Netherlands national football team has recently received a lot of criticism over their kit. The team played a match against Sweden on 2026-06-20 and won 5-1.

What happened?

During the match, many viewers noticed the same thing: the players of Oranje seemed to form a large orange mass on television. The combination of bright orange shirts, shorts, and socks caused a lot of frustration among supporters.

Why is this a problem?

According to image technician Arnold van den Ham, there is a logical explanation for this. Our eyes can distinguish more colors than televisions can display. It doesn't stop there. On screen, colors are also 'clipped', which causes details in the shirt to disappear.

What's next?

Netherlands national football team will play a match against Tunisia on 2026-06-25. It remains to be seen if the team will make any changes to the kit. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Last result | Netherlands 5-1 Sweden (2026-06-20) | | Next match | vs Tunisia (2026-06-25) |
