2010 World Cup Kits

[Saintsfan]

I'd be amazed if the Dutch don't have a set of white or orange shorts tucked away somewhere. If the Dutch play Germany in the final, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dutch go with all orange, if they need to change there shorts. That would be a reprise of the Euro 88 final kit.

I think during the last World Cup the Dutch did wear orange shorts, at least once that I remember, even though they weren't officially part of their kit.

Suprised Argentina wasn't in blue shorts or Germany in white shorts to clash. Jumping ahead (way ahead!) do you guys see a potential Germany/Holland final a kit rematch of '74 as well? (Germany: white/black, Holland: orange/white). Also, as much as I love the Nike "write the future" commercial, I think it's funny how one of the "background" teams , Holland, may be the lone Nike kit in the final. I know the Dutch lack superstars on the level of those in the ads, just think it's ironic on a team play level.

It could be that Nike decided to emphasize other national teams because because Holland had such a strong presence in the previous Nike football "Take It to the Next Level" campaign that ran during Euro 2008. Who knows...

If Germany and the Netherlands make it to the final, they'll definitely both be wearing their traditional colours - Germany White shirt black shorts, and the Netherland an orange kit with white shorts.

Do Holland even have white shorts with their current kit? The primary shorts are black and the clash shorts they have worn so far are blue, so if Germany get to wear their primaries, then Holland will be in orange jerseys and blue shorts (unless they have a third white). If Holland get to wear primaries, than Germany should be in all white.

Great point about the "Take it to the next level" campaign...

They actually wore all-orange every game during 2006, except during the Battle of Nuremburg where Portugal forced them into their change kits. I remember being mad because their uniforms with the white shorts looked MUCH better. They definitely could've/should've Serbia/Montenegro that year.

Look at this

Compared to this

I actually spent Euro 08 hoping that they wouldn't bust out the all-orange look. Thank God they got it right. This is still, IMO, the best that they've looked since the 70s.

I have that exact Jersey, I may need to break it out tomorrow.

What brand of boot is Mr. Van Basten wearing? Little curly to be a swoosh...

And all orange it is...

[chestnutz]

yup, definitely prefer the black shorts (even white would look great)

Random question, Did Germany's crest during the 1934 and 1938 world cup have a swatstika? Yes I've researched on GOOGLE and couldn't find anything, I thought this would be the most appropriate thread.

[Saintsfan]

I can't find any photographs of a Nazi era soccer uniform, the closest being some unclear images from an infamous Germany vs England match, when English players were made (in fact made may be too strong a word) to give a Nazi salute. here is a getty image That doesn't seem to have a Swastika on it.

[patsox]

i love the all orange uniforms!

[NEW.ERA]

They did bring Oranje shorts with them!

Also the Dutch will have first choice in kits, Break out the Carrots again.

[chestnutz]

my guess is holland will wear orange-black, with germany going black tops and white shorts.

[raysox]

Does anyone else think that the Dutch's kits are TOO orange? Like the orange/black seems to just darken the whole set. The orange/white/light blue works better.

[NEW.ERA]

I love the all Oranje look.

So what if they look like Safety Pylon's.

[tBBP]

If any of you watched that match in HD, you're probably in need of LASIK right about now.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing them again in the final. Hell, they're the Oranje...make it all the way oranje!!1
