Re: Fate of the Dark Nike Jersey...

[Gadfly]

Damunk,

Why not raise a petition for us fans to sign and submit to Nike/NFF requesting a third jersey, perhaps red in honor of Red Devils, our original name, before changing to Green Eagles?

Some countries have a third jersey. I have never seen Nigeria with one.

We have the white Jersey bro; our home green jersey has a white version of it, that makes #3

Yes, I’m back!
This time, with a slightly broader perspective.

I’ve got my young nephew who isn’t really a footie fan to compile all the results of all games involving teams wearing either green or white jerseys at AFCON 24. It doesn’t matter the team. It’s just the results I am after.

Of course, the competition is still on, but he’s waiting for the Qfinals to commence tomorrow. And anyway, this is for discussion when all the football is over. Not for now. And I need to check his data for accuracy.

But any of you can take a random look at results of white-clad teams and green-clad teams. There have been 37 games involving at least one team wearing either green or white so far and I am shocked at the actual stats.

It’s a discussion for another day like I said and I am looking forward to finishing the raw data collection.

Let me remind the lazy brains that this is NOT about superstition or ‘jinxes’. I am not interested in all that.
It’s not even about Nigeria or the Nike jersey any more. It’s about black players playing in green jerseys on green grass.
I am only interested in the data and its analysis.

One interesting nugget to chew on:
So far, the only team to win a match wearing green jerseys is:
Nigeria. (beating Cameroon, coincidentally wearing white)

Go check. [all stats still to be ratified]

PS. Scipio, I know you’re keen on scrutinizing this matter with a very critical eye.
I can’t wait.

So the penalty was wrongly awarded because we wore the green jersey even the VAR eyes who called the Ref to come and take a look were clouded by the green colors

Key point. It should not be something as silly as superstition, except in case where there is probable psychological impact on participants (e.g. Players being impacted by own beliefs about the colors). Instead, I think colors may impact refereeing decisions and may also impact visualization and quick decision making by team mates. There are other possibilities that may impact results, no matter how minute the impact may seem.

Thank you Prof.
This is the way to go.
Let’s get the data first.
If it is felt that they show statistically significant differences, we can then begin to look at possible causes.
For now, I just need to get the data collated.
It might even encourage us to widen the study even further.

I am also keen on eliminating any confirmation bias by all means possible.
