The Netherlands national football team does not wear the colors of the Dutch flag of today, but instead plays in bright orange. Orange is the historic national colour of the Netherlands, originating from the coat of arms of the Dutch founding father William of Orange-Nassau.
The title of Prince of Orange became synonymous with the Governor of the Netherlands. Prince of Orange is a title of nobility, originally associated with the principality of Orange in the valley of Rhone in southern France. Since 1983, the heir to the Dutch throne, whether male or female, bears the title Prince or Princess of Orange.
