"In 2018, Naija changed the game with a collection for the ages that set a new standard for how Nike approaches federation design," read a Nike statement.

"In 2020, Nigeria picks up right where they left off with a home kit that fuses the traditional aesthetic of an agbada robe with modern football design."

An agbada is a wide-sleeved garment worn mostly within West African countries, which is extremely popular in Nigeria.

"The kit's pattern was hand-drawn and is highly symbolic of Nigerian heritage with nods to nobility and family. Nigeria's crest is placed centrally on the chest with a Swoosh underneath it.

"The player names and numbers integrate the eagle feather into the application. 'Naija' appears inside the neck of jersey and on the back of the socks in a new typeface."
