williethepimp Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 so,2 questions a la world cup trivia.......italy's flag is red white and green,so why do the team play in blue?.....ALSO....same question regarding Holland/Netherlands....the flag is red white and blue,yet they play in Orange....????......reasons anyone? Quote Link to comment
ciobha Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Netherlands playing in orange has something to do with William of Orange, hasn't it? Not sure why Italy play in blue. Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Netherlands playing in orange has something to do with William of Orange, hasn't it? Not sure why Italy play in blue. correctamundo brother C....in italy the royal family (now gone) was from the House of Savoy...and their colours were royal blue..... so.....when Spain play,the players never sing the national anthem......why is that? Finally....Germany's 2nd (away kit) is green........why is that? (This is actually a famous urban myth question-most people quote the urban myth in the answer) Quote Link to comment
ciobha Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is the Spanish players not singing the national anthem because the Barcelona contingent consider themselves Catalan and don't recognise the national anthem, so the team don't want to cause friction with their team mates, something along those lines??

Quote Link to comment
ciobha Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 So if it's a bit of a trick question, then my guess is they don't sing it because there are no words??? Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 So if it's a bit of a trick question, then my guess is they don't sing it because there are no words??? correctamundo again brother C....yes,the anthem has no words.......... You want me to give you the German away kit answer...? Quote Link to comment
duke007 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Edited Ciobha already answered about the Spanish Anthem having no words Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yes please well ,the urban myth usually quoted as the reason the Germans 2nd kit is green and white is because Ireland were the first team that consented to play them after WW2,and as a memory of this,they don Ireland's colours ......have you heard that before? its not true actually,switzerland were the first team to play them,and the green and white are the colours of the german football logo....green grass and white markings.... I wish it were true(the urban myth),but it ain't.... Quote Link to comment
