Nike Nigeria 1996 'Black' Remake Jacket
This mock-up shows the predicted look of the new black Nike Nigeria 1996 jacket.
The black Nike Nigeria 1996 remake track jacket will feature a sleek "Black/Lucky Green" colorway. It will have a predominantly Black base, combined with striking Lucky Green details.
In terms of design, the Nigeria 2026 1996 jacket is highly likely to be based on the iconic Nike 1996 track jacket template. This classic sportswear aesthetic is highlighted by a large, prominent horizontal stripe running right across the chest, which will house the classic Nike Swoosh and the Nigeria Football Association crest.
This upcoming release follows Nike's successful drop of the Nigeria 1996 Olympics remake collection in December 2025, which included the jacket in its original green and white colors. This new black version provides a stealthier, alternative twist on the fan-favorite classic.
