There is no kit quite like the Dutch one
Netherlands reached the semi-finals at Euro 2024 and made the quarter-finals at Qatar 2022. They are not a sentimental pick — they are a serious one. They land in Group F with Japan, Tunisia and a playoff winner.
The design
Electric orange Nike home shirt that feels unmistakably Dutch. The 2026 version sharpens the lion crest detailing and adds a subtle Dutch-tile pattern weave on the shoulders. Paired with black shorts. The orange is brighter than recent releases and looks unbelievable on TV.
Who to watch
Virgil van Dijk the captain and rock at the back. Xavi Simons stepping into the creative number-10 role. Cody Gakpo running the line. Add Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay and the squad has elite quality across all phases.
Why you should care
Dutch orange is one of the all-time great football kit colours. If you have never owned a Netherlands home shirt, this is a great one to start with. The Van Dijk and Gakpo names will both be huge sellers.
