Kit Detail & Heritage – The Story of the Gabon National Team Shirt
Nicknamed Les Panthères (The Panthers), the Gabon national football team has developed a proud and recognisable identity within African football. Their kits reflect the vibrancy of the nation itself — bold yellow, green, and blue tones drawn from the national flag and designed to capture both energy and elegance on the pitch.
Early Gabon kits were simple and functional, but as the team’s reputation grew, so did their aesthetic. Manufacturers have introduced modern fabrics, refined tailoring, and subtle design details such as claw-mark textures and graphic prints symbolising the team’s predatory spirit. The result: a series of shirts that balance national pride with technical innovation.
Famous Gabon Shirts Through the Years
1996 AFCON Home Kit – One of Gabon’s earliest iconic designs, with bright yellow and green accents during their memorable run in South Africa.
2012 AFCON Co-Host Edition – Designed by Puma, this striking yellow home kit featured embossed patterns inspired by the Gabonese flag. It became instantly recognisable as Gabon reached the quarter-finals while hosting the tournament alongside Equatorial Guinea.
2017 AFCON Shirt – Another bold Puma design, combining a deep yellow base with subtle geometric textures and blue trim. It captured both tradition and modern performance.
2023 Kit Relaunch – Continuing the partnership with Puma, the new shirts use lightweight recycled polyester and mesh panels for breathability. The home shirt remains yellow, while the away version adds a crisp white base with subtle national detailing.
Legends & Modern Stars
Few players embody Gabonese football like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose explosive pace and leadership made the Panthers a continental powerhouse. Alongside him, names like Daniel Cousin, Bruno Ecuele Manga, and Didier Ovono have represented Gabon with pride on the world stage.
Tournament Heritage – AFCON & Beyond
Gabon’s best performances have come in the Africa Cup of Nations, where they’ve qualified multiple times since 1994. Their most notable campaigns were 1996 and 2012, both reaching the quarter-finals, and more recently 2017, when they again hosted the tournament.
Though Gabon has yet to appear at the FIFA World Cup, their growing presence on the African stage — powered by players competing in Europe’s top leagues — makes them one of the continent’s most exciting emerging teams.
Each shirt, from the bright yellows of the 90s to today’s refined Puma designs, tells the story of a nation steadily climbing football’s global ladder.
