Cape Verde

Cape Verde's footballing culture has deep roots in the Portuguese tradition, and that connection shows in the shirts. Sporting Clube da Praia, based in the capital Santiago, is the sole Cape Verdean club in this archive, and it arrives in green and white stripes that consciously echo Sporting de Lisboa, from whom it borrowed both name and visual identity. One shirt, one club, but a story that crosses the Atlantic and speaks to how football carries belonging across borders. This collection holds that thread between archipelago and mainland, expressed through the language of stripes.
