Football stakeholders within and outside the shores of the country have applauded Nigeria National League (NNL) side Ekiti United over the released of their new jerseys for 2022/23 league season.
The Owu jerseys were unveiled by the State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji who was represented by the Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development, Hon. Akintunde Oyebode in a grand breaking ceremony at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti last week.

The short and sock is yellow, completely rounding off the look.
The away kit have a striking combination of red and white, with the short and sock in red.
