Our retro collection celebrates Croatia's tournament history through iconic designs. The 1998 World Cup Lotto kits remain highly sought-after, featuring the predominantly white checkerboard pattern arranged to resemble a flag blowing in the wind. These shirts witnessed Šuker's Golden Boot triumph and Croatia's third-place finish at their debut World Cup.
The 2018 World Cup Nike designs achieved global recognition as Croatia reached the final. The bold red and white checkers paired with blue trim created one of the tournament's most popular shirts. Each retro jersey connects fans to Croatia's proudest moments.
Croatia's first World Cup appearance made their Lotto kits legendary. The design featured white as the dominant colour with the checkerboard pattern creating visual movement. The away shirt used mainly blue with checkerboard sections. These kits announced Croatia to the world as Šuker scored six goals, earning the Golden Boot and securing third place.
Croatia's run to the World Cup final made these Nike kits instantly iconic. The design featured checkerboard shoulders with red squares scattered across a mainly white torso. The away shirt featured blurred squares in navy and electric blue. Despite losing to France, these designs became global bestsellers.
Nike has supplied Croatia since 2000, creating consistent visual identity across multiple tournaments. Early designs featured checkers with blue mesh panels. The 2006 kit offered an evenly balanced checkerboard throughout. By 2014, red occupied more space thanks to solid sleeves and larger squares. This partnership continues through 2026 before a manufacturer change.
Luka Modric stands as Croatia's modern maestro. His midfield genius earned him the 2018 Ballon d'Or, becoming the first Croatian to win football's highest individual honour. Captain through multiple tournaments, "MODRIC" remains the most requested name for Croatia shirt personalization.
Davor Šuker scored Croatia's first great goals on the international stage. His 1998 World Cup Golden Boot, won with six goals including the memorable lob over Denmark's Peter Schmeichel, made him a national icon. "ŠUKER" continues appearing on retro shirts decades later.
Ivan Rakiti? brought elegance and technical quality to Croatia's midfield, starring at Barcelona while delivering crucial performances for the Vatreni. Mario Mandžuki? provided physical presence and crucial goals, scoring in the 2018 World Cup final. Ivan Periši?'s versatility and attacking threat made him indispensable during Croatia's golden generation.
Andrej Kramari? represents current attacking quality, consistently delivering goals in qualification campaigns. Among earlier stars, Robert Prosine?ki's skill and Zvonimir Boban's leadership established Croatia as a serious football nation in the 1990s.
The šahovnica pattern carries over 1000 years of Croatian history. Acclaimed Croatian artist Miroslav Šutej—who also designed Croatia's flag and coat of arms—created the checkerboard football kit design. Prior to independence, Croatian representative sides wore plain red jerseys. Šutej's vision transformed the national team's visual identity, creating one of sport's most distinctive designs.
The pattern originates from Croatia's medieval coat of arms, representing centuries of Croatian identity. Fans proudly call themselves the "Kockasti" (Chequered Ones), embracing the design that makes Croatia unmistakable on any football pitch.
Lotto Era (1990s): Supplied Croatia during their breakthrough period, creating the iconic 1998 World Cup designs that introduced the checkerboard to global audiences.
Nike Partnership (2000-2026): A remarkable partnership spanning multiple World Cups and European Championships. Nike refined the checkerboard concept through various iterations, from template-based designs to more bespoke creations respecting Croatian identity.
