Haiti entered the 2026 World Cup for the first time since 1974—a remarkable feat considering the significant sociopolitical strife the country has had to endure in the decades since.

And while the team was knocked out of the tournament relatively early, it was less about winning at soccer and more about winning our hearts. More about reminding the world of the tenacity and love of the Haitian people; of how they won their independence and helped other nations go on to win theirs too. The Haitian National Team did all of this and more, in glorious fashion—compelling us to immortalize this moment in history and to honor them, honor the Haitian spirit. 

The garment is a striped cotton/polyester blend soccer jersey; printed with a stylized version of the Byas & Leon logo + the 'crest' version of our proprietary monogram + an approximate silhouette of the actual island nation of Haiti, all on the front—with the number '04' (symbolizing the year 1804, where Jean-Jacques Dessalines declared Haiti a free and independent nation) beneath the indigenous spelling of Haiti, "AYITI", printed on the back. 

Initially released only in-store and in tandem with our momentous gathering with Council Member Chi Ossé in June of 2026, this particular variant of the jersey—featuring a cream, grey/taupe, black and red colorway—sold out almost immediately. But because we love you, and because many of you are vocally upset at us for being a tad secretive and devious LOL, we've decided to make another (and final) batch of these available :) This jersey is exclusively fabricated in a BOX cut. 

Beloved friends/models showed up & showed out: with Isoke (gold/brown hair) being 5'11" and wearing a size Large. With Tosin (short hair) being 6'3" and wearing an XL.
