The inspiration for the design of the Yemeni national team uniform is the ancient city of Shibam. A 200-year-old city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the very tall buildings found there, all made of mud bricks, with the tallest of them rising to a height of about 30 meters and being about 8 stories high.
This unique city and its skyline are the ones that inspired the creation of the patten that adorns the Yemeni national team uniform. The resulting patten is an abstraction of the city's skyline and buildings and transforming it into something rhythmic and flowing.
