Take A Peek At MIZIZI & Disney’s Afro-centric Special Edition “Lion King” Jersey

African street wear brand, MIZIZI, returns with another timely collaboration with Disney, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of our childhood classic, “The Lion King” and celebrate its remake, with a sleek new baseball jersey collection.

The black and gold baseball jersey has a tinge of tribal patterns with both of the brands’ logos on the front and a royal band on the left sleeve. At the bottom, you’ll see a silhouette of Rafiki holding up young Simba. Wrapped around the back, notice more drawings of the elephants, giraffes and more animals of the Savannah we know so well from the film. The back is also stamped with 1994 to commemorate the year The Lion King was originally released.

The brand says the collection also features kid size jerseys, catering to the next generation of viewers of the upcoming live-action remake; “The Lion King marked many of our childhoods. Much before we were aware of our identities, it resonated with us.”

MIZIZI (meaning “roots” in Swahili) – is a lifestyle brand that embodies the spirit and strength of its African ancestors. Founded in 2015 and inspired by various cultures revolving around African roots, with limited, exclusive collections designed with their values in mind: connection and representation.
The MIZIZI X Lion King jersey has been available for pre-order since July 18 on their website.
