Initial concepts explore all-over graphics, tonal stripes and map outlines. Further rounds develop the pattern scale and style alongside collar, sleeve and panel detailing.

The final shirt combines layered green tones with a modern traditional pattern, that follows a zig zag structure. Black panels and patterned trims ensure the Nigerian flair shines through, while white branding and numbering provide contrast.

The windbreaker carries the collection into everyday wear. The identity is embedded in the hood which resembles the national flag, while the tonal 'Super Eagles' graphic adds dynamism to the back, with wings spanning the jacket's arms.
