Both the Croatia 2018 World Cup and the FC Barcelona 19-20 home kits feature chequers. The size and number of the chequers is similar - Barca's kits has a bit smaller and therefore one more line of chequers. Croatia's chequers come with a 'toothed design', while FC Barcelona's chequers are 100% standard.
The main difference of the chequers is that Barca's shirt has them on the back, while Croatia's kit has them on the front only. The collar of Barca's jersey also features a special Catalan flag element that is unique for the FC Barcelona 2019-20 home kit.

Retail-wise, the Nike FC Barcelona 19-20 kit is a bit more expensive than the Croatia 2018 World Cup kit, at least the replica version - Nike increased the price of its replica kits ahead of the 2019-2020 season [Now 90 USD for the replica version (5 Euro increase), 140 Euro for the authentic version (same as before)].

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
