In Holland, the color orange stands for showing pride of your national sports team. The most commen sports would be football (soccer) or ice-skating. ofcourse it stands for more than just sports... it' stands for a unification of all inhabitants of the Netherlands, showing a tribute to their royals. Not many countries still have such a royal following and The Netherlands is one of those countries where "Queensday" is still heavily celebrated and respected. In sports terms the national sports teams traditionally dress in orange in honor of the Queen. And so do al the loyal followers of any move their sportsmen and -women make. It's the sports-nationalism even the English can't measure with. And strangly enough, it isn't a case of agressive hooliganims... it's actually one almost as peaceful as the Jamaicans passin on the dutchy on the left hand (please). An awesome display of peaceful unification and surely one hell of an atmosphere!
