Holland 2007-09 Away Kit
When one thinks of Holland on the pitch, the thoughts tend to veer toward a bright orange home kit that has become a staple of the Holland squad. Do not worry, that is still the standard home kit through this year and check back when Holland unveils their home kit for 2008. What many do not know is that, like everyone else, they have an Away kit that is another color.
The kit that Holland will wear for their away matches in the Euro 2008 and until the 2009 campaign will be a light blue wih the Dutch badge on the left chest. What makes this kit unique is the red, white and blue stripes that go across the kit. These are the same colors that are in the badge and also the same color blue that is on the Nike logo and the front of the collar. This is a nice kit, but I do not like the color choice. As a third kit that is worn on occassion maybe, but not as a permanent away kit. I am giving this kit 3 out of 5 stars because of the color and the stripes. It just does not flow well enough for my taste.

This reminds me a lot of the light blue jerseys USA wore in the 1990s. Different collar, of course.
Guy,
The red, white and blue stripes correspond to the Flag of the Netherlands. Like, or not, the color palette is relevant.
Light blue is the color of the Dutch royal family, that is why they chose that hue.
The colour palette may be relevant, but it just doesn’t work well. I’ve seen far better away kits from them in the past.
