Touches of Dutch national pride appear on both the interior and exterior of the jersey. The high-density federation crest is heat pressed to the chest, and “Nederland’” is knit into the back collar. The words ”Oranje” and “Leeuwen” (the team’s nicknames) adorn the inside cuffs of the sleeves while the inside of the body reveals the KNVB badge, a circular graphic celebrating the foundation’s founding in 1889. It is inspired by an early design of the national team’s crest and features the crown worn by the lion in previous crests.

The sides of the kit have a blue stripe that runs the length of the shirt and matching shorts. Expanding when the player is in motion, it maximizes ventilation and reveals flashes of underlying white. Striking blue socks with a linear orange graphic on the calf highlight the most dynamic part of the footballer’s body, the lower legs, to accentuate speed.

The away kit showcases the same innovations and design details as the home kit but with a vibrant tonal blue theme. The away shirt features two-tone Nassau blue with a lighter shade of the color distinguishing the sleeves and upper back. Matching shorts pair with light blue socks featuring a linear Nassau blue graphic on the calf.
