The Nigerian National Team Jersey

[1naija]

What exactly is the reason for changing the Nigerian Jersey every year? Why can't be keep one jersey like Brazil or Italy or Germany or France. Whenever any of these teams play, there is no doubt about their identity. Anytime Brazil steps on the pitch, you can expet to see the yellow jersey. But you will be dizzy following the Nigerian jersey from year to year..

Uncle, anytime Brazil, Italy, Germany, or France enter field everybody knows who they are. When Naija enter field, you won't know unless someone tells you its Nigeria. No identity.

The reason? Money.

Nike can sell more jerseys if they change them every year. If they don’t change them, fans won’t see the need to replace the jersey they bought last year. One can possibly stop Nike from doing this via language in the sponsorship contract but I doubt the NFF cares

I have said many times that Nigeria could have an instantly recognizable jersey, like Croatia or Argentina.

Make it a plain white jersey with a green stripe in the middle for home and a green jersey with a white stripe in the middle for away(something similar to the Atlanta 96 jersey).

We can make snazzy designs from time to time, but the basic design must stay the same. For example the green chevrons from WC 2018 can stay strictly inside the middle green stripe. We can put snazzy designs around the collar etc.

If the business model works and Nigeria sell a good amount of shirts Nike will keep it up and to be fair Adidas didn’t care how Nigeria’s shirts looked and I remember fans complained so at least Nike are paying attention to that side of affairs!

The real issue, the big elephant in the room not being discussed, is simply the nature of contracts signed with a federation and the ecosystem involved in marketing and distributing of each federation's jerseys for all teams - youth/women/men. Is the sponsor able to recoup sunk costs? Are the people negotiating on behalf of the Federation savvy about their worth? Are the people negotiating on behalf of the Federation knowledgeable of the off-field revenue generating potential of their teams? In the case of Nigeria, those "agents" masquerading as administrators only understanding of the football sphere is simply getting govt allocation. TV revenue? Stadium branding? Corporate co-sponsorship of teams?. The list goes on. What incentive is in place for them to go out of their normal BS?

England. £400m over 12 yrs.

No one want to publicly tell us with a straight face what the "improved" offer is.

You can never expect Nigeria with its lack of understanding of a professional environment to have made a competent decision concerning the NFF.

Spent over $600 on the merch...don't mind the changes

KPOM. In this age, not to change the design even if it is slight makes no sense. Changing it ensures continual revenue stream.

When did Brazil change their yellow Jersey? When did Argentina change their white and lite blue stripe Jersey? What is the Nigerian jesey? Is it the 1994 jersey, the 1998 jersey, the 2002 jersey, the myriads of colors we've worn over the years between then and now, or the 2018 jersey, or this new agbada jersey we are wearing now? Changing the logo design or changing from V neck to crew neck is not true change. Please post the change to the Brazilian or Argentina jersey you are talking about.

1naija,

Although Brazil predominantly uses the yellow shirts, the reality is that Brazil also has used and still uses green, blue, and white shirts from time to time but not as often as the yellow. Then even the yellow features some design changes.

Even Argentina varies its sky-blue stripes periodically and goes also to all dark blue shirts and predominantly white shirts at times.

The point is that most national teams make changes to their uniforms to accommodate marketing needs. Though, I do agree that Nigeria's changes may be more radical than some countries but make no mistake most countries make changes to their uniforms to accommodate marketing dictates.

EII, you are missing my point. That brazil or Argentina sometimes use different color Jersey does not me they completely abandoned their signature yellow or blue/white stripe Jersey. There is difference between wearing a different colored away jersey and changing the national team Jersey. What's the signature Nigerian jersey?

Brazil, Argentina and the rest of South America more or less keep it the same. European countries experiment a lot.

Yet some citizens think the jersey is not worthy.
