I'm sure shoe manufacturers don't want to hurt sales, but why doesn't FIFA enforce those colors as well? Socks need to clash for seeing offsides plays. The foot is almost never considered offsides by itself, it's the rest of the leg that decides it. That's why they aren't as stringent about shoe colors.

moosebean11 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I bet we'll see the same kit matchup as the 98 semi-final. The only change I could see happening is Croatia possibly using their blue socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Unless they put them in their secondary kits, this should be the matchup. Not the best either squad have looked, but decent overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Who is the home team? I wonder if Croatia will feel like their dark jersey is lucky! I think another nice looking match would be France in B/W/B and Croatia in R/W/R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 My guess is we’re going to see Croatia in red checkers with white shorts/socks and France in all blue (with a dark horse chance that they go blue socks/red socks, respectively) My second guess is Croatia in all black and France in all white. I’d be shocked if it weren’t one of those two matchups based on what we’ve seen at the last few World Cups.

_RH_ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Only a few games I could find had teams with semi similar shorts colors, and they were all dark, not white: Nigeria (green) vs Argentina (black) South Korea (black) vs Mexico (burgundy) Saudi Arabia (green) vs Egypt (black) If they insist on shorts clashing (I don't see how this could really be needed), maybe the answer is to suggest dark jerseys wear white shorts. At least mono matches would be avoided! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm holding out hope that France will do the right thing, and go BWR and force Croatia to go WR/Black/Bl Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd77 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 If some of these websites would actually have some Nike Croatia apparel I'd be thrilled. Seems like they all must have had about 2 of each size and it was all gone in early May already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it that Croatia isn't a popular team like Brazil, Germany, or Argentina. But considering the worldwide audience for this tournament, the stuff is going to sell, regardless of team. Very disappointing to see the variety of apparel available for some of these teams was next to nothing, and what was available was obviously very low stock right from the beginning so it didn't last long...and it doesn't seem like any of it ever gets re-stocked either.

aawagner011 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 This is a crime. There is zero reason for this. Red socks does not clash with Croatia, neither of the keepers, nor the officials. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red shirt and red sox could clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
