The Super Eagles premiered the shirts in friendlies against Poland and Serbia in March. But sadly, you'll have to wait a bit to get your hands on one because it's not released until June 1. However, you can see it for yourself, in the flesh, at the brilliant Fabric of Football exhibition launched by retro vintage football shirt collectors Classic Football Shirts. 13 It's not out yet, but Classic Football Shirts have Nigeria's World Cup jersey on display 13 Doug Bierton is the founder of Manchester company Classic Football Shirts Credit: Instagram, @dougiebierton 13 Classic Football Shirts have launched an exhibition called Fabric of Football - celebrating retro vintage football jerseys 13 Fabric of Football is open to the public and has free admission The Manchester-based company are the go-to business to find rare, worn, classic jerseys of your favourite team. Amazingly, they've managed to get their hands on Nigeria's home shirt before it comes out in the shops. "I think we're the only people in the UK that's got the Nigeria jersey," Classic Football Shirts founder Doug Bierton told SunSport. "We called in a few favours to get it for Fabric of Football.

"We told them we were doing this exhibition and asked them if they'd help us out and give us the new Nigerian shirt to us. We're chuffed to have it." When Nike announced Nigeria's clothing collection, social media blew up with football fans wanting to get their hands on some of the merch. Manchester lad Bierton, 32, believes it's the street fashion style design that has people going mad for it. 13 Nike's Nigeria collection has been credited for its nod to street fashion 13 Football fans will have to wait until June 1 before they can get their hands on Nike's Nigeria clobber "I think its graphics, the early 90s designs are back in fashion and the manufacturers have really picked up on what people are wearing on the street," he said. "The Nigeria shirt has got that retro flavour to it, but it's not a direct copy of previous kits. "It's taken from a shirt they wore in a friendly against England in 1994. "It's actually the same pattern on the sleeves that was worn by Dortmund and PSV in the 90s. "They've managed to amalgamate the traditional pattern of the Nigeria '94 Adidas shirt with their Nike design. "It's spot on and it's very unique really." 13 The Fabric of Football exhibition is on until April 29 in Bethnal Green Road, East London 13 The only place you can see the Nigeria World Cup shirt up close is in a pop-up shop in East London Trying to cash in on the craze, fraudsters have already started selling fake shirts online.

The demand for Nigeria's sexy new home shirt has been utterly incredible. The NFF says Nike has received 3million orders for the Nigeria World Cup jerseys that will go on sale May 29. At $85 each, that's a decent $255m (91.8bn Naira). Nike and the NFF agreed to a $1m per annum contract three years ago. Time to improve it, all things being equal. - Lolade Adewuyi (@Jololade) May 17, 2018 Much to the delight of football fans and those who know a spicy football shirt when they see one, the shirt, along with the rest of the beautiful collection, has officially been released today. Advert 10 Football shirt enthusiasts like myself have been waiting to see it hit the stores ever since pictures of the 1994-inspired home shirt began to do the rounds - and to the surprise of absolutely no-one, it's sold out in rapid time on the Nike store. Nigeria's World Cup kit went on sale at 10am, 10:02am and it's ALL gone :disappointed: - Nikhita Chulani (@NChulani) June 1, 2018 The price of £64.95 would typically be seen as far too steep for a football shirt but given its quite possibly the very best we've seen in years, and it's something that would look fresh regardless of whether you're at five-a-side or at Parklife festival, it's been snapped up by people before you could say Jay Jay Okocha. Advert 10 Loading… Interest in purchasing the cool clobber on its launch date was so monumental in fact, that there were huge queues at the Nike Town in London.
