Hey Netherlands: First, come along, see the light, join the party. Secondly, dump those tangerine orange soccer uniforms.

They're that color for a reason. The House of Orange are the ancient monarchs of the Netherlands. King William III of the Netherlands married Queen Anne and became co-monarch of England in 1688, deposing England's last Catholic monarch. This pleased Protestant Northern Ireland considerably, which is why they're the Orangemen.
