Holland WC 74 kits detailed

The 1974 FIFA World Cup Finalist Holland team kits manufacture by Adidas on that tournament.
The orange Adidas shirts with the three bands down the sleeve, white (sometimes black) shorts and orange socks. Distinctive, bright, very 1970s, it spoke about the team that wore it like no other kit could, and it would still look cool today.

Netherlands football team is colloquially referred to as 'Oranje', a tribute to the House of Orange-Nassau final match against West Germany, with the West Germans winning 2–1. The Holland opened the scoring via a Johan Neeskens penalty in the second minute, only for Paul Breitner to equalise with another penalty in the 25th minute before Gerd Müller scored the winning goal in the 43rd minute, claiming West Germany's second FIFA World Cup.


The Netherlands national football team famously play in a bright orange shirt. Orange is the historic national colour of the Netherlands, originating from the coat of arms of the Dutch founding father William of Orange-Nassau. On that tournament, the team worn with two design home shirt first the wrap-over round neck (long sleeve) and the v-neck. These tournament shirt was quite a unique design, let down only by its big team logo applied on the left chest.

In keeping with FIFA's obsession with tampering with kits, Holland also changed their shirts, into white, the kits was worn only once during the match Group A, Wednesday 3rd July 1974
against Brazil at the Westphalia Stadium, Dortmund.











These logo I'm worked out not perfectly 100% accurate, but I think it's worth it similar as the references.
