hand top corner of the shirt ( The Egyptian national football team are nicknamed the Pharoahs).

The six stars above the Egypt logo represent the number of times the country has won the African Cup of Nations.
