The world fell in love with the Nigerian World Cup kit the minute it was released. In fact, the kit sold out minutes after being released by Niketown London.

The much-publicized kit featured printed jerseys, floral as well as plain tracksuits, complete with a bucket hat - all having hues of green to represent Nigerian colors. Top Nigerian artistes and influencers were quick to cop themselves the kit and style it the best way they know how.

Unfortunately, Nike announced that they have no plans to restock the kit, albeit, the dealers in counterfeit products have been working day and night to make sure that the knock off jerseys are available to you in due time.

Twitter went wild, with some loving the outfits…

Either way, the team has won the hearts of the world with their style and we wish them the best.
