In a moment that sent ripples of excitement through the football community, American athletic giant Nike has officially unveiled the highly-anticipated 2024 home and away kits for the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The long-awaited reveal comes after much speculation and fervent anticipation among fans, culminating in a dazzling display of Nigerian pride and style.
Breaking away from tradition, the Super Eagles will don a white home kit for the first time in three years, a departure from the customary green jersey that has long symbolized Nigerian football prowess. Meanwhile, the green jersey, synonymous with Nigeria’s football heritage, will serve as the team’s away kit, adding a touch of familiarity to their international campaigns.
Amidst initial excitement surrounding the prospect of a new jersey ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament, hopes were temporarily dashed when the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) released a statement refuting rumors of a forthcoming kit release. However, Nike’s unveiling has reignited the fervor of fans and players alike, as they eagerly anticipate donning these eye-catching designs on the field.

The new home jersey boasts a striking green-white-green tape adorning the sleeves and shorts, accentuated by a faded eagle design on the front—a nod to the team’s moniker and national emblem. Notably, the absence of the Super Eagles logo on the jersey itself adds a contemporary twist, while the iconic emblem proudly adorns the shorts, ensuring the team’s identity remains intact.
Equally striking is Nike’s logo emblazoned in red—a departure from the traditional color scheme associated with the Super Eagles. This bold choice adds a vibrant pop of color to the kits, further enhancing their visual appeal and setting them apart on the global stage.
As fans eagerly await the opportunity to get their hands on these coveted jerseys, Nike’s latest creation stands as a testament to the enduring partnership between the brand and Nigerian football. With its innovative designs and unwavering commitment to quality, Nike continues to elevate the Super Eagles’ presence on the international stage, embodying the spirit of Nigerian football with each stitch and seam.
