Mikel Obi Super Eagles jersey

On Wednesday, Nike officially unveiled Super Eagles’ kits for this summer’s FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The new set of jerseys was widely accepted by Nigerians.

But few others weren’t entirely pleased, particularly the home kit.

Like the three-time African champions, 16 other nations have made public their official jerseys.

While several were excellent, many others didn’t quite match the Nigerians.

Here are five of superior quality.

1 – England 

The Three Lions of England to a classic home and away kits ahead of the Mundial.

2 – Argentina

World Cup foes, Argentina’s new home kit features the iconic blue and white stripes, it will also commemorate the AFA’s 125 year anniversary

3 – Uruguay

Uruguay’s classic sky blue shirt will be present at this year’s World Cup, but this one has a unique difference. There is an ‘engineered jacquard graphic’ embedded on the front which is inspired by the nation’s Sol de Atlántida monument.

4 – Switzerland

Switzerland’s new home top features patterning aimed to reflect the country’s mountainous regions. A special version of the Swiss flag is positioned underneath the collar.

5 – Belgium 

The Belgians will be taking their inspiration from Euro ’84 for their World Cup kit with the shirt an overall colour of red which ties in with their nickname of the ‘Red Devils’.
