Nigeria have rejected the kit currently being marketed worldwide as their 2010 World Cup jerseys, saying a new design had yet to be signed off with kit makers adidas.

The 'new' kit has been on sale in stores worldwide, and was even on display at the 2010 World Cup Draws in South Africa, but NFF's Head of Marketing, Idris Adama, told KickOffNigeria.com that the NFF had yet to see the jerseys that have been on sale.

"We have not finalised anything about our new jerseys," Adama said. "We are looking at some designs with adidas, but we havent signed off on anything yet."

Adama added that the NFF were looking to come to a final decision before the African Nations Cup but did not say when the new kit would be ready.

The current kit (pictured) has angered many Nigerians, who have described it as a generic, off-the-shelf offering with little creative design.

It has led to an online petition against the German kit makers at www.ipetitions.com/petition/newjersey with a demand for a more befitting design ahead of the Nations Cup and World Cup

Finally! Some good news.

We had a fancy kit in France 98,,, where did it take us.

It is not the kit that makes the team,it is the creativity and gameplay displayed on field. Our success at the world cup can make the SE a brand to chase after, but sadly (as usual) we are always focusing on really strange stuff,  like when we hide our team training so that spies from other teams cannot know our strategy. only to fall like a truck-load of Maluuus, when we enter the field of play,  We should stop pre-empting failure at this early stage. Because I know Festus Onigbinde and Amodu will claim that poor branding was responsible for our failure at South Africa 2010

i like the rejection of the jersey cuz is time we stand boldly on what on what need or don't need.
