 With the unveiling of the Super Eagles’ kit, 20 of the 32 World Cup-bound squads have revealed what their teams will wear. The newspaper rates Nigeria’s kit as best so far among the 20 already unveiled.

Those already unveiled include that of England which incidentally is also manufactured by Nike. Nigeria’s rating, according to the newspaper, is measured by the volume of positive feedback on Twitter.
