The first half of the 2014 2015 Russian Premier League was a successful and profitable one for Zenit St Petersburg. Sure, the club missed out on a chance to progress to the next round of the UEFA Champions League. However that disappointment in international tournament play was more than made up for by the squad's resounding success during the first five months of the domestic season. Now, the Anti Aircraft Gunners look poised to claim their fifth Russian soccer championship title in 2015, and you can celebrate that fact today with a brand new Zenit St Petersburg Nike shirt!
You can find that Nike shirt, along with several other pieces of Zenit football merchandise, available at Soccer Box now.

Suffice to say that, if you are looking for Nike Zenit St Petersburg gear, you can find it here!
A Great Run so Far
The Russian Premier League gets a longer winter break than virtually any other division in association football. St Petersburg, for instance, closed out 2014 all the way back on December 4th, winning a big 4-0 victory in a home fixture against Krasnodar.
Now, the club's players won't don the Zenit St Petersburg Nike shirt again until March 6th, 2015. The three-month break will give the Anti Aircraft Gunners ample time to prepare a plan of attack for their remaining 13 games.
Not that Zenit exactly needs a plan of attack to put together a title-winning season at this point. With 17 fixtures on the books so far in the 2014 2015 Russian Premier League season, St Petersburg has won 13 of them, drawn two, and lost two.
That superlative record leaves the club with 41 points on the division standings table. The next closest football team on the table-the defending champs from CSKA Moscow-only have 34 points.
Unstoppable?
With those stats considered, and with more than half of the season gone, the Anti Aircraft Gunners look virtually unstoppable. Few, at this point, would bet against the wearers of the Zenit St Petersburg home jersey 2014 2015 clinching their fifth Russian championship title.
There are numerous reasons that Zenit looks unstoppable right now. On one thing, the club has momentum on its side. By beating Krasnodar 4-0 to end 2014, the club gave themselves three months to dwell on one of their biggest victories of the season. When they return to the pitch for a March 6th fixture against Ural, they'll explode out of the gate with all of the confidence and adrenaline in the world.
That big year-ending home win also sent new fans heading to Soccer Box to pick up the Zenit St Petersburg Nike shirt. Expect the club to have a few new supporters in 2015.
Big Wins
Furthermore, the Krasnodar win wasn't the only big victory that the Anti Aircraft Gunners have managed this season while clad in the Zenit St Petersburg home jersey 2014 2015 from Nike.
Indeed, in just the second week of competitive play, the Nike shirt-wearing squad crushed Torpedo Moscow 8-1; in mid-September, they won a hard-fought 3-2 showdown against Dynamo Moscow, the team currently in third place in the division; and in late October, they thrilled home audiences with a 5-0 shutout of Mordovia Saransk.
Not that all the big wins have come at home. On the contrary, arguably the biggest match of the season so far was an away game, played on November 1st, against CSKA Moscow. Even though CSKA had the home field advantage, the Anti Aircraft Gunners ended up winning the game 1-0. If anything highlight's the squad's chances of claiming a league title in 2015, it's that win.
Do you think that Zenit St. Petersburg can hold strong throughout the spring in order to win a national title? If so, stop by Soccer Box today and pick up a Zenit St Petersburg Nike shirt to root for the club. Whether you are looking for a Nike home jersey or a 2014 2015 away jersey, you can find it here.
