Nike Nigeria 1996 Reissue Shirt

Court Green/White/Black

Rep the Super Eagles in retro style with the Nike Nigeria 1996 Reissue Shirt in Court Green/White/Black, a modern remake of the iconic 1996 Nigeria home shirt.

Based on the kits worn by national heroes Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West, Sunday Oliseh, and Victor Ikpeba, the Nigeria re-issue shirt takes you back to the golden age of Nigerian football. Having lifted the 1994 African Cup of Nations and the 1995 Afro-Asian Cup of Nations in consecutive years, a squad of then-largely unknown young players travelled to America for the 1996 Olympics and would go on to write their names in the history books. First, they felled Japan and Hungary in the group stage and Mexico in the quarter-finals, before shocking the world with a thrilling 4-3 victory over a Brazil side that featured future global superstars Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Bebeto, Juninho and Aldair. The test would be no easier against Argentina in the final, facing off against Javier Zanetti, Hernan Crespo and Diego Simeone, but Nigeria spectacularly put three goals past La Albiceleste to claim the nation’s first-ever Olympic football gold medal and one of only two golds won at the entire 1996 games. The ultra-lightweight, flexible weave provides full freedom of movement and keeps you quick on your feet, so you can dribble past defenders, make last-ditch game-winning tackles and relentlessly pound up and down the touchline for 90 minutes with ease. High-performance Dri-FIT fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, so you stay cool, dry and comfortable in any situation, whether you’re pushing past your limits in a competitive game or cheering your country on from the stands.
