The Best Retro Netherlands Football Shirt

Retro shirts are something special that evokes a feeling of nostalgia that can’t be beaten! Let’s take a look at some retro Dutch football shirts. 

2006 Home

Nike designed this football shirt that the Dutch football team wore in 2006. Naturally, it’s orange and is pretty simple but that’s part of its charm. 

The collar and V-neck opening keep it low-key and let the white and gold crest shine.

1985 Home

Netherlands’ home 1985 shirt, again, lets the orange shine but this time is joined by white stripes along the shoulders around the collarless V-neck. 

This football shirt by Adidas has the original logo - we told you it had all the nostalgic feels!

2010 Home

For the 2010 World Cup, Nike decided to go back to the traditional black and orange kit, and we saw a lot of it! The Dutch team made it all the way to the finals but lost out to the Spanish football team 1-0.

1994 Home

This retro Netherlands football shirt was worn by the legendary Dennis Bergkamp! Former Dutch team player and now coach. However, he’s also known as one of the best forwards in the Premier League and donned an Arsenal shirt back in the day.

The 1994 shirt features the classic lion motif of the Netherlands kits as well as a red, blue, and white collar and cuffs.

1988 Home

We couldn’t have a best retro Dutch football shirts list and not include this one!

Perhaps one of the best-known Netherlands jerseys, it has a slightly more subtle orange that has a white gradient in a geometric print design. 

Do the cuffs and collar give anyone else sweatband vibes? Well, it was the 80s…

2000 Home

The Netherlands football team co-hosted the 2000’s Euro alongside Belgium - the first time it had been hosted by more than one nation. 

The orange shirt was slightly deeper in tone and was joined by black cuffs, collar, and badges. Unfortunately, this Nike shirt didn’t see the team lift any trophies (or come near to…)

2012 Home

The Oranje really lived up to their name with this football shirt! The quadrant design with red accents brings something new to Dutch football shirts. 

The black cuffs and line at the bottom of the shirt perhaps give a flag energy to the shirt, but it’s still a corker!
