The Nationsport on Friday confirmed that Super Eagles Jersey for 2018 FIFA World Cup has officially been released for purchases
There were long queue at Nike Town when Nationsport confirmed the sales of the jersey on Friday morning.
The long queue of Nigeria football fans at the Nike Town for the purchase of the new Eagles jersey caught the attention of British Broadcasting Corporation.
A sport cum brand reporter and a camera-woman from the broadcast house were seen on ground interviewing fans on the long queue.
Though there were reports that the new white and green designed jersey will cost not less than N38, 000 but a media enquiry @Nikestore (online) to confirm the purchase price was not replied as at press time.
A call and text to Super Eagles officials on the chances of getting the Eagles jersey in Nigeria and in neighbouring countries before the June 14 date for the commencement of the World Cup was however not replied.
Meanwhile a recent international survey rated the Super Eagles’ Russia 2018 World Cup jersey as the best among the 32 nations in the tournament.
In the poll conducted by Sky Sports, the Nigeria jersey garnered over 40,000 votes to beat world champions Germany to second place with 21,000 votes.
It will be recalled that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Nike unveiled the official 2018 World Cup kits for the Super Eagles in London on February 7, 2018.
And that the national team wore the jersey in their farewell match against DR Congo in Port Harcourt.
Nike’s Football Design Director, Dan Farron has said in designing Nigeria’s kit, the goal was to tap into the attitude of the nation while keeping in mind the full identities of the Super Eagles players.
