There is a story circulating that Holland, when they play England on Feb 9th, will not play in their normal orange, but in a black and white kit. It's part of an initiative by Nike, to reinforce the anti-racism message, and is considered particularly appropriate, after the treatment England players received in Spain.
Not sure about the authenticity, but if it's true is it a good idea, or a bit idealistic?

A nice gesture of support but not as effective as grabbing the nobs back the scruff of the neck and throwing em out.
