The specially designed kits by Nike the Super Eagles will wear at the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be ready by February, officials have disclosed.

This means the Eagles will launch these new kits in March, when they are expected to play two top warm-up games preparatory to the World Cup.

Those who have come across “leaked” photos of the new kit say it is v-necked and resembles the jersey the Eagles wore when they lost 1-0 to England at Wembley in November 1995.

“The fans will love them,” said another person who has seen the approved designs.

“The aura of the Golden Generation has been captured by the designs and hopefully that will help the Eagles to set a new record at Russia 2018.”
