The Ethiopia home shirt traditionally features vibrant green as its base colour, directly inspired by the Ethiopian national flag's tricolour of green, yellow, and red. What makes Ethiopian football kits truly special is their incorporation of Tibeb - traditional textile patterns that have been woven into Ethiopian culture for centuries.
The 2021/22 collection from Umbro South Africa stands as perhaps the most culturally significant kit design in Ethiopian football history. Each of the three jerseys features graphics inspired by traditional Tibeb textile patterning, transforming the national team kit into a canvas for Ethiopian heritage.
The home jersey showcases a series of triangular diagonals in varying shades of green on the front, finished with an emerald collar. This geometric pattern isn't just decorative - Tibeb is a term used in Ethiopia to describe the pattern or decoration made by either handweaving with supplementary weft into the border of traditional fabrics, and these traditional clothes signify religious identity as well as ethnic identities in different areas of the country.
The saturated yellow away jersey is covered by an embossed tonal print in the traditional style, while the alternate jersey features a wagon wheel graphic against a striking crimson background. All three jerseys are accented with tri-coloured sleeve cuffs, Ethiopian flag detail above the hem and are made from a lightweight performance fabric.
Tibeb designs are woven using continuous extra weft of one or more different colours, creating intricate decorative borders that have adorned Ethiopian textiles for generations. The woven multicoloured Tibeb appeared during the time of Emperor Menilek II who took power in 1898, and weavers from the Dorze ethnic group in southwestern Ethiopia gained their reputation as the most skilled weavers of the Tibeb by the early 1900s.
By incorporating these patterns into the national team kits, Umbro created jerseys that Ethiopian fans could instantly relate to - shirts that tell the story of their nation's artistic heritage while competing on the global stage.
Our current collection includes the complete range of Ethiopia national team apparel:
Home Shirts - The iconic green jersey with traditional Tibeb-inspired patterns
Away Kits - Bold yellow designs that capture Ethiopia's vibrant spirit
Third Kits - Striking crimson alternates featuring wagon wheel graphics
Training Wear - Technical gear matching the national team's preparation standards
Ethiopia's journey with kit manufacturers reflects the nation's growing football infrastructure. Recent partnerships have produced some of the most culturally authentic kits in international football:
Umbro (2021-2023): The partnership with Umbro South Africa brought sophisticated, heritage-focused designs that won international acclaim for their Tibeb integration
Local Manufacturers (Recent Era): Gofere and Wanaw are two local kit manufacturers who have emerged to sponsor Ethiopian football, with Gofere sponsoring 10 out of the 16 clubs in the Ethiopian Premier League, including the national team
Modern Ethiopia kits utilise lightweight, moisture-wicking performance fabrics designed specifically for East Africa's climate. The polyester-blend materials offer:
Advanced breathability for matches played in Addis Ababa's high altitude (7,726 feet above sea level)
Quick-drying properties to manage perspiration
Durable construction that maintains shape and colour through repeated washing
Stretch technology for optimal movement and comfort
Every Ethiopia shirt honours the national flag's powerful symbolism:
Green: Represents fertility, hope, and the land
Yellow: Symbolises peace, natural wealth, and love
Red: Signifies strength, sacrifice, and determination
These colours have carried deep meaning for Ethiopians since the flag was adopted, making every jersey a patriotic statement.
Ethiopia won their first and only Africa Cup of Nations title in 1962 while hosting the tournament. The simple, classic green shirts worn during that triumphant campaign remain the most iconic in Ethiopian football history. Ethiopia was one of only three teams (along with Egypt and Sudan) to participate in the inaugural Africa Cup of Nations in 1957, and won the competition in 1962 while serving as host.
Under coach Sewnet Bishaw, the team qualified for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations after a 31-year absence. The kit worn during this qualification campaign holds special significance for a generation of Ethiopian fans who witnessed their team return to continental football's biggest stage.
