Tried looking for info on how to get their new strip, when I found an article about their team from 1993 that were aboard a plane that crashed and killed 18 players. Very sad!

Info below, plus link. I have to say I don't remember any of this.

The tragedy befell Zambia national football team when the military plane (reg.AF-319) carrying the team to Senegal for a 1994 world cup qualification match crashed in the late evening of April 27 1993. The journey needed two refueling stops and at the first stop in Congo, engine problems were noted in the ZAF buffalo DHC-5D. Despite this, the flight continued and a few minutes after taking off from a second stop in Libreville, Gabon, one of the engines caught fire and failed. The pilot, who was tired from already having flown back from Mauritius earlier that day, then shut down the wrong engine, causing the plane to lose all power during the climb out of Libreville airport and fall into the water 500m offshore.

All 30 passengers and crew, including 18 players as well as the coaches and support staff, were lost in the accident. When news reached Zambia hours later, the nation was overcome. Indeed the nation was trounced because it had lost assets which were unreplaceable. The lads were just unstoppable and had we not lost them, we would have been talking about how Zambia national soccer team lifted the 1994 Africa cup trophy. In spite of the tragedy, the hard working Kalu came forth to carry the team to the final of the African Cup of Nations in Tunisia. Having to complete its World Cup qualifiers, and with the African Nations Cup only months away, the quickly assembled, and inexperienced new national team were given a difficult task. Kalusha Bwalya and his new Chipolopolo worked hard to rebuild the team . The resurrected team defied the odds, and displaying an offensive playing style, they reached the Africa Nations Cup final against Nigeria. They took the lead in the first half, but the Super Eagles quickly equalized and followed up with the winner in the second half. In spite of the loss, the Zambian side returned home as national heroes.

"Thousands wailed while hundreds failed as the 30 bodies of the plane crash victims arrived at Lusaka International Airport from Gabon yesterday to an emotionally charged and moaning reception attended by President Fredrick Chiluba and almost the entire Cabinet including Vice President Levy Patrick Mwanawansa," wrote the Daily Mail on May 3,1993.

President Chiluba knelt down before wailing family members of the deceased with some of them crying for his help to console them.

Prefer this Bremen strip:

Mind you, as the most passionate Eintracht Frankfurt fan on this board I would never be seen dead in it.

Also got the Bremen top, actually got it over in Bremen itself where it is a whopping 69.95 euros, £65. Obviously would not have bought it myself at that price, but as I had organised the trip, the other lads threw in a fiver each for it.
Can't believe they can charge these prices as you can buy them on the Nike site for £42!!!!!!!
