The Netherlands will have a lot to play for in Qatar, as they failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA world cup. Their failure in qualification meant they were unable to compete at the top level and take another shot at winning international silverware. It has been tough for them, ever since they lost their talismans in Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben and Sneijder and more.
With the world cup in their sites and a strong young team on the plane, they will look to make a mark on the world cup and ensure that they take their momentum and keep it rolling for future tournaments as well. They haven’t always had the best kits, but some of their kits are known as the best designs of any team in history.
Netherlands Team FIFA World Cup Kit
The Dutch are not the most stylish in their kits, but they are kits that are remembered. This time, however, they do not have the best of kits in general opinion. Their kits look dull and blunt and do not inspire the neatness that is usually expected of a Dutch kit from past experiences.
Nike are the kit manufacturer for The Netherlands, and, the emblem of the Oranjje FA is on the opposite side of the Nike logo, and this is the case for both sets of jerseys. There are two separate kits, as always, one being the orange and the other being the cobalt blue jersey.
The orange kit has not gone down well, in general opinion, with the kit having a shiny look to it and the fabric makes it seem a mixture of gold and orange instead of their traditional orange and it is a bold step, but the designers did not take it into account the possible negative reception of this kit and how it may not sit well with the fans. The logo and emblem are in black, it seems, which is unusual, given the association with blue and its availability.
The cobalt kit is a bit too dark, and although it is neat and does look good, it does not do enough to entice a good reaction at first glance. The tinge and hints of orange do well with the blue but not enough to warrant wearing it as a fashionable and stylish piece of clothing as many others in place of theirs are available as a stylish top.
