What makes this shirt a 'reissue'?

This shirt is a modern remake of the specific Nigeria home shirt worn during the 1996 Olympics, aiming to capture the original design and spirit.

Is this shirt suitable for playing football competitively?

Troubleshooting

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart if available. The fabric is designed for flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort.

DriFIT fabric not wicking moisture effectively
