An individual extremely high in the HNS told CroatianSports.com months ago that if Croatia qualified for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, the Vatreni away kits would be an all black & grey checker design; similar to what is pictured above. Well, Croatia is headed to Russia; so will be seeing the first Croatian kit not to feature red and white checkers since 1994?
@chopper -Modrič! Not even remotely close to being our greatest ever player
Thanks buddy
^
Marine boy is a good name!
Keep the checks I say! Ditch the diamonds !
Black kits are sweet. Especially if we draw Russia.
The Red/White check is awesome, even the neutrals love it. But it seems like many teams have solid red and solid white as their home and away kits so even if we’re the “home” team we have to weak blue. I think this happened in the Euros. Away teams should have to bring a third kit in our WC group.
@ TOT – I dare you to name those selos in the Zadar area that you claim are Yugo.
@ the other truth
lažeš
Ah The Other Truth, so you are calling our greatest ever player, Modric, Yugo scum?! Sram te bilo!
All of petrcane and the zadar area are yugos
Lol yes but a couple of my cuzs are not, some joined Partizans because their neighbor did not because they had anything political affiliation with communists
@Dalic Lama
This Majer kid looks to have a boat load of talent. Hopefully he does pan out. I, as well as many dont know much about him, probably because hes playing at Lokomotiva, which doesnt get much if any exposure. Have any of the big 3 in the HNL (Dinamo, Hajduk, Rijeka) shown any interest in him? Other than rumors from Celtic which have died down, has any other european club taken a sniff at him? I dont know, hopefully so. Hes only 19, but at that age usually you hear more about such a prospect which is concerning. Hopefully a mid tier Gemran/Spanish/Italian side grabs him so he can continue to develop and be useful piece to future tournaments. Depth is a good thing.
Soul Champ – much rather Iggy swear at me, than make me a mix tape. Twas idiotic enuf to watch his qualifying video WITHOUT muting it. That music is sitting in mein ear like dogshit, & not 7 day old dried up dogshit, like new steamy wet dogshit.
Not hating on Halilovic, just want him to tidy up. If he can finish psycho runs with quality, achtung!
Iggy – all good, that is why I included his first name in my 2nd post.
@ Iggy
You are cursing out “his holiness the Dalić Lama!”
Hey i didnt know his first name, fucko, i searched for soccer player Majer and i got some mid 20s Slovenian dude and i was thinking who the fuck cares about him? lol
@ Idemo
Ofcourse we are NOT the same … BUT are able to COMPARE.
We need a bit more efficiency in supporting our boys from ages 18-22 within our national set up.
Especially now as our u21 team is loaded with talent.
@ Svima
To be clear only the best of the young talent that is showing form from their club season are to be considered
But we have bad history of going to major tournaments and playing tired legs and getting bum rushed.
There is simply ZERO reason that any team on the planet should out run us?
Čačić brings on Pjaca and Rog in the early in the second half we beat Portugal at Euro 2016.
The same crew that beat Spain was left out to dry.
Those boys who jumped on Mexico in LA is exactly the hunger we need coming off that bench.
@ His holiness the Dalić Lama
Point is we need to support these young ballers.
Haven’t seen enough of Majer?
Hope they both pan out.
@ Halilovic haters
Before ankle injury his final decisions in the attacking third were spot on this season. Putting in beautiful crosses to find open teammates.
Hopefully Vlašić gets some run today for Everton.
Iggy-u commie bastard, u got time to post 20 links about a fuckin black kit, but no time to look up Lovro Majer. In my humble opinion, I’d say he in the top 75 of soccer players under 20 worldwide. I’d also put Brekalo in that top 75.
German youth is not comparable to Croatian
Our boys have higher ceilings but are often over hyped while theirs turn out to be Uber efficient
i dont even know who Majer is?
SoulChamp- you might be counting on the wrong lefty. Majer probably going to be bigger piece of future.
Halilovic is good, but his last touch is nicht so good.
Better lefty prospect, Halil or Majer?
