Clockwork Orange

The Netherlands have come out of nowhere to shock the Euro 2008 favorites this week, completely destroying Italy 3-0 and France 4-1.  Who saw this coming?  Well, if completely rad uniforms were any indicator, I would have picked the Dutch right from the start.  


The white numbering is a definite upgrade from the previous black on orange combination, and the switch to light blue socks better compliments the shirt with a more subtle contrast.  I must also say that I'm big on the block style numbering as well, which helps give the Dutch uni's a decidedly retro feel. 

Why was I rooting for ze Germans?
