2014 Season Netherlands Away Matches

The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil saw this deep blue away kit become the symbol of the Dutch team's legendary revenge, while also taking center stage due to FIFA's broadcast regulations: In their opening group match against defending champions Spain, wearing this jersey, Robin van Persie scored with a diving header and Arjen Robben sealed the deal with a solo strike. The 5-1 victory delivered sweet revenge, cementing the deep blue kit as a “symbol of comebacks.” In the knockout stage, it witnessed more miracles: a penalty shootout victory over Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, a heartbreaking semifinal loss to Argentina, and a dominant 3-0 triumph over Brazil in the third-place match. This bronze medal performance etched the “Iron Generation” into history. Robben's dazzling dribbles and Van Gaal's tactical brilliance became timeless memories woven into this blue jersey.
The away kit reimagines glory in “Nassau Blue”: its deep navy base pays homage to the blue elements of the historic Dutch Prince's Orange flag while continuing the blue heritage of Dutch away jerseys. The enlarged white lion crest on the left chest stands out prominently. Designed to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Dutch Football Association, this new emblem embodies the core values of “Sincerity, Honor, and Unity.” The iconic Adidas three-stripes on the shoulders feature a contrasting silver color, sharply distinguishing it from the home orange kit. Lightweight ClimaCool fabric replaces traditional heavy materials, balancing on-field breathability with a retro silhouette.
This jersey stands as a testament to the Netherlands' redemption against Spain, while also serving as a modern continuation of the team's iconic blue away kit heritage. Wearing it allows you to revisit the thrilling moments of that 5-1 victory, while also keeping the retro trend—blending historical depth with modern technology—alive across time.
