Nigeria unveil new ‘fire’ kit with rarely-seen missing detail – but some fans think it’s an ’embarrassment’

FOOTBALL fans have heaped praise on Nigeria’s new kit… even though it is missing one key detail.

The Super Eagles’ classic black and green colours will remain one of their strips – with supporters going crazy for the latest iteration.

But in a break from convention, the other kit is white with green trim.

It is the first time in three years that Nigeria will pull on a shirt with white as the main colour.

And even more surprising is the fact that there is no badge on the jersey.

Yet despite this unique detail missing from the shirt, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.

One fan said: “This is lovely 😍.”

Another added: “The white fire 🔥.”

A third replied: “Lovely kits, hope we will win some silverware with it.”

While a fourth responded: “Wow… what a beautiful design.”

And a fifth said: “This jersey is the best in the world 🌎.”

Nigeria could debut either of their new kits when they face Ghana on Friday.

They then take on Mali on Tuesday in their first two international matches since the Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria were beaten 2-1 by Ivory Coast in the Afcon final last month as their 11-year wait for a fourth title goes on.
