The Namibia Sports Commission (NSC) has given all shops selling tracksuits with the national emblem until 31 January to sell their stock.
The NSC made the move in an attempt to control the production of clothes with the national colours and emblems.
The move is expected to generate profit for the NSC whenever such tracksuits and jerseys are sold.
“We have observed that many shops are selling these tracksuits or products that have the national emblem to anyone in the street without even having the right logo at times.
“That is why we have decided to produce new tracksuits that will be regulated by the NSC.
“In 2003 when I was doing sports, we could not just wear national colour tracksuits without getting permission from the relevant authorities,” NSC chief administrator Freddy Mwiya said.

The NSC announced that the only companies allowed to produce or sell national colour jerseys after 31 March will be those that have been granted a contract to do so.
This means that companies that continue to produce or sell national colour jerseys without authorisation will have to face the law.
“It is important to regulate the production of national colours in order for us to make money from it,” Mwiya reiterated.
The NSC’s decision was based on the fact that the current supply of national colours is not in line with the provisions of the Namibian Sport Act.
The NSC also released a statement in which it thanked suppliers as they prepare for the new system.
“The purpose of this communique is to enable potential suppliers mapping out their supply strategies in advance ahead of the formal bidding process for the service of 2021-2023.
“We would like to express our gratitude to all current suppliers for being prompt and offering satisfactory delivery over the time we worked together,” the statement reads.
Otb sport and Exco sports are among the current suppliers of the Namibia Sports Commission.
