Got my kit. Not Nigerian, but as a kit collector this is something I'll be able to pass down to my son when he's of age.

Oh and just for the ones that don't know. Here is the guy who created the kit.



NIGERIA WORLD CUP 2018 - Matthew Wolff

NIGERIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION
I was primarily responsible for designing all on-pitch apparel (full home and away kits, pre-match top and training pieces) but would like to give major shoutouts to the entire Nike Global Football team — in particular, the Operation Naija squad: Dan Farron, Rebecca Aleman, and Michael Vorel.

NIGERIA: HOME KIT
[From Official Nike Release] Alex Iwobi put it best: “They’re gonna know Nigeria have arrived.” A tribute to their 1994 debut on the world stage, the 2018 home kit features the traditional green torso, with the Super Eagles-inspired black-and-white sleeves. To modernize the jersey, the feather pattern has been abstracted, and the colors updated, for a bold look on-pitch. Turned into an international phenomenon by artists, Wizkid, Skepta and Not3s, the 2018 Nigeria Home Kit was iconic before it even took the pitch.

NIGERIA: AWAY KIT
[From Official Nike Release] Taken from the first flag of an independent Nigeria, the color green is a long-standing symbol of the nation. While it has typically been used on the home strips, the 2018 season sees the traditional color applied to the away kit. A new badge features a resurrection of the design worn by the gold medal-winning “Dream Team” of 1996, in a single, brighter green for a clean aesthetic.

I really want that track jacket

I bit the bullet and paid 200+ for a jersey.


the story, I called niketown on Thursday to see if htey would have them. Liar said they would and would be available at 10am. So I do that. I go down there around 10am, walk into the store bopping. (its 30 mins from me)

I ask the cashier where they are, and she said they don't sell the jerseys at the store and everyone been calling all morning about it. I was so mad.
