Before a ball is even kicked in the USA this summer, Espérance Sportive De Tunis have already thrown their hat into the ring for one major honour: best dressed at the 2025 Club World Cup. Enter stage left, Kappa, who’ve come through with a trio of shirts that do what few can—merge heritage, culture and elite aesthetics in one clean sweep.
Marking their return to the global stage, Espérance de Tunis, the Tunisian champions—known affectionately as “Taraji”—are backed up by a home, away and third shirt designs from Kappa that carry the weight of their 100+ year legacy with undeniable swagger. These aren’t just kits, they’re wearable mosaics of history, a nod to both past and place.
Let’s start with the home shirt. It’s unmistakably Espérance: the iconic red and yellow stripes run down the torso with that unapologetic swagger only Taraji can carry. But look closer and you’ll see a tonal mosaic pattern subtly woven into the fabric—a quiet homage to traditional Tunisian tilework, the kind you’d find in the courtyards of Bab Souika. It's an element that runs through all three jerseys, acting as a nice through thread to what, on first impressions, are three very different kits. For the home though it’s all wrapped up in a design that nods heavily to the 1995/96 home shirt—a vintage vibe that lands hard in 2025.
Next up, the away shirt. This one dials things back from the fiery home palette, opting for a more considered green and white combo. But this isn’t just a switch for the sake of change—it’s a throwback to the club’s early days, when green and white were the first colours they wore. Gold detailing in the branding brings a regal energy that speaks to Taraji’s modern dominance.
Then there’s the third kit, stepping out in deep navy—a colour more traditionally associated with their away strips. But this time, it's elevated with those same golden accents, bringing a sense of continuity and sharpness to the collection. Understated but far from forgettable, it completes a set that’s primed for the world stage.
Espérance de Tunis aren’t just repping Tunisia—they’re carrying the flag for an entire continent. And now, thanks to Kappa, they’ll be doing it in serious style. A perfect fusion of culture, class and competition-ready craftsmanship.
From Bab Souika to the USA. Let the world know: Taraji have arrived.