H-SoulChamp

{Add ur name to list of the guy u predict more from on NT }
UDBA radi…
I hope bustalo becomes the next messi. My youth projection models actually projected both bustalo and haliloshit as standout prospects largely as a result of their number of take ons and key passes in youth tournaments and also at dinamo regressed for age
Haliloshit has fallen off the path, but given his age the model still says he’s quite capable of becoming a good player
All that being said, let’s not bank on these guys bring superstars. The odds are extremely low. Bustalo scoring one goal doesn’t change that
@The truth
Did you know a wise man once said that “there is a certain analogy between learning and eating”? Some say you are what you eat. It’s obvious to me that you eat shit you stupid liberal minded shiteater.
On Brekalo, that was my comment on him scoring, coulda been a double, but in the end it didn’t matter, because 2-1 is how it ended as Stuttgart dominated Dortmund. Dortmund is shit.
Anyway, who was the moron that called Josip Brekalo “Bustalo” because he is not yet world class at 19yrs old?
Elvis don’t you know petrcane was/is a partisan town?
All black + red and white checks = MWAH !
https://gallery.services.forzamotorsport.net/fm7/photo/47783795-607a-4e80-be31-bc9ceb288519
Tbh Serbs are the biggest snowflakes of all
i would actually not be surprised if they said Brekalo should apologise for wearing black, LOL
but i hope we DO have a black kit and we go ahead and wear it cos i have always thought black would look good with red and white checkers trim somewhere so let’s hope!
WE ARE LEGION, WE ARE MANY
-U-
@ the truth
Careful
http://streamable.com/3agri
I am also holding out hope for Halilovic.
Too young to write off.
Ankle takes time but he should bounce back.
I want a stable of young studs fighting to get into the World Cup squad.
Brekalo in effect !
I hope Dalić is scouting all these young phenoms.
Now that we got into pot 2 the next hurdle is to choose the best young talent to fill out our squad.
Germany is always giving young talent an opportunity to step up.
We have an elite core of veterans that need the young legs to support a deep run out of pool play.
I pray Pjaca comes back to his explosive self and Kovačić gets onto ptich sooner than later.
Veteran scrubs should be cut to give way to the next generation.
The black kits are offensive to social justice pussies, fk them, its a color, not Nazi insignia, anyone who offended.. deez nuttz for u
the black kits are offensive
^^^
If you scroll halfway down, its the 2000 kit.
@Ante:
Cool, looking forward to the next 2 weeks. The draws are always interesting.
We tried to incorporate dark blue/black into our home kits, during I believe the 2002 qualifying campaign. We had dark blue/black strips along the rib cage of the red and white homes. At times it looked black and other times dark blue. Actually looked horrible i thought.

“so will be seeing the first Croatian kit not to feature red and white checkers since 1994” Our current away kit doesnt have any red and white checkers
Susak,
The simulator is great! I’m going to use that next week.
re: kits
You’re right. The leaked versions are never the same. But like I said in a previous comment, the leaked version wasn’t close to what I saw from Mr. HNS. They look more like the picture I posted above, but not identical.
The actual kits released by nike in early spring are usually much different from the early leaked photos that some guy is putting together in his basement. I wouldnt mind seeing a black jersey though.
Am I the only asshole thats been simulating draws 50 times a day on this website: http://ultra.zone/2018-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Draws
@Iggy- All good brother.
Perisic + Brozo wear black kit at inter. Does that make them Ustasi?
Black is color and every country in the entire world has the right to wear a black uniform.
Brekalo scored today in Stuttgart’s all black kit. Is Brekalo an Ustasa?
Don’t get me wrong, I WANT a black kit! I think it would be sweet.
Im just saying it can’t happen cos we’re not allowed
Like i said, look what happened to Simunic and Dodig. That’s all the evidence you need.
Germans wore black and white during their nazi reign. Did england tell them to not wear black and white uniforms post WW2?
Germany even had red away kits in recent decades. Did the English say anything about that?
Spain allied with facists and Spain has had black kits.
Portugal allied with Franco and portugal has had black kits.
Japan dropped a bomb on America and they still have the same red dotted flag on their kit.
Only yugo and serb scum would associate black kits as negative.
We can proudly wear black, pink, baby blue or whatever color and there is zero need to associate it with anything political or militaristic.
