This limited-edition design is a tribute to our ancestors, the professors, graduate students, and scholars who were forcibly taken from their homes and communities during the transatlantic slave trade.

The Sankore University Legend Series - Limited Edition Women's Jersey This limited edition jersey celebrates the enduring legacy of Sankore University, one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world. Located in Timbuktu, Mali, Sankore was a beacon of knowledge, culture, and scholarship, attracting scholars from across Africa and beyond. At its height, it housed thousands of manuscripts, advanced scholarship, and rigorous intellectual exchange. The Sankore University Legend Series pays tribute to our ancestors—the professors, graduate students, and scholars—whose brilliance and contributions to education were tragically disrupted by the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade. Many of these brilliant minds were kidnapped, enslaved, and dispersed across the world, but their intellectual and cultural legacy continues to resonate. This jersey embodies the resilience and brilliance of those who were stolen from their homelands, their studies, and their communities. It is a reminder of their unyielding contribution to human progress, even in the face of unimaginable adversity. Crafted in high-quality fabric, this women's jersey features design elements inspired by the intellectual and cultural achievements of Sankore University, with symbolic references to the lost knowledge, books, and wisdom that were disrupted by enslavement. The jersey is a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and a tribute to those whose legacies live on in every achievement of the African diaspora. 4.3 oz., 60/40 cotton/ polyester slub jerseyTwo white stripes on sleeves
