The highly anticipated Nigeria World Cup Jersey for the Super Eagles is set to be officially released this week and according to reports, it’ll be sold for $85 (#30,600).
The new jersey was unveiled a few months back in London by the Nigerian Football Federation and Nike.
See how Nigerians are reacting to the proposed price of the jersey below…
Minimum Wage N18,000. Nigerian Jersey N41,000 so how are we going to support the Super Eagles when the price of the Jersey is higher than minimum wage. #ThisIsNigeria #DemocracyDay2018— Steven Marvèl (@AkposMarvel) May 29, 2018

Considering the price of the new Super Eagles jersey, it seems smarter to cop the original 1994 one that's been going around and claim nostalgia value tbh.— BFG (@THISISBFG) May 29, 2018

A 41k price point for a Super Eagles jersey shows clearly why we would never have lucrative kit deals for our National teams. At that price, uptake will be be extremely poor & NFF will not have leverage when negotiating. The biggest winners in this are the guys making knock offs.— Babanla (@biolakazeem) May 28, 2018

So, Nike delayed releasing the original Super Eagles until now. And then it's going for N41,000. Forty one thousand naira! Odiegwu.— Ifreke Inyang (@Ifreke) May 28, 2018
It's totally absurd and disgusting that many Nigerians would foolishly buy the "SUPER EAGLES" new World Cup Jersey @ N41,000 and be proud to post and showcase it on social media whereas the Country's minimum wage is twice the selling price. This nation is nothing but a #SHITHOLE— TIMBALAND (@A_TIMBALAND) May 28, 2018
