So Nigerians’ criticisms on the recently-unveiled national team home and away kit have not gone unnoticed. As a matter of fact, House of Representatives Committee on Sports are also dissatisfied with the colours and in view of that, an investigation will be carried out on why the conventional colours were not used.
Infact, accusing fingers are being pointed at giant telecommunications company, Globacom, the major corporate sponsors of the national teams.
Speaking about the issue, Chairman of the Committee, Godfrey Ali Gaiya noted that “the Green Green is not our national colour, I would have preferred the green that we know, I would have preferred the colour that is in our flag, but again, those that designed it have their reason that they have explained. I would not know whether Globacom influenced the choice of the colour of the new Super Eagles jersey, but we will look into it and whatever we find out we will let the world know,” he said.
