Nike Super Eagles jerseys

Since the NFF and Nike partnership in 2015,  three different jerseys have been used so far.

 

NFF and Nike first launched one for the Flying Eagles in May 2015 and another for the Nigeria U-23 team ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games which was made available for the Super Eagles for their 3-1 win over Algeria in a FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November 2016.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria however used a new jersey for their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Algeria on Friday, November 10 and the friendly game against Argentina on Tuesday, November 14.

It was to the surprise of many that the Super Eagles were in a new strip different from the one they had used in the last 12 months.

 

The new kit is green, the national colours as usual but this time with a touch of greenish grey on both arms, sides and the neck.

The Nike logo is on the right chest area while the NFF badge is on the left.

The NFF didn't make any statement on the new kit and have remained quiet on it.

Although very likely, it's still unknown if the new kit will be the 2018 FIFA World Cup jersey of the Super Eagles.
