    Islamic inscriptions, such as "takbir" which is on this flag, as well as the "shahada" which is on Saudi Arabia's flag, are usually considered holy and sacred, and they are not usually made into handflags, or other merchandises such as t-shirts or whatsoever.

    I'm only just to point things out and doesn't want to offend anyone by this.

    For most of the nations that haven't a strong football history, they are replaying the national flag on the shirt. I choose Coatia hoping that I could get the classic red/white chess shirt, but they put a blue one

    But you knew what Croatia shirt you were getting before you picked it
    So why would you hope to get something different ?

    Maybe there is a second shirt...
    Anyway I'm a fan of '98 Croatia, so I don't regret my choose at all.
