Mišo Kovač is generally accepted as a charismatic and icon of Dalmatia, especially the football club Hajduk Split and the Torcida fan group, although at his concerts he often appeals to the "all-Croatian unity" of Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk fans. In Hajduk's jersey number 9, he performed at Stadion Poljud before the derby between Hajduk and Dinamo in 2001, performing his songs related to Dalmatia. His songs about Dalmatia like "Noćas ćemo zemlji ko materi reći", but also love songs like "Samo nas nebo rastavit može" (Only the Heaven Can Do Us Apart), as well as paraphrases of his verses became part of Torcida's choreography and fan slogans. According to the covers of his albums, numerous graffiti were created in Dalmatia, and one of his most recognizable images, taken from a photograph by M. Čolić from Studio, with sunglasses, a sailor's T-shirt and a gold chain, was chosen for the cover of the five-way sound carrier, 100 originalnih hitova – Mišo Kovač, released in May 2012. This cover is also found on numerous T-shirts and souvenirs on the Adriatic coast. Ivana Kovač wore a T-shirt with the same character in the video for her song "Dalmacijo, srce oca moga". Another image closely related to Mišo Kovač is his recognizable pose during concerts, in which he lets the audience sing his songs with open arms. Julije Jelaska also published a comic about Mišo Kovač, with the lyrics of the song "Dalmacija u mom oku" and "Ostala si uvijek ista". His song "Poljubi zemlju" (Kiss the Land) became the unofficial anthem of the Croatia men's national water polo team, which sang it after winning the 2012 Olympic tournament in London and during the reception ceremony in Zagreb, together with the audience.
