The first choice jersey colours of some national teams are so iconic. The Dutch and their vibrant orange kit. The Brazilians with their fun and lively yellow tops. The famous Italian blue steel. The Germans and their typically efficient, no frills white and black ensemble. The Argentines matching their flair and pizzazz with their snazzy white and blue stripes. The lush green of Nigeria (and also Ireland, Mexico, Saudi Arabia etc).
It would be easy to assume all these countries use colours from their national flags. You assume wrong. Although many of them actually do, others don’t.
