The
new kits feature PUMA’s new football apparel innovation PWR ACTV, a first-to-market
use of both athletic taping and compression within the apparel.
The
ACTV tape is strategically placed within the garment to provide micro-massages
on the skin, working with the human body to help maximise performance and
provide players with a faster, more effective energy supply to the active
muscles.
This
combined with the underarm mesh inserts for increased breathability and freedom
of movement, will help Ghana have a competitive advantage at this year’s World
Cup.
The
home shirt features bold African inspired graphic print inserts on the neck and
sleeves that represent the pride of Ghana and the national team nickname the
Black Stars. The print is created in the national flag colours, with stars and
a football field graphic.
PUMA
player Asamoah Gyan and Ghana National Team Captain said, “The team has been
waiting a long time since the 2010 World Cup in which we reached the quarter
finals. Being so close to becoming the first African team to reach the
semi-final was a great triumph but painful at the same time and are really
motivated to come back and achieve an even better result. The new kit design
from PUMA reflects the pride and passion of our nation and we’ll be leaving for
Brasil with full confidence that we can make our country proud.”
