World Cup 2010 Fashion: Holland ‘Celebration’ T-shirts
By Chris Wright
I am officially an idiot.
When I first saw this picture, do you know what my first thought was?
“Why would they put Wayne Rooney‘s face on the inside of a Dutch retro shirt?”
As I say, officially an idiot! On closer inspection, the screaming face in question is fairly obviously that of Holland star Wesley Sneijder.
Anyway, Dutch duo Bas Van der Poel and Daan Van Dam have produced these clever Oranje shirts that, at first glance, appear to be nothing more than your average common-or-garden retro shirt. However, once thrown over your head ‘Ravanelli-style’, the true brilliance of the design is revealed!
You can see more designs (the lack of a Dirk Kuyt option is a glaring oversight) here.

Fking hell, i too thought that was rooney. strange how i never saw the similarity between them
Dude, I thought the same thing too…
I was fooled aswell!
Yet another idiot here…
i thought it was a chimp, but what are you supposed to do when confronted with jug ears, beady eyes and an absurdly round head?
This isn’t an original idea to be fair.
Getafe had the same thing on their jerseys courtesy of their sponsors Burger King. On the inside of the jersey was a pic of the Burger King himself…

Before reading your comment, I thought the exact same thing.
BTW, another Dutch gimmick is a black t-shirt that turns orange if the wearer gets excited (celebrates, shouts). In the commercial for it, you see a Dutch fan ‘accidentally’ spilling sauce on an arrogant german fan’s shirt. He apologetically gives the german his (black) shirt instead. Later, we see the German in the stands shouting his team on whilst his strip slowly turns orange…
