Have Kappa Created the Better Portugal Kit Than Nike?
Sep 16, 2022, by Chris
The new Nike Portugal 2022 World Cup home kit introduces a never-used-before red-green diagonal design. It definitely splits opinion - just some days ago, Italian brand Kappa released a third kit collection for Brazilian team Vasco that many prefer over Nike's Portugal design.
Vasco da Gama 2022-2023 Goalkeeper Third Kit As Nike Portugal Concept
The Vasco da Gama 22-23 third goalkeeper shirt has a color combo and design that greatly fits the Portuguese national team. It combines a maroon base with gold logos and gold/green detailing, rounded off by a jacquard pattern emulating the tiles inside the São Januário stadium.
For our mock-up, we replaced the Kappa Omini with the Swoosh and the Vasco crest with the logo of the Portuguese national football team. The result is a stunning-looking kit that perfectly fits the Portuguese national team.
We also created a mock-up of the Vasco 22-23 player third kit, which would make a good Portugal 2022 World Cup away 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.
