Sportswear makers, Nike has released new jerseys for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The jersey has Nigeria’s two colours – green and white and has the eagle which is the symbol of the strength on the coat of arms and also is the nickname of the senior national team.
The jersey- home and away is white with green neckband and all green with eagle designs on it and green shorts.
While the Super Eagles will not be at the World Cup, the jerseys are set to gain a global attention as expected, with some designs that may raise eyebrows.
Recall that the Nigerian jersey had the highest following and sales at the 2018 World Cup when the Super Eagles wore it in Russia. The home jersey of green and white is still considered one of the Super Eagles’ best jerseys of all time.
The new kit has not exactly been welcomed with open hands. To some it is a great job from Nike, but to others the America-based kit manufacturers could do better.
Also, some fans complained that despite that the beautiful jersey, Nigeria would still not be at the World Cup.
