Akofena (“Sword of war”) on a lightweight garment-dyed hoodie with the symbol's name printed on the back. Made to order for you.

Akofena — "sword of war." In the Akan visual language of Adinkra, Akofena represents courage, valor, and legitimate authority — the crossed swords once carried in state ceremonies as a symbol of a leader's strength and the readiness to defend what matters.

This hoodie is printed in cream ink on soft, garment-dyed black fleece, with "AKOFENA" lettered across the back in a matching cream serif. Lightweight and easy to layer, it's an everyday staple with cultural meaning woven in.

Part of the Sankofa House Adinkra Collection — apparel rooted in West African symbolism, made for everyday wear.
