Open the fishing season in style with a hockey jersey inspired by the Bakatue Festival, the lagoon regatta of Elmina, Ghana. The Bakatue Festival Original Hockey Jersey is a custom hockey jersey with your own name and number, made in sizes XS to 6XL and four colors: Lagoon Blue, Canoe Red, Fort White and Palm Green. It is a festive holiday fan shirt and comfortable sports apparel for game day, the rink, Bakatue Festival celebrations and family gatherings, and it works just as well as a matching team jersey.
The Artwork
The sublimated artwork is built around one clear Bakatue Festival theme: a detailed round crest in the middle of the chest, patterned stripes on the sleeves and hem, and a clean back with open space for your name and number. Each colorway keeps a tight palette so the design stays sharp from across the rink. It is an original design with no team, league or brand marks.
- Crest: a red festival canoe with a cream casting net spread over it, leaping fish, two flag-flying regatta canoes and a whitewashed seaside fort above a blue lagoon and palm trees
- Stripes: bands stamped with little canoes and casting nets
- Back: a small canoe at the neck above the name and number
About Bakatue Festival
The Bakatue Festival is celebrated in Elmina, Ghana, usually in early July. Its name refers to the opening of the Benya Lagoon, and it marks the start of the new fishing season with a colorful regatta of decorated canoes, the first casting of the net, drumming, processions and a big community celebration.
