The Netherlands, along with Belgium, has never won the World Cup, while only eight countries have experienced the No. 1 ranking in the world rankings published by FIFA since 1993. Did you know that the strong image of orange, which is not used in the national flag or emblem, is related to the country's history? The reason is that the word “Oranje,” which means orange in English, was used by the Oranje-Nassau family, which still rules as a royal family since independence in the 16th century, and orange had taken root as the national color even before the current flag was adopted. The away team has a hexagonal gradation of orange on its chest, which was inspired by Hans Lipperhey, who is said to have been one of the first people in the world to develop a practical telescope. The design follows the logic of a telescope's lens that focuses light to a single point, and the hexagonal orange tones converge toward the center of the chest in an optical design. The “Oranje” on the back of the collar is also a nifty touch.
