Home Away From Home: Croatia

Red and white. The checks. One look and you know exactly who someone is, and where they're from. Croatians brought the pattern with them. Across the water, into new cities, onto grounds that had never seen it. They put it on a shirt and built clubs around it.

Clubs like Melbourne Knights. Somewhere to speak the language, hear the songs, and watch your kids grow up in the same colours you did. Not just a team. A home.

That's what this kit carries. The coast and the club. The old country and the new suburb. The grandfather who arrived and the grandkid born here, both in the same red and white.

Some things you don't leave behind. You wear them.

This is Home Away From Home, Part 1: Croatia.

The kit is online now.
