Croatia was formed in 1990 following the breakup of Yugoslavia and gained FIFA membership in 1993. Despite their relatively short history, the national team kit has been worn by some of the best footballers in the world such as Davor Suker, Robert Prosinecki, Luka Modric and Zvormir Boban.
Such was the quality of the Croatian side that just in 1998, just five years after gaining FIFA membership, they finished third at the World Cup in France. As a result, the Croatian jersey has consistently been one of our bestselling football shirts as soccer fans around the globe enjoy the vibrant style and passion from the Croats.
The Croatian home jersey is one of the most instantly recognisable in world football with its unique red and white chequered design. The first strip in 1990 was designed by painter Miroslav Sutej, who was also the creator of the nation’s coat of arms. The distinctive design is not used by the national team in other sports and has become an important symbol of identity.
Traditionally, the shirt is worn with white shorts and blue socks. The chequered design often creates a problem for shirt printing, as the name and numbers do not always show up clearly on the back and often a white panel is built into the design to alleviate this problem.
The most famous Croatian home shirt was worn in the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany, when the whole shirt featured the chequered design.
In sharp contrast to the home jersey, the away shirt is always blue in colour, although the red and white chequers are always incorporated into the design.
White shirt printing completes a sleek, stylish look for the away kit.
The early Croatian shirts were made by Lotto, but have been taken over by Nike, who have manufactured the national team shirts since the 1990’s.
Their ongoing success in both European Championship Finals and World Cup’s, where they are regularly tipped as dark horses to win the tournament has contributed to the popularity and strong sales history of the Croatia jerseys.
