After Nike released the FC Barcelona 19-20 kit, Croatian Football Federation released a short tweet that states that one can't beat red-and-white checkers.
However, the reason for Barcelona having a checkboard print is not because of Croatia- The design is inspired by the gridded streetscape of Barcelona’s Eixample district.
"The neighborhood pulses with creativity, and its residents are acknowledged as the building blocks of the city’s future."
👕 Well, we are convinced that @ivanrakitic will surely enjoy the new @FCBarcelona kit! 🤩#Croatia https://t.co/8bnbMWOUA8

“The kit is something new and exciting,” says Gerard Piqué. “It might be different, but it is 100 percent Barca and it is even better that the design represents the bond the club has with the supporters and the people who are driving the city forward.”

Nike Confirms Release of Gold Mercurial CR7 2026 World Cup Boots
Nike has officially confirmed the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, special-edition signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the American sportswear giant will launch a spectacular all-gold Mercurial specifically designed for the Portuguese superstar. This exclusive release is scheduled to drop just before Portugal kicks off their opening group-stage match.
The decision to equip the forward in a striking all-gold colorway is a deliberate and symbolic tribute by the brand's design team. Speaking on the upcoming launch to The Athletic, Nike representative Odinga Nimako, a senior figure at Nike’s global football footwear team, explained the specific reasoning behind the glamorous aesthetic. "The fact that Ronaldo is playing his sixth World Cup, we wanted to celebrate the legacy he has set and the way he continues to add to his legacy," Nimako stated. "And there is no better color than gold to help do that."
It remains to be see if Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the golden boots in a match - we expect him to wear them in training only.
