Our Jersey
Hawaiian Football proudly unveils the new National Team Jersey, a powerful symbol of our rich heritage and a beacon of our future on the global football stage.
More than a uniform, this jersey is a statement of identity, culture, and the unity of our Islands under one Sovereign.
With each stitch, it tells the story of who we are, and where we come from, blending the historical, cultural, and athletic legacy that guides us forward.
Our Crest, Banner and Coat of Arms
Inspired by the historic Coat of Arms adopted by the Hawaiian Legislature in 1845, the National Team Crest of the Federation symbolizes providence and protection under one monarch.
Prominently within the Crest are the royal standards of ancient chiefs — the Pūlo‘ulo‘u, Puela, and Ālia — signifying the shelter and refuge of the Hawaiian monarchy.
Hanging vertically lies the Hae Hawai‘i, or Hawaiian Flag. The Union Jack honors Hawai‘i’s history as a British Protectorate before Independence was recognized by Great Britain and France in 1843.
The eight stripes represent the eight principal Islands, while the vibrant colors of the ‘ahu ‘ula and mahiole, the traditional feathered cloaks and helmets worm by chiefs, embodying the enduring strength and cultural legacy of our people.
The Pattern and Origin
Our jersey’s pattern, named Lapamua, is steeped in kaona, the hidden meaning connected to our National Team athletes.
Nā ‘Ālapa Hawai‘i is the name of our National Teams. It honors the legendary ‘Ālapa Regiment of Paramount Chief Kalani‘ōpu‘u, reknown for their bravery, physical prowess, and superior athleticism.
In today’s context, ‘Ālapa means ‘athletic,’ merging the elements of ‘Ā, meaning ’to blaze’ or ‘ignite,’ and lapa, meaning ‘energetic,’ ‘spirited,’ or ‘mischievous.’ It conjures the image of lightning cutting across the sky — fierce and unbounded — symbolizing the relentless and unstoppable nature of a dominant athlete.
Visually, the lapa or lightning, finds its place in the negative space of the design, poetically embodying the power, force, and unpredictability of lighting as it strikes, mirroring the spirit of Nā ‘Ālapa Hawai‘i — our National Teams.
Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future
As much as this Lapamua jersey honors our history and cultural roots, it stands as a testament to our future ambitions in global football. Our story is woven into the fabric, inspiring pride and unity among our players, supporters, and the greater Lāhui — the Hawaiian Nation.
We invite you to join us on this journey, sporting a jersey that carries the weight of Hawaiian culture and history while looking forward to the achievements yet to come. Let this jersey be a reminder of who we are, where we come from, and the legacy we continue to build together — through Football and Aloha.
The new Hawaiian National Team Jersey is available for order online today. Represent Hawai‘i with honor and pride as we continue to write our story on the global football stage.