Recent kits paying homage to the Dorze weavers who pioneered Tibeb artistry represent Ethiopia's commitment to celebrating indigenous craftsmanship. These designs have attracted international attention from kit collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.
The green, yellow and red shirts have been worn by exceptional players who've represented Ethiopia with pride across decades.
Getaneh Kebede is Ethiopia's nation's all-time top goalscorer, having scored 33 goals in 67 matches. Born in Dilla in 1992, Getaneh was the 2013 top scorer of the Ethiopian Premier League before succeeding in a trial with Bidvest Wits in South Africa and signing a three-year contract.
Saladin Said - The Egyptian Adventure
Saladin Said's energy, skill, and goal-scoring ability in critical games made him one of the indispensable players in eastern Africa. In 2011, Saladin transferred to Egyptian club Wadi Degla FC, with the club paying 2,040,000 Ethiopian birr ($240,000 US) - at the time the highest sum ever paid for an Ethiopian footballer.
Historic Heroes
The 1962 AFCON-winning squad created Ethiopia's greatest football moment, with players whose names are still revered by older generations of supporters. These pioneers established the foundation for Ethiopian football's identity.

Style Your Ethiopia Kit
Ethiopia football shirts pair beautifully with our wider African football shirts collection. The distinctive green, yellow and red colour scheme complements many other African nations' kits.
Many fans also browse neighbouring Kenya, Sudan, and Eritrea sections, celebrating East African football solidarity. The shared Tibeb textile traditions with Eritrea make these jerseys particularly meaningful for those appreciating Horn of Africa culture.
For supporters interested in the domestic game, explore Ethiopian Premier League shirts from legendary clubs like Saint George, Fasil Kenema, and Ethiopian Coffee to complete your collection.
The emergence of local sports brand manufacturers like Gofere and Wanaw has transformed Ethiopian football kit culture. Previously, clubs didn't have official kit partners and could not fulfil demand from players and fans, with players unable to exchange jerseys after games even at national team level.
Now fans can access the kits, filling stadiums with colourfully dressed supporters who add their unique look on match days. This democratisation of kit availability has strengthened the connection between supporters and their national team, with replica shirts becoming symbols of Ethiopian pride worn far beyond matchdays.
The team's nickname comes from the Walia Ibex, a species of wild goat found only in Ethiopia's Simien Mountains. This endangered animal symbolises Ethiopia's unique natural heritage, making it a perfect emblem for the national team. The connection between the team and this distinctive Ethiopian creature appears in various kit details and badge designs.
Altitude Advantage: Ethiopia's home kits are tested at Addis Ababa's extreme altitude (7,726 feet), making them among the few national team kits specifically designed for high-altitude performance. The lightweight fabrics help players manage the thinner air.
Textile Heritage: The Tibeb patterns on modern kits use the same geometric principles that Dorze weavers perfected in the Shiro Meda area of Addis Ababa. Some kit designs have been reviewed by traditional weavers to ensure cultural authenticity.
Collector's Items: The 2021/22 Umbro collection with Tibeb patterns has become highly sought-after among international kit collectors, with some designs selling out quickly due to their unique cultural storytelling.
Flag Evolution: Ethiopia's flag is one of Africa's oldest, and its colours have inspired Pan-African movements worldwide. Ghana, Guinea, Mali, and several other nations adopted similar colour schemes, making Ethiopia's green, yellow and red combination historically significant beyond football.
Manufacturing Revolution: Ethiopia now sponsors 10 of 16 Premier League clubs through local manufacturer Gofere, which has also infiltrated the East African market by working with clubs in Uganda, showcasing how Ethiopian kit manufacturing has become regionally influential.
Whether you're Ethiopian by birth, heritage, or simply admire the Walia Ibex's resilient spirit and culturally rich jersey designs, our Ethiopia shirt collection offers something uniquely special. These aren't just football shirts - they're wearable art that celebrates centuries of textile tradition while supporting one of Africa's founding football nations.
