The New Croatia Shirt and Top: Euro 2012 Croatia Kit by Nike

The official Croatia home and away football shirts for the Euro 2012 are available with official Croatia kit printing through Subside Sports. Croatia's new Home Euro Shirt sports the proud Croatian checkered pattern that has adorned so many famous croatia kits of the past. It is matched with white shorts and socks. The Euro 2012 Croatia Away Kit features a solid blue top with the top left corner sectioned off to proudly display the red and white checkered pattern. It is accompanied by matching blue shorts and socks.

The iconic red and white checkerboard home shirts have been worn by some of the game's top players resulting in some of the most iconic kits in World Cup and European Championship history:

• Luka Modrić Shirts - Tottenham Hotspur
• Niko Kranjčar Shirts - Tottenham Hotspur
• Eduardo Shirts - Shaktar Donetsk
• Darijo Srna Shirts - Shaktar Donetsk

• 1993-2000 - Lotto
• 2001 to date - Nike

The first Croatian team took the pitch in 1990 after their country's independence from Yugoslavia. They reached the quarter-finals in both the Euro 96 and Euro 2008 and finished third in the World Cup 1998. For the Euro 2012 they are drawn in Group C, which puts them against the previous two major tournament winners, Spain and Italy, as well as the Republic of Ireland. Surviving this group will be a challenge, but after their heartbreaking elimination from the Euro 2008 Tournament, Vatreni are back with a score to settle and will not be an easy opponent for any team that crosses their path.
