Trending photos showing foreigners proudly rocking the new Super Eagles’ jersey soon after it sold out yesterday in London.

After Nike received 3 million pre-orders, Nigeria’s World Cup kit was officially released for sale on Friday, June 1.

Outside NikeTown in London, fans lined down Oxford Street and round the corner to purchase the kit.

The kit, which was available for sale online quickly sold out with many buyers unable to add to their cart.

As a result of the demand, fans flocked to Nike Town opposite Oxford Circus tube station in hope of having a jersey of their own.

Nike UK also said there were no plans to restock.

The home jersey which goes for about 41,000 naira in Nigeria was first worn in the friendly against Poland in March. The home jersey was worn again in the match against DR Congo.

However, fake replicas of the jersey has flooded the market before the official launch with reports claiming about 3 million of the fake jersey was already on sale.

Senator Ben Bruce has come out to slam the decision made by the NFF for allowing the Super Eagle’s jerseys to be produced by Nike, argues that Aba tailors should have been given the contract .

Well Sen. Ben is known for his logical and economic criticisms when it comes to anything that concerns the growth and development of the country, Nigeria.

We all know the Aba tailors for their industrious nature and their ability to create lovely outfits, well the senator has now come out to say that the super eagle’s jersey contract should have been given to them rather than Nike to save and to infuse at least $100 million into the Nigerian economy and provide jobs for our youths.

He took to his twitter to make the post saying;

“Just imagine if those 3 million Nigerian Super Eagles jerseys were made by a firm in Aba rather than @Nike. Aba tailors have the capacity to produce them. We just lost an opportunity to infuse at least $100 million into the Nigerian economy and provide jobs for our youths.”
