Croatia 2026 World Cup Away Player Kit
Legacy in Transition. Boldness in Design.
As Croatia prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, their Away Player Kit stands as a symbolic farewell to a 26-year partnership with Nike. This jersey is more than just apparel—it's a final chapter in a design legacy that has defined Croatian football aesthetics for over two decades.
Design & Colorway
Primary Color: Deep navy blue, evoking strength and composure.
Pattern: Subtle two-tone checkerboard motif across the chest—an homage to Croatia’s iconic national identity, reimagined with modern minimalism.
Accents: Red piping along the shoulders and sides adds a sharp contrast, echoing the vibrancy of Croatian passion.
Branding & Emblems
Federation Crest: The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) badge sits proudly at the heart, featuring the red-and-white checker shield, blue “HNS” initials, and a golden football.
Nike Swoosh: Positioned just below the crest in crisp white—marking the final Nike appearance before Adidas takes over post-2026.
Authenticity Tag: A black and gold “Authentic Licensed Product” label near the hem confirms its status as official player gear.
Historical Significance
This kit is Nike’s last for Croatia, closing a design era that began in 1998. Starting summer 2026, Adidas will become the new kit supplier, ushering in a fresh visual identity.
