Copa Football Netherlands World Cup 1978 Retro Jacket

Description

Take to the streets in retro style with the Copa Football Netherlands World Cup 1978 Retro Jacket in Orange, a comfortable overlayer packed with Dutch pride.

A perfect recreation of the Netherlands’ 1978 World Cup off-pitch gear, the Copa Football Netherlands World Cup 1978 Retro Jacket combines comfortable modern

materials with striking 70s aesthetics to elevate your wardrobe, whether you’re cheering the Oranje on from the stands or showing your style on the street. The distinctive all-orange base, bold black contrast detailing at collar and cuffs and old-school rampant lion national crest transport you back to the days of Johan Neeskens, Ruud Krol and Johnny Rep.
Having shocked the world with their incredible run to the final of the 1974 World Cup, Dutch hearts were broken in a legendary deciding game with West Germany. In the following 1978 tournament, now without national icon Johan Cruyff, the Netherlands continued their impressive performances, winning the second group stage to avenge the 1974 result by knocking their West German rivals out, qualifying for a second consecutive World Cup final in the process. Unfortunately, they were defeated again, this time by the Mario Kempes-led hosts Argentina, but the period is still fondly remembered by Dutch fans as one where the Oranje regularly competed for the highest honours in world football.

The ultra-soft cotton blend fabric provides easy, all-day comfort in any situation, from five-a-side and travel to casual kickabouts or just chilling at home. Front pockets provide handy storage on the go, and ribbing at the hem and cuffs works with a raised collar to trap heat and keep you warm on chilly winter days. Premium packaging provides a satisfying unboxing experience befitting of a true collector’s piece.
