World Cup 2010 Jersey Discussion Thread

Come on now. They wear an all orange kit every damn year. You just need to watch more Holland games

 

Hope your right! Go Oranje!

 

I agree, im pretty sure Holland are the home team. I brought the shirt today. Only one they had left in the store and it was in my size. I'm taking this as a good sign for Sunday!!!!

That's not actually accurate. The reason they wear orange is because William of Orange was Protestant- and orange is the colour of Protestants. This religious stance was taken over to the Netherlands, and with it went the colour orange. It became adopted by the country from there on in. Not sure if that's why William of Orange became known as William of Orange, or whether it was just a coincidence.

 

congrats on gettin the last one.

before the cup started, i bought one of each to add to my collection. a netherlands home van der vaart and spain away alonso.

and i saw that the winner of match 61, which is netherlands, will be the "home" team.

 

He was "known" as William of Orange just because he was William, Prince of Orange.

 

^^^ Definitely. He was of the House of Orange, which was around long before the Protesant Reformation. It's like being a Tudor or from the House of York in England. I think the color is associated with Protestants b/c William of Orange joined in wars against Catholic France.

 

I want to get the Spain away one, its a really nice shirt. Id like it in long sleeve though.

yea theres a couple of long sleeve kits i'd kill for.

Mexico away
Germany away
Spain away

too bad they don't make em long sleeve..

 

who do u guys is going to get the cup?

 

"Just because" isn't a legitimate reason as to where his title came from.

 

I love reading these forums just for moments like these.

I reckon the Uruguay home shirt with it's dodgy collar is the most strange piece of apparel in this WC.

 

Huh? He inherited it from his father. I don't get your problem?

 

If Spain wins then this will be the new shirt.

 

^^ just saw that on the tv when they changed to the red jerseys. that star, imho, is a tad on the large side. makes me think of china...lol

 

Hahaha, well if you've got it flaunt it!!!

to bad gli azzurri have 4 *cough* lol .

 

just ordered a uruguay home with forlan printing!

 

That's interesting!

 

any idea what was printed on the back of the Spain jerseys just below the colar? it was 4 letters

 

i believe it's R.F.E.F.

Real Federación Española de Fútbol

 

Would any one agree that the new away juve jersey is one of the ugliest this yer

 

i would agree that the new juve jerseys have nothing to do with the world cup.