The fact people are even hinting black kit is wrong is wrong in itself.
Whats next? lets abolish the grb because serbs and yugo scum say it was used as a symbol of the Ustasa.
Get a life. We can wear whatever f$5^ing color we like! And no one can say shit!
Croatia is a free nation to do whatever it likes and shall not be influenced by weak scum!
I am the biggest domoljub out there, but i have no respect for ustase
@ Idemo,
Yes sir.
@ante
Was that when cro played Mexico and the Suker interview?
George Costanza once told seinfeld” it’s not a lie .if you believe it”.Yugo gov now wrote the book on backstabbing pathological lying.The good thing is the world is not that stupid..my guess the usa has satellite surveillance of everything demented Yugo leaders planned orchestrated super duper serbia to their sheeple half wit knuckle heads.
@Triggered “Truth”
Busted !!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s quite whimsical kiddo because the more you try to conceal your serbian roots, the more you betray yourself every single time.
Lying is indeed “the greatest virtue of the serbian people”(Dobrica Ćosić)
@ Maminjo and Iggy,
I was going to post this Monday morning but I saw the leak happened yesterday, so it forced my hand.
The jersey I was shown back in April was a mixture of the leaked jersey and the photo I used above. I only saw it for 5 seconds on a cell phone, but the jersey was 100% black, with a light screen of checkers but I do not remember any blue in it. I remember the outline of checkers being grey.
We shall see. Jerseys are typically officially unveiled in the spring.
I think anyone who thinks we can EVER were black is kidding themselves
we can never, ever, ever wear black in any context, it is forbidden
Did you all forget when Dodig had a tiny U on his shirt because it was the sponsor’s logo and he was immedaitely reported for HATE SPEECH
We have to walk on eggshells forever, apparently, cos the Serbs are obsessed with us and they watch everything we do like a jilted ex-lover, just waiting to kick up a stink about something like this
The polos arent theones doing the rounds, it’s this:
https://scontent.fbne3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23559453_1984867768421027_6857242234622127904_n.png?oh=444cfb05f0b704229b495d8f552f8681&oe=5A8BE6CA
The serbs would never allow us to wear black, it will be deemed hate speech and we’ll be kicked out of the tourney if Big Jo’s experience is anything to go by
Those black and grey polos were for World Cup 2014 training staff.
Kovač and his klapa were wearing them during World Cup preparations.

The golf shirts in article photo are from a couple of qualifying cycles ago (either 2012 or 2014, can’t remember). They came in red as well and were available to purchase on a few different online websites.
@Slavonac
Those Jugos back home are fuckin ridiculous. I am waiting for Holiga the loser to put his anti Croatian spin on it.
The black ones are awesome!
We could go all the way in those beauties.
I hate those black/blue/pink(?!) ones from the link though. What the fuck is that?!
If we draw Serbia, we would have to wear the black uniforms when we play them (since we won’t be able to wear the red and white), lol
sublime
Maminjo, go read the comment sections on some of the sports sites in Croatia, its nuts!
Yea, those Ustaša really loved wearing blue checkers and neon socks (smh)
So now Croatia will be the only country that never gets a cool black kit because of this? So stupid.
I’d love the black kits but I’m already seeing people protesting them in Croatia…fuckers!
too many commie’s there, they say the uni’s are a reminder of Crna Legija!
No chance of a black kit…. Do you really think the savez and a sporting company would team up to produce an ustase jersey?
Update your photo above with the link provided by Maks Luburić.
This is the one that has been going around.
They’re amazing uniforms.
Zivas guy?
http://todosobrecamisetas.com/2017/11/croatia-2018-world-cup-kits-leaked/
ZDS !!!!!
Did you guys post this because of the leak yesterday?
The rumored black kits were leaked online yesterday.
They’re black and blue, and they look amazing. The home kits look awesome too.
CRNA LEGIJA
–u–
Are they replacing the blue or the red and white? If it is replacing the blue ones as a 3rd kit, it’s ok. But not if it is replacing the red/white. I hate the collars
Finally! I love the black kit idea but would like to see the red and white checkers implemented somewhere other than in the hns logo. Still cool though.
Disgusting
