OK here's the deal. For those asking or complaining about the colours, here's the explanation.

naptu2:
Women's clubs and national teams are moving to darker coloured kits (especially shorts) because of the issue of period stains, so it seems Nigeria has removed the white away jersey and green home jersey idea and replaced it with dark green home jersey and light green away jersey.

No more white.

For those wondering why Nike makes the jerseys.

Sportswear companies bid to be the official kit sponsors of national teams and clubsides. They pay the national teams and clubs for this right. If you feel you can do better, dust up your chequebook and bid for the right.

ShaqFu:
not bad. Though the dark jersey with red socks isn't it at all. Red isn't part of our national flag so I wonder what gave them that idea. Or, a country's National colour isn't always part of it's sports jersey?
Someone said that red is in our coat of arms (although Nike didn't describe the colour as red in their statement).

2023 Women’s W/Cup: Nike unveils Super Falcons jersey

April 3, 2023

With few months to the start of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, kit manufacturer Nike has unveiled the official home and away jersey of Nigeria’s Super Falcons.

The nine-time African champions are among the 32 countries that have qualified for the tournament.

The American kit manufacturing company on Monday afternoon released kits for some countries that will take part in the competition slated to hold in Australia and New Zealand.

Super Falcons finished in the 4th position of the 2022 Women’s African Cup of Nations to qualify for the tournament.

” The Nigeria National Team Collection draws from the distinctiveness of the country’s local prints and patterns. These traditional designs are blended with current styles from the fashion scene of the capital city of Abuja. In an electric green colour scheme.

The home kits feature a bespoke pattern on the cuffs and sock ribbing inspired by traditional Nigerian artwork and textiles. The forest green away kits combine modern shapes with traditional prints; the up-close details on the graphic pattern pay homage to the team’s “Super Falcons”, the statement reads.

Apart from Nigeria, other countries that have their kits released are the United States, Australia, New Zealand, France, Canada, England, Portugal, Brazil, Korea, Holland.

National teams and clubs are now switching to separate jerseys for their women's teams and they are ditching white and switching to darker colours.

In the case of Nigeria, that means no white away jersey, but instead a dark green away jersey and a light green home jersey.

JohnBullMySon:
Are you sure this is the reason? Besides football, many NCAA Women's basketball teams wear white. I've never seen of heard of period stains.

Also I don't see the green in the other TikTok jersey.
