One of the most imagination-capturing teams at the 1994 - “USA ’94” - World Cup were the Nigerian “Super Eagles”.
This style of adidas Home shirt, featuring the patterning that was synonymous with both Nigeria’s campaign at the mundial and their African Cup of Nations win earlier in the year, was worn in the close defeats to much-more-fancied Argentina and Italy.
Despite the disappointment of a second-round exit, the Super Eagles’ displays boosted the profile of African football on the world stage and their kit brings back thrilling memories of an era that also included a football tournament gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
