A lateen-sailed dhow drifts on a sunset sea while a bonfire crackles on the beach on the Mwaka Kogwa Original Hockey Jersey, a festive nod to the Shirazi New Year in Zanzibar. The Mwaka Kogwa hockey jersey is a custom hockey jersey with your own name and number, made in sizes XS to 6XL and four colors: Bonfire Orange, Indian Ocean Teal, Dhow Sail Cream and Clove Brown. It is a festive holiday fan shirt and comfortable sports apparel for game day, the rink, parades, parties and family gatherings, and it works just as well as a matching team jersey.
The Artwork and Where It Sits
The sublimated artwork is built around one clear theme: a detailed round crest in the middle of the chest, crisp patterned stripes on the sleeves and hem, and a clean back with plenty of open space for your name and number. Each colorway keeps a tight palette so the design stays sharp and easy to read from across the rink. It is an original design with no team, league or brand marks.
- Front: a large round chest crest with a beaded outer ring, small stars, the words SHIRAZI NEW YEAR arched across the top and a swallowtail banner reading MWAKA KOGWA
- Crest center: a wooden dhow with a cream lateen sail on a teal sea, a glowing setting sun, a bright bonfire on a sandy beach with rising sparks, a palm tree and twinkling stars on a violet-to-orange sky
- Sleeves: two solid stripes framing a band of suns and waves
- Hem: a solid stripe over a matching patterned band
- Back: your name arched across the shoulders over a big outlined number, with a small star just under the collar (pictured with a sample name and 00)
