Nike Nigeria 1996 Reissue Track Jacket
Style Code: II6993-310
The jacket that arrived with the kit. The Nike Nigeria 1996 Reissue Track Jacket returns the warmup layer that completed one of football's most celebrated tournament looks — the garment that the Super Eagles wore from the tunnel to the touchline in Atlanta, carrying the same diagonal stripe energy as the match shirt into the pre-game ritual that the world was already watching before a ball had been kicked. The jersey changed the conversation. The track jacket was there for all of it.
The reissue returns every detail that made the original a piece of football design history — the bold diagonal stripe running from shoulder to hip in the deep forest green and white that became synonymous with the Super Eagles' Atlanta campaign, the black accents that give the jacket its graphic edge and connect it to the broader visual identity that Nigeria wore through the tournament. The classic Nike template of the mid-nineties rendered in the track jacket construction of the era — snap buttons running the full length of the front, ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem in the fitted style that defined tournament warmup wear before performance fabrics changed the standard entirely. The Nigeria crest sits at the chest exactly as it did in 1996, the same position it occupied when the Super Eagles walked out into the Georgia heat and prepared to play football that matched their kit in ambition.
To wear the 1996 Nigeria Reissue Track Jacket is to wear the warmup layer of a moment — the garment that existed in the space between the locker room and the legend, between the preparation and the performance that confirmed everything the kit had already promised. The jersey told the world who Nigeria was. The track jacket is what they wore on the way to proving it.
