Green body with white and orange horizontal bands across the chest and hem, white V-neck trim with Puma's signature asymmetric shoulder sash in white, orange #15 on the front, white Puma cat on the chest, and the Côte d'Ivoire elephant crest on the left with a star above it. PEN in orange lettering across the back with a large orange #15 beneath it. The lettering and numbers show that cracked, well-worn texture — this jersey has been lived in.
Looking at it closely, "PEN" could be a shortened or partially peeled name — the orange heat-press lettering from this era of Puma kits was notorious for cracking and lifting over time. It's possible this originally read a longer surname. That said, the 2010 Ivory Coast squad was loaded — Drogba, Touré, Gervinho, Kalou — and the green away kit was the one they wore in South Africa during their World Cup campaign. Les Éléphants were drawn into a brutal group with Brazil, Portugal, and North Korea, and despite beating North Korea 3-0, they couldn't survive a group that stacked two of the tournament favorites against them.
African national team kits from the 2010 World Cup — the first on African soil — carry a significance that goes beyond football. Whether this is a squad player or a custom piece, it's a rare green colorway from a historic moment.
