Abryanz has today officially unveiled the AB National Jersey, launched under the theme “Made in Kampala,” and positioned as an unofficial national treasure and a “fan uniform” for a new generation of style-conscious Ugandans at only UGx. 220k.
The jersey’s design is deeply rooted in Ugandan identity, featuring the Grey Crowned Crane as its central symbol. A bird of profound national significance, the crane is not only a centerpiece of the Ugandan flag but is also the namesake of the national football team, The Cranes.
By incorporating this emblem, Abryanz aims to celebrate a symbol that already belongs to the nation’s story, reinterpreting it through a contemporary “Afro-Sport” lens.
Beyond its Ugandan roots, the jersey draws from a broader pan-African aesthetic. A key design element is the checkerboard pattern, a motif chosen for its historical presence in African creative life, from vintage family portrait backdrops to intricate textile patterns and architecture.
The visual direction also pays homage to vintage African football memorabilia. With its color palette and bold graphics, the piece is designed to feel both like an archival collectible and a forward-looking fashion statement.
According to the official press release, the AB National Jersey is not intended to be a replica of an official team kit. Instead, it is “created by culture and for culture,” capturing the raw energy of the football terraces while remaining a versatile piece for streetwear and music circles.
The jersey serves as a tribute to this spirit, blending football nostalgia with the enduring creativity of the continent which is part of the brand’s Transitional Core 2026 collection. As part of the launch, the brand reaffirms its commitment to the “Made in Kampala” movement, emphasizing that modern African design can stand confidently on the global stage while remaining rooted in local heritage.
The AB National Jersey is now a centerpiece of the Abryanz lineup, available through their flagship outlet at Garden City Shopping Mall or their website Abryanz Shop.
