Super Eagles’ 2018 away jersey ranked in top 10 iconic World Cup kits

The Nigeria national football team's 2018 World Cup away jersey has earned a spot among the most iconic kits in FIFA World Cup history, according to a BBC Sport report. The striking jersey, produced by Nike, quickly became a global talking point during the 2018 tournament held in Russia.

Inspired by Nigeria's rich football heritage from 1994, the jersey features a bold green-and-white geometric pattern. Its design captivated international audiences, becoming a fashion hit and selling out almost instantly worldwide even before the competition kicked off. This cultural phenomenon was recognized by BBC Sport, which placed it at number 5 in its list of the top 10 iconic World Cup kits.

The BBC's ranking highlights the jersey's significant cultural impact beyond the sport. It sits among other legendary designs, including Brazil's 1970 home kit worn by Pelé's team, Argentina's 1986 away shirt associated with Maradona, and West Germany's 1990 home kit, celebrated for its modern design influence.
