Nigeria notch ‘super kit’ gong

Now that we have seen all the 32 nations in action at the World Cup, it is fair to make a sane judgment in selecting the best five jerseys.

Not that wearing the best outfit has an effect on the eventual match result as we have seen with Nigeria so far but it brings a different feel to the world’s biggest sporting event. In fact if you are into fashion, this lineup could be helpful in guiding you to make a selection on what jerseys to buy even as souvenir.

5. Germany - away
Adidas have outdone themselves at this World Cup! Die Mannschaft’s away jersey is king. A vintage green from their kit at Italia 1990 is truly breathtaking. Ausgezeichnet.

4. Brazil – home
This is one of the most iconic jerseys in world football. The five-time world champions are donning the legendary canary yellow manufactured by Nike.
Inspired by the 1970 kit won by Pele and Co. en route to winning the World Cup trophy, this jersey brings back good memories. Excelente.

3. France - home
With two shades of blue – Les Bleus jersey depicts the navy overshadowing most of the shirt to override the cornflower on the sleeves all the way to the neck. Nike did well. Incroyable.

2. Belgium - home
With inspiration from their Euro 1984 kit, this red jersey with a striking argyle diamond chest pattern at the front has a touch of gold and a little black giving it a completely unique look.
Assembled by Adidas, the Red Devils kit is their best work at the World Cup in Russia. Magnifique.

1. Nigeria - home
The flamboyant white and green wing pattern has since June 1 swept the world by storm. Inspired by their 1994 kit, the improvement to lime green brings life to this jersey. Nike won this battle. Beauty redefined.
