Fans have taken to social media, praising Nigeria's newly-released kits and declaring them the best yet.
Nigerians have called on the world football governing body, FIFA, to give Nigeria the Fashion World Cup after Nike released new kits for the Super Eagles.
The newly-released jersey by kit manufacturer Nike has been greeted by huge cheers and admiration by Nigerian football fans after the news broke out on social media.
Sports merch company Nike shared pictures of the original Super Eagles' new home and away jersey, and the photos have been trending on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter).
Super Eagles jersey design by Nike released new Super Eagles Jerseys
ESPN Africa shared pictures of the jersey with a caption saying, "Nike have dropped Nigeria's new 2024 home and away kits 🇳🇬. It'll be the first time in three years that the Super Eagles use white as a main colour.
The most surprising twist in the design is the replacement of the traditional Nigerian football crest with the word 'NAIJA' emblazoned across the front of the shirt for the home jersey.
The home jersey comes in a plain white design and green tape at the edge of the sleeves and shorts, with the Nike logo planted on top of the crested "NAIJA" logo.
To complete the ensemble, Nike pairs the Nigeria 2024 home football shirt with crisp white shorts and socks, creating a sleek and unified look.
The Nigeria 2024 away kit features a striking green graphic pattern. This unique pattern sets the away jersey apart from previous designs.
FIFA should award Nigeria Fashion World Cup
Nigerian football fans, while reacting to the new kit complimented the design, and rated it the best yet in recent times.
This excitement comes after a period of anticipation fueled by leaked 'fake designs' and dashed hopes for a new kit before the Africa Cup of Nations.
