Nike receive over three million orders for Nigeria's World Cup shirt despite it not being released until next week
Demand for Nigeria's World Cup 2018 kit has dramatically increased Orders are said to have gone over 3,000,000 ahead of the kit going on sale The home and away kit were unveiled at a launch earlier this year in February The Super Eagles' kit is meant to pay homage to their USA 1994 campaign 
Nike have received over 3,000,000 orders for Nigeria's World Cup 2018 shirt despite the jersey not being officially on sale until next week.
Demand for the country's home and away kit increased following its unveiling at a launch in February. 

The kit isn't available to buy for another six days but that hasn't stopped fans wanting to place their order in advance. 
The Super Eagles' new home and away kit is meant to pay homage to their USA 1994 campaign.

The home shirt features a bright green-and-white zig-zag pattern spreading across the torso and the contrasting sleeves.

Nigeria's away shirt for the Russia World Cup is more understated and closer in resemblance to their more recent shirts with an all-over dark green design.

The kit manufacturers Nike said they wanted to 'tap into the attitude of the nation' with the design and aimed to build the kit based on the identities of the players.

Nike's Nigeria shirts are part of a collection which features Fast Fit Vapotknit technology to aide the athlete's performance.


Nigeria's 2018 kit pays homage to the shirt worn at USA 1994 - the west African nation's debut on the World Cup stage.

The shirts were launched with the help of Premier League trio Wilfied Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho as well as ex-Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel.

'I grew up in England, but Nigeria is my homeland,' Arsenal star Iwobi told Nike's official website. 

'When I scored that goal, the players were dancing, the fans were playing trumpets and bringing drums... there was just so much passion and energy.

'It is always an honour to wear the white and green. To compete this summer is not just our dream, it is also the dream of our fans.

'When I scored that goal, the players were dancing, the fans were playing trumpets and bringing drums... there was just so much passion and energy.

'It is always an honour to wear the white and green. To compete this summer is not just our dream, it is also the dream of our fans. Together, we all represent Naija.' 

Leicester midfielder Wilfried Ndidi will be one of Nigeria's key players at the 2018 World Cup

The shirt is founded on the concept of 'Naija' - which means future-focused optimism and encourages the new generation of Nigerians to celebrate their country's rich history and culture.

Nigeria have been drawn into Group D at the 2018 World Cup in Russia alongside Argentina, Croatia and Iceland.

The Super Eagles have never advanced past the round of 16 at the World Cup having reached the knockout stages three times in their history - in 1994, 1998 and 2014.

Iwobi scored the only goal of the game against Zambia in October as Nigeria became the first African nation to book their place in Russia.

The Super Eagles are joined by Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Egypt in flying the flag for Africa at the 2018 World Cup.

The things wey them don they produce for Aba since second day the picture surfaced online. I still saw someone rocking the Jersey yesterday.
Only about ten percent of the upper middle class and upper class would buy from Nike and they are not more than 10 millions.
Most of the orders would come from Nigerians in Diaspora.

I learnt it's going to cost almost $100 (almost #36k) grin grin

I always thought the number of stars on a jersey adds to its value.

Let's see what comes of it.

this is the problem with nigeria. they will go out there and throway the money. when e reach for spend am for nigerians dem go say fund no day. what stops our government from giving our boys in Aba the contract to make the Tshirts? them just throway 3m for nothing. Aba boys would have done it for half the price and do a better quality. how can you waste 3 million on tshirts when the country is just pulling out of recession. no be say the boy go finally carry the world cup come. in the end how this one take benefit our economy? doctors are on strike and teachers are not paid. the 3 million is used to keep up with the high minimum of people out there. and guess what. the goods will still be made in vietnam, bangladesh or china at a very cheap price. then sold at 3 million. if the tshirt of 22 players go for 3 million then how much will they spend on their boots? accommodation, tfare etc
