Twenty three of the expected 32 teams for next year’s World Cup are already confirmed. Next week, the remaining nine will emerge. Traditionally, the World Cup offers country the opportunity to unveil new football kits as the competition is also a platform for major kit manufacturers to showcase their creativity.

Traditionally, the most prominent kit manufacturer, the Germany based Adidas, displays kits of its teams at the World Cup draw, latching on the partnership it has with FIFA. Others, notably Puma, Nike, and Umbro among other s will be having their kitted teams attires unveiled later.

Sports Village Square gathered that the Nigeria’s Super Eagles’ Nike kit for the World Cup will be launched in March 2018. But some other teams’ kits slated for earlier launch have leaked out.  One of such is that of Argentina, the team Nigeria will face in a friendly duel in about two weeks time.

According to foot headlines, a publication specialist on kits, the Argentina 2018 World Cup home kit, made by Adidas, has been leaked. The new kit slated for unveiling when the team meet Russia next week Friday in a friendly match, draws inspiration from the 1993 Copa America shirt, worn the last time Argentina won a major title.

As practically always, the Argentina 2018 shirt features white and sky blue stripes. This time around, the base of the Argentina home jersey is mostly white, with three blue stripes on the front and back being the only parts in that colour.

The collar of the Argentina 2018 kit is cut off at the front, inspired by the 1993 shirt which was on the Adidas Equipment line. The Adidas stripes are relegated to the shoulders of the Argentina 2018 home shirt, after they ran down along the sides on the previous design.

Besides the rather old school design, the Argentina 2018 home kit (or at least the authentic version) stands out as one of Adidas’ first football kits to feature the Climachill technology. Black shorts and socks complete the Argentina 2018 World Cup home kit.

Also leaked is that of World Cup holders, Germany. The new kit slated for release this November draws inspiration from the team’s most iconic shirt design of all time. The away set of kits is slated to be unveiled in March.

The home shirt is predominantly white and reinterprets the iconic 1990 top in a modern way. Instead of featuring the colours of the German flag, the graphic design across the upper front of the Germany 2018 home shirt features shades of grey and black those are created using differently sized black lines.

The chest band is also reverted and moved higher up the shirt compared to the 1990 top, with the front numbers appearing cantered just below the shape. The overlap collar of the Germany 2018 World Cup home kit is a direct copy of the one used on the original shirt.

Although the Nike kits of England are expected to be unveiled on March 23 next year when the team faces Netherlands in a friendly match, the attire is already also leaked out.

After 2016’s England national team jerseys were rather simple and not too personalized, the 2018 World Cup England home kit will feature a bespoke graphic print on the front. The England 2018 away jersey will be red and white, with a different print on the front.

The ice blue sleeves of the previous England kit are dropped – we expect them to be simply white or white with a subtle knit pattern. Template-wise, the England 2018 home jersey will be based on the latest iteration of the Nike Vapor template, which brings new and personalized knits and prints on the body and redesigned sleeves to top it off. Those will still have a raglan cut, but no further details beyond that are certain right now.
