The first dates back to 2002, with the launch of the new jersey for the Africa Cup that Eto'o and Olembé-Olembé's Cameroon won in Mali. The shirt has been nicknamed "sleeveless" because it is literally sleeveless, almost like a basketball tank top. If on the one hand the FECAFOOT did not encounter problems in what was a variant never seen up to that moment, on the other hand FIFA does not tolerate that the indomitable lions of Africa show up with that jersey at the Japanese-Korean World Cup. The official justification relating to the shirt concerns the inability to attach the tournament patch on the sleeves.
Cameroon tried a push-and-pull they knew they couldn't win, but despite the black sleeves that were added later - ruining PUMA's design experiment - the shirt remains a milestone in football jersey designs.

That's easier said than done. Because what do you do if you are in between two sizes?
Well, that's up to you. Do you like a tight fit? Go for the smaller size. Loving a loose fit? Go for the larger size.
TOP FIT
If your body measurements for chest and waist result in two different suggested sizes, order the size from your chest measurement.
