Egypt

Egypt dumped Adidas for Puma ahead of the upcoming tournament in their country.

Puma's wavy stripe design on the front goes nicely with the plain red back, white shorts and black socks.

Algeria

The Algeria jersey is simply cool with its typical Adidas stripes and stylish sleeve-ends.

South Africa

Nike's patterned shoulder design, combined with the green and yellow is quite stylish.

Ivory Coast

These are so colourful, simple and stylish. Ivory Coast's orange kits are designed by Puma.
