After Nike unveiled the Super Eagles’ new jerseys, some Ghanaians have taken to social media to mock Nigerians.
Some have sarcastically questioned Nike’s decision to design a new kit for Nigeria, who will not compete in the World Cup.
Nigerians themselves have been divided regarding the design as some are pleased while others opined that it’s below-par.
Nike released the jersey on Thursday, September 15, 2022, along with other sponsored national teams ahead of the World Cup.
Nigeria could debut the new outfits during the upcoming September international break. The Super Eagles will face Algeria and Portugal.
France, Portugal, Qatar, Canada, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Poland, Brazil, England, and South Korea have all had their World Cup jerseys designed by Nike announced.
Check the reactions below
Since Naija would be sitting at home during the World Cup, they needed just the home jersey.. Why did Nike add the “Away” one? What’s the point?

When you think about it, this design actually makes sense.
I mean, Nigeria isn’t going to the World Cup. So the design has to be something they can wear to social events. Church service, family meetings, semi-formal meetings.
Smart thinking from Nike. https://t.co/EdcFAqAdk8— Victor Atsu Tamakloe ???????? (@AtsuTamakloe) September 15, 2022

Nike should have helped them fixed their electricity problem rather than introducing a new jersey which is of no use????????????????

Nike, you have failed this country!! Is it because we missed out on the World Cup? ????

Nigeria’s new home kit d¤esn’t look good, truth be told the old jersey was better cos this overly garish design in the home kit ¤verpowered the Nigerian vibes embedded in the kit; But the away kit looks stunning due to the black pattern on the sleeves. It reps Nigeria perfectly.
