As mentioned in the post with Croatia’s Euro 2008 home kit, having the checkers is a nice touch but be careful on the amount. With the away kit that the Croats will wear, it reaffirms my point that checkers are nice…if done in moderation.

Nike took the red and white checkers that have become a staple of the Croatia National Team and incorporated them in two strips down the sides. This really stands out as the kit is a solid field of blue with nothing more than a red collar. This is the nicest kit out of the two that Croatia will wear for Euro 2008, and I must give this one a 4 out of 5 stars for the simplicity and ability to incorporate the checkers of the badge. This is one of the nicest kits in the tournament this year.

Croatia skated their way into the Euro 2008 with literal ease. So why play so hard against England? Because that is Croatia’s way of doing business. This is not a blog about how England faultered, or Croatia is a better team, this is about kits. So let us look at Croatia’s home kit that they will wear for the Euro 2008.

Barring any change in plans, the Croats will take the pitch in a traditional red and white checkerd kit. This has become the standard for Croatia as it matches the badge and flag of the country. It is kits like this that make a country proud of their team. Taking the badge of the country and incorporating it into the kit is a classy move for a classy nation. However I do not like the amount of red and white checkers on the kit. You could have done the same in a smaller space and made it look much better. So for their home kit I will give the Croats a 3 out of 5. I like the design, just not on the entire kit.
