Super Eagles new jerseys PHOTO: Nike
Global sportswear giant Nike has officially released the new home and away jerseys for Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles.
The unveiling, announced on the team’s X handle on Monday, comes as fans continue to process the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The home kit features a vibrant light green base with darker green panels and a subtle dotted fade pattern, accented by the Nigeria Football Federation crest and Nike swoosh.
“This kit continues their tradition of street-ready designs that make a statement far beyond the field,” the product description of the kit reads on Nike’s website.
The away kit boasts a clean white base adorned with dynamic green flame motifs rising from the lower body across the front, back, and sleeves.
It is complemented by a dark green shallow V-neck collar and black-trimmed cuffs.
Nike said both designs emphasise performance fabric with Dri-FIT technology and incorporate sustainable materials.
The jerseys are pegged at 109.99 pounds, while the kids’ version is priced at 84.99 pounds.
The launch comes at a time when Super Eagles are preparing for a four-team friendly tournament with Jordan, Iran and Costa Rica.
Despite a talented squad featuring stars like Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, the Super Eagles missed out on the expanded 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada after a dramatic penalty shootout defeat to DR Congo in the CAF playoff final.
Nigeria finished as runners-up in their qualifying group but could not secure one of the African berths. (The PUNCH)
