Dutch side Vitesse Arnheim, launched next season’s home kit early! They found the perfect occasion: the KNVB Cup final, taking place today at De Kuip, Feyenoord’s home ground. Their opponents are AZ Alkmaar.
Founded on 14th May 1892, Vitesse has never won the cup or a national title before. Is this the perfect occasion? The season bodes well for Vitas. They beat AZ 2 – 1 at home before drawing 2 – 2 in Alkmaar. Vitesse are currently sixth in the Eredivisie, one place and a point behind AZ, with two games to go.
A strong link with Chelsea gives them a steady flow of the west London club’s young starlets. As well as that stream of players, Rocky van Wolfswinkel is familiar to Norwich City fans. They also have one of European football’s best-named midfielders: Marvelous Nakamba.

The evenly spaced stripes across front meet on the back with a solid black panel for player identification. It’s completed with yellow sleeve cuffs.
The club crest features a “125 Years” tag while on the reverse of the shoulders, the same motif is embossed on the shirt.
