The jersey- home and away is white with green neckband and all green with eagle designs on it and green shorts.
While the Super Eagles will not be at the World Cup, the jerseys are set to gain a global attention as expected, with some designs that may raise eyebrows.
A semblance of the local Adire designs common to the Western region of the Country, and it carries the Nigeria Football Federation emblem on the left and the Nike logo on the right breasts respectively.
However the shorts maintain the typical block green and light shade green strip on the side.
