Spain cutting them open
Someone posted it earlier:Why is neither team wearing 'home' colours when there would quite clearly be no clash?
From reddit regarding the kits;
For each match, the team listed first (on FIFA's website) is designated as the home side.
• Since this match is listed as "Spain v Netherlands", Spain receives first choice of which kit to wear.
• Spain selects all-red.
• Since Holland's Orange clashes with red, Holland must switch to blue.
• But according to the regulations, we now have a case of dark colored kit v dark colored kit.
• With Spain's alternate kit being all-black, FIFA inform Spain and their kit manufacturer (Adidas) that a light colored kit needs to be submitted to comply with FIFA regulations.
• All-white is chosen and will be worn against Holland.
• This means Holland can switch to orange right? Wrong. Orange is deemed to be Holland's light colored kit, so white v orange would mean light kit v light kit.
• For this match, Spain will wear white and Holland will dress in blue.
Because FIFA says Spain's red counts as a dark jersey rather than a light one. Their away jersey is black, so it's also dark.Why is neither team wearing 'home' colours when there would quite clearly be no clash?
Because you can't play a dark colour vs a dark colour or a light vs a light, FIFA thought Spain's dark red kit and Hollands dark blue kit would watch so Spain had to make a white kit.Why is neither team wearing 'home' colours when there would quite clearly be no clash?
