REGAL EAGLES

Nigeria may lack Croatia's heraldic history, but the Super Eagles are every bit as committed to making a statement. In its maiden World Cup, U.S.A. '94, Nigeria made the second round wearing eye-catching kits that had unique markings reminiscent of traditional tribal patterns. This summer's unis, too, are an homage, an electric zig-zag pattern that'll stand out in a bland sea of all-white and all-red. Personality goes a long way.
