The Nigerian football team will take to the pitch this week in their new Nike Football home and away kits featuring Dri-FIT technology, this is according to a statement released moments ago by the NFF.

According to the statement, the home kit is a solid green, with white ribbing around the back of the modern crew-neck collar.

In keeping true to the national colours of Nigeria, the new away kit is white with a green stripe that runs the length of the sides of shirt and shorts, and a green stripe along the back of the collar.

Nike Dri-FIT technology draws sweat away from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts, where it quickly evaporates.  This allows players to perform at their best by remaining cooler, drier and more comfortable.

The laser-cut ventilation holes and mesh panels in the key areas of the kit are designed to improve performance by increasing air circulation and helping regulate players’ temperatures.

The shirt is crafted using mesh fabric that makes up the full front and back panels of the shirt, increasing airflow and facilitating enhanced movement.

Below are images of the new home and away kits:

The first national team to wear the new kit is the Dream Team VI in their 1st game against Japan on August 5 at the 2016 Rio Olympics football event.
