Mar 21, 2018, by Pat
Nike today officially unveiled the new Croatia 2018 World Cup home kit, confirming the previous leaks. The Croatia 2018 World Cup kit introduces a new interpretation of the team's iconic checker design, featuring much larger checkers than recently. Made by Nike, both Croatia 2018 jerseys will be launched shortly.
“For a football connoisseur, Croatia are one of the most visual and alluring teams playing the beautiful game today,” says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “Croatians are also deeply proud of their heritage. This comes through in the checkered shirts, which are inspired by the national flag and viewed with envy by fans from other countries.”

The Croatia 2018 World Cup shirt features a bold design with large red and white checkers, with the sleeves being solid red with a subtle zig-zag knit pattern, typical of Nike's 2018 Vapor template. A similar zig-zag detail is applied to the checkers on the front of the Croatia 2018 World Cup home shirt.
A navy blue Swoosh sits in the center of one of the white checkers, opposite of the federation of crest, on the chest of the Croatia 2018 World Cup soccer jersey. The sleeves of the Croatia 2018 home shirt are red, while the back is solid white.
White shorts and blue socks are expected to complete the Croatia 2018 World Cup kit.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
