The Paris Olympic kits for Team Nigeria, which are among the best-designed in recent times, were formally unveiled by US-based sports clothing brand Actively Black.
The rapidly growing sportswear firm stated on its Instagram page in April that it was working with the Nigerian Olympic Committee, citing this as a significant milestone for the black-owned, diaspora-owned brand.
In order to enhance the athletes’ comfort throughout the Games, Actively Black subtly incorporated black into the Nigerian colors of green and white to create a dynamic urban vibe.
