American sportswear designers, Nike and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have unveiled the new kit for the Nigerian football team, the Super Eagles.
Still basking in the accolades from the previous jersey which was adjudged the best of the tournament, Nike’s latest design is fashioned after the popular Nigerian ceremonial outfit locally called ‘Agbada’.
The NFF shared images of the new jersey on social media on Wednesday and many Nigerians seem to be loving it.

Nigeria is trending in Brazil right now because we are loving this shirt. Nike, when are you going to do one as great as Nigeria’s one?

Some others, however, believe that the Nigerian team should pay more attention to winning more matches than to the design of the jerseys.
Wack, Wacker, wackest!
Dull, Duller, Dullest!!!I wouldn't even blame the boys if they put up a losing streak while donning these jerseys.

You people will be making new jerseys but we don't stay long enough in the world cup for people to admire the jerseys.

There’s also the category of those who think the new design is not worthy of the hype.
Pls this isn't cool, just don't disgrace us,
From the best jersy in fifa world cup, to a faded looking second hand Jersey.
Are you people smoking something ?

So dull, can't @nikefootball give us something bright. The 1994 Jersey is even better.
