Dutch football jersey customiser Floor Wesseling has created another trademark mash-up shirt for an ex-profesional player – this time celebrating the career of the legendary Nigerian striker, Nwankwo Kanu.
The bespoke jersey is made up of some of the most iconic shirts worn by the big man in his 20 year career, which started in his homeland at Iwuanyanwu Nationale and ended at Portsmouth, with iconic spells at Ajax, Inter Milan, Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion in between. Wesseling's 'Blood In Blood Out' design company took some of his most standout jerseys to present a visual timeline of his career to the gangly frontman.
Kanu was involved in the design process and selected his favourite jerseys from his time at Arsenal, Portsmouth, Ajax, Inter Milan & West Brom before 'Blood In Blood Out' sourced them and worked their magic. The African forward won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, and an Olympic Gold Medal with his magic feet in his decorated career, as well as twice being named African Player of the Year. He was even relegated from the Premier League making him his career timeline somewhat of a unique one.
This ain't the first time 'Blood In Blood Out' have dabbled with kit mash-ups, in fact they're quickly earning a reputation as owning the space having already whipped up similar concepts for Wesley Sneijder, Jari Litmanen, and Edgar Davids amongst others.
