The new design marks the third edition of a successful collaboration between LeFA and Umbro which features on-field and off field attire for the teams as well as home, away friendly matches replica for the supporters.<\/p>\n
The fresh kit comes as part of a new three-year contract with Umbro and comes with improved terms compared to the first deal between the two parties.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the launch ceremony, LeFA President Advocate Salemane Phafane (KC) emphasised the importance of aligning the national teams\u2019 image with their ambitions on the global stage while keeping the identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe national team kit is a big thing because it is a sign that differentiates who you are from others. It is not just about wearing the kit. To us it is a flag, and we respect it. Of course, above everything, it\u2019s the national flag,\u201d Advocate Phafane said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe agreed that even if we improve and change, we should not abandon our identity, and that\u2019s the first edition of our jersey, we don\u2019t want to go far away from it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese kits are more than just uniforms; they symbolise our national pride and the spirit of football in Lesotho. With Umbro\u2019s expertise, we are confident our teams will stand out both in appearance and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The LeFA President stated that their relationship with Umbro started in 2019 and has grown from strength to strength in recent years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe relationship between LeFA and Umbro started in 2019 with the first edition of the striped kit which was revised in 2023 though still keeping a similar design. The continued relationship over the years is said to be due to integrity and respect that the company has for the Lesotho Football governing body.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud that we have established a relationship with a company that respects us and not only take us for a ride, which also helps us because they do not only supply us with jerseys but whenever we run out of match balls, we tell them, and they immediately provide us a consignment of match balls for free. They help us a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The home kit features white colours with Lesotho\u2019s iconic blue and the green colours striped on the chest, paying homage to the nation\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n
The away kit has a similar design with the iconic blue that has white and green stipes and friendly kits explore a similar design with the dominant green with blue and white stripes colour combinations that bring a contemporary flair to the national teams\u2019 look.<\/p>\n
The new design has kids\u2019 replicas are available along with special cuts for women and they all sell for M600.
