tbh it's pretty crazy to me that croatia is leaving nike this year, but i think it's a good idea atp. I have no clue what nike was cooking for croatia these past few years, and I'm excited to see what adidas will do next. this jersey itself is just weird, kinda looks like one of those fan concepts lol.



Anyways as for the jersey itself, the crest seems to be aligned with the nike swoosh which is aligned with the number 10, (pretty easy to tell cuz of the design lol). There does seem to be some tilt regarding that croatia crest, but it still seems to overall be straight. I do how the crest and the nike logo are stitched and not heatpressed for this jersey, which is why I went for the fan version on this one lol. I do like how the numbers have that pattern etched thru-out them; i think it adds js a bit of character which is nice lol. Unfortunately, the white area which connects to the red collar does seem to have some red bleeding into it. This is pretty unrelated, but this jersey really reminds me of that stereotypical pizza kitchen floor. (if you know what i'm saying lol)



As for the back of the jersey, the font makes it pretty hard to tell if the number & nameset is aligned centrally. The varying widths of the diff letters makes it tedious, but i'd say the nameset aligns pretty well with the number.  There does seem to be some tilt because it looks like the 0 is closer to the bottom than the 1 but idrk. The back number and nameset have that same effect as in the front number which I do always appreciate. The piping though- i mean what's going on in that right side? The left side seems fine, but the right side... I don't get why sellers always tend to get this wrong.



As for sizing, i opted to size up just once from my size for authentic fan version jerseys (which is size L), so I sized up to size XL. This was def the right decision as the whole jersey fit me well with a good length. My main qualms are with the fit of the sleeves. They are pretty loose, which is a bit annoying but I can live with it. Aside from that, the sizing seems fine so yeah.



Overall, I'd say pretty satisfied with the jersey itself, the bleeding is a bit annoying but whatever. QC was a bit slow but I guess it was the world cup at that time, so that was expected ig.
