As announced some days ago, most of Nike's missing 2020 international kits were released this morning. Among them is the new Croatia 2020 home kit. “Croatia is always a really inspiring federation for Nike because of the power of their identity,” says Scott Munson, VP, Nike Football Apparel. “The new 2020 home kit is true to Croatian football heritage, while the away is another very cool interpretation of Croatian design for the players and supporters.”
The words “Hrvatska Vatreni” (Croatia Blazers) are printed inside the shirt as an inner pride feature, and the look is completed by white shorts and red socks. That phrase appears again on the team’s pre-match top, a futuristic two-tone blue design that boasts a distorted check pattern. Croatia gets a fresh street-informed look on a stealthy, dark away with the kit featuring an abstract black and anthracite checkerboard aesthetic that spreads across the shirt and appears on the socks. The national team crest, red details and vivid red side stripes provide a pop of color. “I like the new kits, I think they suit us very well,” says captain Luka Modric. “The home is like a classic shirt, but given a modern update. The checks are the size I remember from when I was younger. The away is new and exciting, something we have not had before.”

The Nike Croatia 2020 home and away kits are available to buy from today, 1 September 2020. The full collection will be available at Nike and partner retail stores September 4.
The kits from some teams such as Brazil have still not been released. Previously, only Chile, Nigeria, South Korea and the USA have been unveiled. Three of Nike's 2020 national team sets were unveiled at the Nike Innovation event in New York City in February 2020: Nigeria, South Korea and USA. The Nike 2020 national team kits will be used in the postponed Euro 2020, 2020 Copa America as well as in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
