These are the shorts that the Dutch National team players wore, home and away, to qualify for the World Cup. Embroidered KNVB Lion crest at the right thigh, applied transfer red and white stripes behind the slip, a covered mesh panel at the inseam for flexibility and ventilation, and a full-flank mesh panel. This is Nike’s best football apparel, designed and crafted for the KNVB.
The Dutch are famous for organized play and Total Football, having exported many of the greatest managers working in the game today. At the height of their success in the ‘70s, the Oranje played their way to consecutive World Cup Finals, losing both times to the hosts.
