The Croatia Euro 2024 home kit is out ahead of the tournament in Germany, and it looks exactly as you'd imagine.
Drawn into a difficult group alongside Spain, Italy and Albania, Croatia will need to be on top form if they're to have any chance of reaching the knockout stages at Euro 2024. Fortunately, they'll be looking resplendent among the other Euro 2024 kits, regardless of the results that will come their way this summer.
Utilising the nation's classic checkerboard pattern, there's a slight twist on the latest installation of the Croatia shirt.

Since taking control of manufacturing Croatia kits in 2000, Nike have largely played it safe with similar designs each season. The classic checkerboard pattern has been ubiquitously utilised, with the design for World Cup 2022 the only time the American brand has veered slightly off track.
Indeed, not since the the days of Lotto at the 1998 World Cup has there been something a bit special, a bit different about the Croatia home kit. And while there's not a huge change this time around, the decision to use huge checkerboard blocks is certainly a welcome one.
EURO 2024 KITS Croatia's Euro 2024 away kit
Sure, there's arguably a lack of red, with the back of the shirt pretty much entirely white, but when the red does feature it creates a brilliant contrast that really helps the Croatians stand out on pitch.
And while there's been a pretty drastic makeover, it still remains quintessentially Croatian. Take away the crest and Nike logo, and the majority of Euro 2024 fans would know exactly which team's shirt they're looking at - and that's what makes it so fantastic.
The ribbed polo collar just also adds a little bit extra class to an already great jersey.

More kit drops
Nike have released all of their shirts, after Adidas dropped theirs.
Belgium's home kit is a deeper red, with their away kit Tintin-inspired. Germany's home jersey and away jersey have gradient-style patterns, while Italy's home shirt and away shirt and Hungary's home kit and away kit are more subtle. The Spain home shirt and away shirt are both inspired by nature.
France's home kit and away kit are brighter than recent moody efforts, as is the Netherlands home kit. The away kit, meanwhile, is more artistic: and Portugal have similar: their last Nike home jersey is a lighter red, with their away kit inspired by art.
For Britain, England's home kit and away kit visit different ends of a spectrum. Scotland's home shirt is modern and brash while the away shirt is calmer in tone. Wales are yet to qualify – but their home shirt and away shirt are both safe options.
