2010 · Away

Puma dressed Morocco in white with thin green, gold and red pinstripes, the flag's colours reduced to trim, and the federation crest with its star over the country's map. On the back, Chamakh's 17, a forward then at Bordeaux and on his way to Arsenal, one of the faces of the national team in those years.

It is the 2010 away shirt, from the year Morocco failed to qualify for the World Cup played, for the first time, on African soil, in neighbouring South Africa.

Here at Hoopster, this is Morocco in quiet hoops: the flag reduced to three thin lines, worn by a forward playing Champions League across the Mediterranean while the national team missed the continent's own party.
