The future’s bright, the future’s white and orange
If you’re an Irish person with typically white pasty skin then very bright clothes are probably not a big part of your wardrobe. And orange clothes are pretty much banned. That’s why you don’t tend to see too many people wearing Holland jersey’s at any time of the year, no matter how much they like to think they are Arjen Robben’s long-lost Irish cousin.
But white, well that’s different. It’s a colour that Irish people can pull off once they don’t team it with white shorts and white socks and shoes too to look like some kind of banshee.
So the new Netherlands away jersey should see you avoid this perilous fashion faux pas with its classic blend of white top and orange shorts with some very interesting shorts.
It looks like some of the white has dripped onto the bottom of the material or else it’s the strange mix of coulors when your super-split mixes with the ice-cream and it goes all rainbow-like. Either way we really like them.

They won’t make you play like Robben or Robin Van Persie but at least you’ll have fun pretending to score headers from 25 yards out. The new kit is modeled here by Gregory van der Wiel and the boffins behind the kit say that the new design highlights ‘the speed and attacking play’ of the team throughout history.
Wonder how a designer would symbolise in-fighting and sulking and years of underachievement?
