Unveiled by Asamoah Gyan, the kit’s graphic is designed by CAN artist Godfried Donkor. Speaking about his concept, which is inspired by the Ghana national football team’s nickname ‘Black Stars’, Godfried commented: “The title of the football kit for the Ghanaian national team is Raining Black Stars. The original concept being that the team will ‘Rain’ on their opponents whenever they play.”
