Croatia X Adidas Kit Competition
The "Croatia X Adidas Kit" competition, which is accepting entries until June 22, 2025, and has already attracted 355 submissions, tasks designers with creating an outfield kit (no goalkeeper kits) for 'Vatreni' under the Adidas brand. Participants are drawing inspiration from Croatia's iconic red and white checkerboard home kits, often with royal or cobalt blue accents, and their traditional blue away strips, though recent navy and black designs also serve as reference.
The concepts submitted so far showcase diverse interpretations, from classic checkerboards on modern Adidas templates to innovative blue away designs. This creative challenge offers a fascinating glimpse into potential future aesthetics for Croatia should a supplier change occur.
