Super Eagles World Cup Jerseys Sell Out In London
Shoppers queued outside for hours to try to get their hands on Nigeria’s new World Cup football kit in central London.
The Nigeria Football Federation says there were three million pre-orders for its replica shirts, and they’ve been selling out online.
The home and away shirts, priced at £64.95, were sold out on the Nike website soon after they were released.
Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi is among the players who modelled the kit, which was first revealed back in February, along with Leicester’s Wilfried Ndidi, who wore a branded bucket hat and jacket for the promotional photos.
The makers describe the home kit as a “subtle homage to Nigeria’s ’94 shirt, with its eagle wing-inspired black-and-white sleeve and green torso”.
The away kit, meanwhile, is a “cool, refined vision” of a classic full-green strip.
