<\/a><\/p>\nThe three-time FIFA World Cup finalists 2016\/17 home and away kits were unveiled by technical sponsor Nike on Monday. The home shirt is in the classic orange of the Dutch while the alternate sees the Netherlands return to a blue change kit after wearing while in 2015. Both jerseys will be available at\u00a0at\u00a0World Soccer Shop<\/a>, Subside Sports<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>Lovell Soccer<\/a>,\u00a0UK Soccer Shop<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and Kitbag<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Nike: Marrying classic orange with Nassau blue, 2016 Netherlands kits encapsulate traditional Dutch values of bravery, leadership and loyalty, while cutting-edge AeroSwift technology enables on-pitch focus by reducing distractions for Dutch athletes.<\/p>\n \u201cPlaying for your country is the pinnacle for a footballer and I love what the new kit stands for. We are ready to fight for the shirt and show we can compete with the best teams in the world,\u201d proclaims Riechedly Bazoer. \u201cThe new kit looks fantastic and we will do what we can to show our quality when we wear it for the first time against France.\u201d<\/p>\n While the new Holland home shirt remains trademark orange, it has been augmented with Nassau blue on the collar, crest and side stripes. On the chest, engineered knit zones create a geometric pattern that enhances fit, with smaller mesh shapes at the bottom of the graphic.<\/p>\n Touches of Dutch\u00a0national pride appear on both the interior and exterior of the jersey. The high-density federation crest is heat pressed to the chest, and \u201cNederland\u2019\u201d is knit into the back collar. The words \u201dOranje\u201d and \u201cLeeuwen\u201d (the team\u2019s nicknames) adorn the inside cuffs of the sleeves while the inside of the body reveals the KNVB badge, a circular graphic celebrating the foundation\u2019s founding in 1889. It is inspired by an early design of the national team\u2019s crest and features the crown worn by the lion in previous crests.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
