Nike have finally furnished us with the brand new togs Brazil will be wearing at the World Cup this summer.
The home kit features a new shirt which Nike assure us is rendered in the brightest and most vivid shade of yellow that the Selecao have sported for over 20 years.
Indeed, the designers took a trip to the Football Museum in Sao Paulo and used a colour swatch book to match the exact 'Samba Gold' hue of the shirts Brazil wore while winning the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.
Nike have released the capsule of kits France will be wearing at the World Cup this summer and you know what? They're okay. Nothing special. Nothing to write home about.
Oh, who are we kidding. They're all hopelessly elegant, effortlessly stylish and achingly cool just like every other France kit.
What with him being one of their biggest cash cows in the footballing realm, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that Nike have significant influence on where Neymar plays his football.
Brazilian outlet UOL Esportes claim to have stumbled across the 10-year endorsement deal that Neymar signed with Nike shortly before he joined Barcelona (a Nike team) back in 2011.
It's more than a little galling that while Nike are perfectly content to furnish England with yet another generic dullard of a shirt, they appear to have provided Nigeria with a truly stunning collection of retina-jangling World Cup fare.
Indeed, leaked images of the Nike training/travelling kit that the Super Eagles will be wearing in Russia this coming summer and put it this way: it's unlikely to be surpassed between now and the start of the tournament.
The kit that England will be purportedly wearing at the 2018 World Cup this summer has been leaked and, guess what, it's another utterly uninspired offering from Nike.
According to the images snaffled by Footy Headlines, the shirt will be of the humdrum 'plain white' variety, with a sliver of red trim around the back of neck.
After failing with his first go, Harry Kane joined the Premier League 100 Goal club by tucking away his second penalty of the eveningin Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Liverpoolat Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The goal saw Kane become the 27th player to reach three figures in the top flight and second-fastest man (141 games) to do so, behind Alan Shearer (124 games).
While the fact that Philippe Coutinho is poised to join Barcelona very soon is hardly the footballing world's most labyrinthine secret, the Brazilian forward, for the time being at least, remains an employee of Liverpool Football Club.
That's why Nike have been more than a little bit sneaky in jumping the gun, by referring to Coutinho as a Barcelona player on the Barca section of their website.
'Tis the season of the international kit release and, while England's new strip has yet to be formally unveiled, a couple of leaked images purport to show just how the Three Lions will be togged up come the 2018 World Cup.
Because this is Nike we're talking about here, they'll be none of the individually themed retro-tinged goodness we witnessed with the recent batch of Adidas World Cup efforts.
