Replicas of kit worn by Cameroon's national team at the African Nations Cup is the supporters fashion item of choice.

You cannot walk or drive through Yaounde, Cameroon's capital, for five minutes without spotting someone in the jersey.

With the boom of the trade, many people have entered the kit-selling business.

Lions' shirts are sold in supermarkets, telephone booths, bars, and bookshops.

"On seeing my neighbours selling about 85 shirts within two weeks, I decided to try it. Today, I'm also making money!," explained trader Guy Tsajio.

Meeting demand

After the Lions' victory in Mali, the few shirts available in the local markets came from Asia but they could not meet the demands of the fans.

But there's an influx of shirts from Europe and Asia, while some are locally produced.

"The white sleeveless shirt which comes from Dubai and Saudi Arabia, remains the hot cake. It's scarce to find," remarked Ahmadou Sa�dou, a trade in Mokolo market.

"The youths are mad for it. They want to look sexy.

"Shirts with the names of Eto'o Fils, Mboma, Song, Etame, Njitap are frequently asked for."
