The kits which feature the traditional Nigerian green and white colours have made a huge impression with fans taking kindly to the snazzy and vibrant design.
According to Nike, the home kit features a hand drawn design which fuses the traditional aesthetic of an agbada robe with modern football design. The home kit also features the crest of the National Football Federation placed centrally at the chest area, the Nike logo under the crest, and jersey number beneath the logo.
The shorts are solid green shorts while the socks have the green, white and lemon colours.
The away jersey is more understated with its simple deep green design and matching patterns on the trim of the V-neck and the sleeves.
