United States Sportswear giants Nike are set to unveil new kits for the Nigeria’s national teams in November.

okayafrica.com reports that Nike will be introducing the new kits which will be used by all the national teams -male and female.

In partnership with Okayafrica, Nike will be unveiling the new designs of those kits in a heavily done digital activation with a curated list of 100 of Nigeria’s biggest cultural influencers from fashion designers and comedians to athletes and entrepreneurs.

“Each of these icons will receive the new jersey including other exciting items. Alongside the roll-out, Okayafrica is partnering with Nike and members of the Nigerian national football team—including John Mikel Obi, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho—to bring you “Africa in Your Earbuds 75,” the latest installment of our popular mixtape series featuring new music from the continent,” the website stated.

The new kit is part of Nike’s responsibilities in accordance with a deal the sportswear company signed with the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF in April 2015 in London.

Nike, who are the official kit sponsors of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) last unveiled a jersey for the Dream Team VI which they use for the 2016 Olympic Games.
