Nike unveils new jerseys for Nigeria national teams

NFF kits partner, Nike, has released new football jerseys for the Male and Female Nigeria national teams.

The sportswear giants broke the internet when they released Nigeria’s jerseys for the 2018 world cup.

In a statement released the sportswear giants, the new designs were inspired by Nigerian designers.

In 2018, Naija changed the game with a collection for the ages that set a new standard for how Nike approaches federation design.

In 2020, Nigeria picks up right where they left off with a home kit that fuses the traditional aesthetic of an agbada robe with modern football design.

The kit’s pattern was hand drawn and is highly symbolic of Nigerian heritage with nods to nobility and family.

Nigeria’s crest is placed centrally on the chest with a Swoosh underneath it.

The player names and numbers integrate the eagle feather into the application. “Naija” appears inside the neck of jersey and on the back of the socks in a new typeface.

The away kit is inspired by Onaism, a traditional artistic movement central to Nigerian design and craft represented in the trim details.

An eagle feather aesthetic, creatively distorted, continuously repeats in ascending size to create a visual impact.

The collar has a slight V overlap with a thicker overlap in the back. Both the collar and the sleeves feature a slight nick at the mid-point.

The broader Naija collection will feature an extensive array of Super Eagles apparel including a poncho, vest, dress and more.
