Sort of OT: Uniforms

[longtimefan]

What's with the Netherlands ("OnsOranje") wearing all-blues?

You'd think they were SU football.

Seriously.

Syracuse just embarrasses itself and disrespects its alumni to the college football fan.

The Netherlands just embarrassed itself and disrespected its countrymen to the World.

FIFA forced them to wear blue. They also forced Spain to wear white when they're famous for wearing red. I guess because orange and red are too similar, they didn't let either team wear the color they're famous for.

FIFA is real good at making stupid decisions.

Spain white vs Holland orange.

Spain red vs Holland white.

Being Dutch, and a Syracuse fan, I kinda expected it.

I love Hollands kits most years. The blue with orange looked sharp and the orange with white as well. I'd be 100% ok if we copied those combos for SU football.

FIFA is real good at making stupid decisions. Spain white vs Holland orange. Spain red vs Holland white.

Apparently FIFA doesn't allow both teams to wear light or dark kits. Spain was the "home" team so their first choice red kit would not work with either of the Netherlands' kits. So Spain had to go white, and orange was out because it would have been two light kits, hence the blue. Stupid is as FIFA does.

I seem to remember that in the final 4 years ago, it was blue vs orange.
