FC Nordsjalland incorporates Ghanaian symbols into its kit

Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjaelland has released its away kit for the 2023-24 season and it is a masterpiece creation with tradition. The Nike-designed black shirt has five stripes on its left side that run from the shoulder to the lower end of the shirt. Shirt sponsor, DHL is splashed across the midsection with the club’s famed logo nicely placed above it, neatly seated on three of the five stripes made of three unique symbols from three different countries.

Beyond that, the neck of the shirt has the inscription “Humility, Partnership, Family” with each word preceded by a unique symbol of Ghanaian, Egyptian and Danish tradition. The symbols represent the connection the club has in all these three countries with its Right to Dream academy.

The new away shirt for the 2023/2024 season has just landed in Farum. Nike and FC Nordsjælland have jointly designed the shirt, and again this year DHL adorns the chest of the shirt, while Arbejdernes Landsbank adorns the back and left sleeve of the shirt. The away shirt is inspired by our away shirt from the 2017/18 season, and is a tribute to our club and Right to Dream with the three current academies in Denmark, Egypt and Ghana.

The three symbols that adorn the front and neck of the shirt have been chosen by children at the academies and represent our values ​​and talent work across national borders. The first symbol, Dwennimmen, represents the word humility, and was chosen by our Ghanaian academy to symbolize the importance of remaining humble.

The second symbol, Gebo, represents the word partnership and was chosen by our Danish academy to symbolize our collaboration across the academies.

The third and final symbol, Ankh, represents the word family and was chosen by our Egyptian Academy to symbolize that we are all one family.
