According to the official Twitter handle of the Nigeria Football Federation, the new kits were officially launched on Sunday, September 20.
Interestingly, the new home jersey comes in traditional green and white national colours, with the white running down the middle from top to bottom.
The pitch green and white patterns hang on the shoulders just like an Agbada, a popular four-piece attire rominent among the Yoruba speaking tribe of southwestern Nigeria which Nike draws inspiration from.
