You just they twist your words dey go. I just dey look you. Do you know how many jerseys we used in the 1990 to 95 era? If you are referring to the 1994 Jersey just stick to it. If it the 1992 or 95 jersey, just stick to it.

After all I dey my own dey think about our next Flying Eagles, na you come say make come talk about Jersey.

I was not so eager to see the new Jerseys in the first place.

darkelf:


Who Sir?

Our dear Super Eagles Jersey!

Icon4s:


Hahaha dey there. In 2006 AFCON Ghana was forced by CAF to change their jerseys in their last group game, I have forgotten the opponent. Their two Jersey options clashed with both options of their opponents who were the home team in the fixture. They had to quickly organize an all black Jersey for that game.

The Jerseys are beautiful to the eyes. I only have issues with (1) the shades of green and (2) fact that the two options are both green. I hope we will not be forced to look for another Jersey to play an opponent just like the Ghana case. That is what I mean by FIFA not approving.

profosa:
please guys note that some of the shades of colour may have been chosen because of the weather condition in russia.different shades of colour retain heat differently.

TheSuperNerd:
I twisted nothing.... That '95 friendly was executed by a good number of the '94 Eagles too. We all use '94 to reference the golden generation but everyone knows that in my own analysis I always say it extends from 1990-early 2000s. '94 is just the ref point of that first golden generation. Finito.

'96 too is there... But I refer to a period I saw a similar jersey used. That '94 eagles team that also played that Wembley friendly.

I maintain that some elements of the '94 white jersey (the exact color intensities) and some elements of the '95 Wembley Friendly jersey (the sleeve's wavy design with black and then some) were picked and merged alongside other elements to create this beautiful white/light green combo..... A true re-invented throwback to the first golden generation especially to the period between '94 and '95. Tu comprends?

And you and this Flying Eagles team sef.... You never tell us if na you NFF give the job to sef ahead of 2019....

Mujtahida:
Yeessssss we are number one!!! Cloth dey fit Iwobi sha.

1. Nigeria

Wow(Image: Nike)
And while you're there, pick up this frankly glorious effort from Nigeria that comes out as a deserving No. 1.

It's incredible, frankly, ,and is bound to turn us all into Super Eagles in the summer.

Don’t worry, the World Cup trophy is coming to Abuja in July. Our boys will do it.

TheSuperNerd:



That is the part that caught my attention most in the rankings statement for Nigeria's "Glorious" jersey.

Even they wanna become Super Eagles.... Awwwwwwwnnn.....

Another dimension to look at it.

But you know the WC would be played in summer. Though the Russian summer may not be as warm as some other parts of Europe but it is not likely to be too cold all the same.

So to the physics of the colours now: Darker colours absorb heat while lighter colours reflect heat or have lesser tendencies to absorb heat.

The heat we are talking about here doesn't just mean high temperature (or hot weather). It is talking about the general atmospheric temperature (weather hot or cold)

What it literarily means is that Dark colored cloths would easily absorb the surrounding temperatures be it hot or cold. So going by this principle that dark green jersey would absorb a lot of the Russian temperature which even though it would be summer but would still be cooler than most other parts of Europe. Which will definitely be a disadvantage to us.

TheSuperNerd, I know you are science inclined. What do you have to say about this?

Mujtahida:

Must it be us that FIFA would direct to look for another Jersey? So the opponent say Mexico cannot be directed to look for another Jersey. It must be us. I'm just asking sha

TheSuperNerd:
I believe the one on Mikel is the home kit.

Mujtahida:

I no be science guy ooo but I don't agree with this. Shey Nike would not put what is so manifestly clear to you into consideration when I'm sure it's not just one person that designed the Jersies but a whole team of experts.

In a fixture: Team A vs Team B. Team A assumes the position of the home team while Team B is the away team. Team A has the advantage of choosing jerseys first of which they always chose their home Jersey And Team B would now have to chose their away jersey.

Though Mexico are not in this WC. But if we are to play a Team that the Home Jersey is either Green on green or Green on white and they assume the home team position what do we do?
Since both our home and away jerseys (tops in particular) are green. We will have to look for something else to wear. It happened to Ghana at the 2006 AFCON.

FIFA cannot allow two teams to wear the same colour and play on the same pitch even if they are of different shades.

komekn:


I am watching the game against Schalke he is on the bench.

So you think he is better than Origi And that Wolfsburg are being unfair to him One game doesn't make a player, it's consistent continous top class performances that get you noticed.

When watching the game do not look at your player alone but in comparison to other players to measure his performance. That's called having a balanced objective view some here call that being biased against our players.

That's the away kit

Danielnino00:




Actually, Mexico qualified for the WC...


I get ur point though... Using d same colour for the home and away jersey is d problem here....

TheSuperNerd:
Then that is definitely a blast away from the norm.

Mujtahida:

But how do countries whom we know wear almost one color type cope. Countries like Spain(red) , Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Japan.

TheSuperNerd:


The one on Iwobi really caught my attention. I like it. Now check out this one on Mikel... Gosh!

TheGoodJoe:


Wow. The dark green Jersey looks terrific on Mikel. By the way, Mikel Obi looks fit. It seems he is working very hard for the World Cup. Thumbs up to the Odogwu of the Super Eagles, leading by example.

TheSuperNerd:
I don quote profosa already naa.....


I think it would not be a huge problem for us but just a challenge we must manage and overcome strategically. We will be dealing with the cold weather/climate as we are coming from a Warmer climate as a nation but of course most of our euro-based players have seen the cold of Europe during winter in England, Belgium, Turkey, etc and a few more have seen that of Russia which is far more unique (Idowu and Musa).

Our deep/dark green Jersey coupled with the material underneath will see our players retain heat more than lose heat during match day actions.

As for our light green/white combo, being of colors that do not absorb heat, well, I hope the material has a kind of heat retaining mechanism underneath it to aid our players too. I hope the NFF worked out the details on this one before release... Or if they haven't, well they still got time now. They should get it done.

I wonder what nations wearing white are gonna do... Thought about that? I think this heat-retention mechanism will be employed technologically by most teams with brighter jersey colors anyway. Nothing new.

tbaba1234:
Both Jerseys look really nice. I need to look up the prices.

Danielnino00:




The above countries don't wear one colour type na...
Spain for instance wear red home kit and white with some touch of red away kit..
our traditional white kit always has a touch of green too..


I agree with Icon4s .... The Jersey design is cool,but the colours aren't..
The green should have been our home kit and the other one should be more white....
