African Clothing.
A small, deliberate catalog. T-shirts and jerseys with specific meaning. Hats in the pan-African tricolor. Everything on City of Benin is made for the diaspora — people who want their heritage on them without the costume feel.
What's in the catalog
- African tees — the BENIN CITY heavyweight collection.
- The Afroballers Daomey jersey — lifestyle football, premium athletic mesh.
- Benin City trucker hats — black, red, and green. The pan-African flag colors. Benin City 900 A.D. embroidery.
- Handcrafted jewelry — Iyoba Pendants, Edo-color necklaces.
Why "African clothing" and not "ethnic wear"
Because this isn't a costume. The pieces here aren't aso ebi or ankara or dashiki — those traditions have their own masters. This is streetwear that acknowledges where its design decisions come from. African clothing in the sense of: clothing for and by African and diaspora people, with specific references to specific places. Benin City. Edo State. The Benin Kingdom. Afroballers.
