The Croatian collection reworks the iconic red-and-white checkerboard pattern. The home jersey features a discontinuous checkered design that gives more prominence to white, a color associated with purity. The away kit offers a gradient from dark blue to electric light blue at the top, also arranged in a checkered motif.

2. Saudi Arabia’s Home and Away Kits

Saudi Arabia’s kits mark a notable departure from previous understated designs. The home jersey is dominated by a print that echoes falcon feathers, a motif also reflected in the crest. The away shirt uses multiple shades of green in an irregular pattern, creating a striking visual effect.

1. Nigeria’s Collection (Non-Qualifiers)

Even though Nigeria did not qualify for the World Cup, its Nike kit collection is the most memorable of the release. The home jersey contrasts dark green with neon green, with a print of various figures and patterns characteristic of the country that appears to be in constant motion. The away jersey is simpler, featuring a single detail running from the shoulders to the sleeves.
