On Thursday, Heerenveen unveiled the team’s new away kit for the upcoming season. The kit is made in the club’s traditional colors – blue, red and white. The main color of the T-shirt is red and there are white and blue stripes on the sleeves. On social media, Heerenveen fans started criticizing the club for having sleeves that look like the Russian flag. However, the new kit is almost an exact replica of the kit from the 1993/94 season, when the club reached the Premier League in the local league.
“Heerenveen Football Club released a red away shirt and the sleeve has the club colors just like the home shirt – white and blue. It’s only a small sleeve, to be honest, but it created such a story The local fans they see the Russian flag and it causes negative emotions. Some even wrote that the owners of the club are Russian or support Putin. However, the general opinion in the Netherlands is clearly against this. Moreover, the Russian club CSKA has not been fully paid the amount for the transfer of Ejuka, which also causes discontent.
In general, the club from Heerenveen were very unlucky with the choice of kit design. Although the club have not commented on this situation, and although Heerenveen may change their shirts, it is not known if they will. The idea of abandoning the use of Russian symbols, including the flag, is common in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. After such cases there is always a lot of criticism,” Lammers said in an interview with Sport24.
