I'm sure a few of you guys have already seen this, but Tunisian second division side EO Sidi Bouzid have completely copied the iconic Super Eagles jersey for their new season kit. I can't believe it, and I can't understand how it can be allowed. I mean, lovely kit and all, but this is just copying...

What can be done about this? Or should be take it as flattery that they are attempting to emulate our beloved Super Eagles?

There's no 'Brotherhood' here.
This is an outright copyright infringement and theft.
Addidas and the NFF should sue them.

Isn't that a Nike issue?

Me, just like you, I see it as a compliment (flattery). That our Jersey is good enough for a professional side to want to copy.

We have moved up in the world.

Good job Nike.

peakmilk should be flogged for this..I blame him 100%

Sorry, Nike, not Addidas.

KPOM. I would think that the rights belong to Nike. Thus, that would mean it is a Nike issue. Maybe, Nike is a lso supplying kits to the club mentioned in the story.

Adidas can’t get involved.

Nike probably gave it to them. Why should we care it doesn't cut into our profits.

Blatant theft

Check the Manufacturer's logo on the jersey. It does NOT say Nike.
This is theft and Nike and Nigeria can sue them (and should)!
Understand a Turkish Div 2 club also has a similar design. Both clubs should be sued.

Those who are for us can't be against us. I'm sure they have a soft spot for Naija football. You can't hate us and be wearing same Jersey as us.

This is nothing more than the best form of flattery

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

No issues here. Let Nike lawyers sort it out. I am just proud of our jersey.
Now if only Nike can do something about our away jersey.

I don't think the NFF can sue them it's Nike's IP so it's up to them.

First of all there is no copy right infringement involved here. How many teams did you not see use the green white green jerseys before we started using after adidas ditched us. Sports Jerseys designs are one area where copy right ownership isn’t set in stone. The Brazilian national team Jersey is probably the most copied sports apparel and I don’t see them suing anyone.

unique design can't be copyrighted?

It would be nice if Nigeria won something with this Jersey
