FAQs

What makes this shirt a 'reissue'?

This is a modern remake of the original Nike Nigeria home shirt worn during the 1996 Olympic Games, designed with contemporary performance fabrics while maintaining the authentic visual style.

Is this shirt suitable for playing professional football?

While made with performance fabric for comfort and movement, it is primarily a retro-inspired lifestyle and collector's item. For intense professional play, a dedicated performance jersey might be more suitable.

What does the Dri-FIT technology do?

Dri-FIT is Nike's signature moisture-wicking technology. It pulls sweat away from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Who were the key players associated with this 1996 shirt?

This shirt is linked to legendary Nigerian players of that era, including JayJay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West, Sunday Oliseh, and Victor Ikpeba, who achieved Olympic glory.

What is the material of the shirt?

The shirt is made from 100% polyester.

How do I find other sizes if XL is not suitable?

Please check the 'variant_siblings' section in the product information for available sizes such as L, M, and S, each with its own product listing.

Can I iron the shirt?

It is not recommended to iron the graphics on the shirt. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed logos or text.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels stiff or uncomfortable

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, initial washes can soften the fabric. If stiffness persists, check for any care label alterations.

Dri-FIT technology not performing (feeling damp)

Make sure to use mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the fabric's moisture-wicking capabilities. Wash with like colors to prevent dye transfer.

Print or crest fading

Avoid high heat drying and direct ironing on the printed areas. Gentle washing and air drying or low tumble drying are recommended for longevity of the graphics.
