Vinted's State on Football Kits is at Least Questionable
Searching for football shirts on Vinted has become increasingly a joke for buyers looking for any serious offer. Searches are flooded with fake or unofficial shirts, frequently presented as authentic or described with careful wording that avoids making any real claim.
Condition is another major issue, with heavily worn, damaged, or stained shirts commonly listed as “very good” or “only slight marking,” despite obvious flaws in the photos.
The overall experience is made worse by inconsistent sizing descriptions, poor-quality images, and repeated listings of the same fake designs. While Vinted can still offer genuine bargains, especially for casual buyers, the lack of control over authenticity and condition means purchasing a football shirt often feels like a gamble rather than a simple transaction.

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.
