The Famous 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Kits
The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations marked a watershed moment in Gabon kit history. As tournament co-hosts alongside Equatorial Guinea, Gabon worked with Puma to create spectacular designs that captured global attention. The home kit featured an all-over panther print design across the yellow base - a bold artistic statement that became one of AFCON's most talked-about jerseys.
This revolutionary design was created as part of Puma's Creative African Network (CAN) initiative, where renowned African artists designed each kit. The panther motif, representing Gabon's national team nickname, was rendered in intricate detail across the shirt fabric, creating a tonal effect that looked different under various lighting conditions. The kit even featured at a month-long exhibition at London's Design Museum, cementing its status as football fashion history.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wore this iconic design as Gabon reached the quarter-finals, their best-ever AFCON performance. The tournament saw Aubameyang net three goals in his breakout international performance, making these shirts highly sought after by collectors today.
Kit Design Evolution: The Kappa Era (2019-2022)
Gabon's partnership with Italian manufacturer Kappa produced some of the most artistically acclaimed national team kits in recent memory. The 2022 AFCON collection stands as a masterclass in modern kit design:
2022 Home Kit - Featured a sophisticated tonal panther graphic across the front, created using a pattern from the FEGAFOOT logo. The shadow effect made the panther visible in certain lights while maintaining a clean yellow appearance. The same intricate pattern appeared on the sleeves, with Kappa's signature Omini logos rendered in blue monochrome. The Kombat Pro System technology provided ultra-resistant, elastic, and breathable performance.
2022 Away Kit - A predominantly white design with striking yellow sleeves created visual impact. The clean aesthetic offered contrast to the ornate home shirt while maintaining Gabon's colour identity.
2022 Third Kit - Perhaps the most innovative of all, this shirt paid homage to Gabon's flag through a tri-colour design representing the forest (green), sun (yellow), and sea (blue). The stylised flag graphic on the front created a fashion-forward piece that transcended typical sportswear.
The Kombat Pro 2022 jerseys marked Kappa's first collaboration with FEGAFOOT, combining Italian design excellence with Gabonese cultural identity. These shirts became instant collector's items and frequently appear in "best kit" discussions among football fashion enthusiasts.

Gabon's Football Legends
The yellow shirt has been worn by exceptional attacking talent, with Gabon producing some of Africa's most celebrated forwards.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stands as Gabon's greatest-ever player and all-time leading goalscorer with 35 international goals. Born in France to a footballing family - his father Pierre Aubameyang captained Gabon and worked as an AC Milan scout - Aubameyang chose Les Panthères over France and Spain. He made his debut in 2009 aged 19 and became the first Gabonese player to win African Footballer of the Year in 2015, a historic achievement for his nation.
Denis Bouanga has emerged as Gabon's modern attacking spearhead, currently starring in MLS with Los Angeles FC.
Mario Lemina provides experience and control in midfield, having played for top European clubs including Juventus, Southampton, Fulham, and Wolves.
The Aubameyang football family runs deep - Pierre-Emerick's father Pierre Aubameyang earned 29 caps for Gabon, while brothers Catilina and Willy also pursued professional careers, creating a dynasty in Gabonese football.
