Russia 2018: The world celebrates Nigeria’s home kit

World Cup watchers went wild on Friday as Nigeria finally rocked their home kit.

Nigeria and Nike released the green, white and black shirt last month and it sold out on the day of its of release, with over 3million of the jerseys being snapped up and queues forming in London for it.

The Super Eagles did not wear the fashionable outfit during their first game against Croatia, which they lost 2-0, because of a potential kit clash.

But with Iceland donning their usual all-blue ensemble, they had the opportunity to rock it in Friday afternoon’s game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed his approval, putting a story on Instagram showing himself wearing it ahead of the game.

And there was no surprise when social media users went wild over the kit.

‘Nigeria’s playing in the saucy kit today,’ added @Shauna_Gee.

@WoSoVibes threw their weight behind Nigeria, saying: ‘If you have kits as nice as Nigeria you deserve to win’.

Dave Sharman also said: ‘Finally, some Nigeria home kit action…’

@PixtaPilar was more simple about it, writing: ‘NIGERIA ARE WEARING THE KIT’.
