International Guest Concepts

Team Netherlands, by Jake88:

Jake88 is back with concepts for two more countries, starting with the Netherlands.  I love the sash stripe, you don't see it very often but it works perfectly on this concept.  The orange and white colour scheme is also great.  I think the black equipment is a smart move since orange would make the uniforms too bright, but I'd eliminate the black on the sleeve cuffs (but that's a very minor complaint).  I have to say this is one of the best Netherlands concept I've ever seen (I don't think I've seen many Netherlands concepts).

Team Slovenia, by Jake88:

For his second concept Jake88 tackles Slovenia, who appeared in their first Olympic games this year.  I feel like these jerseys are more refined versions of what Slovenia wore at the Olympics.  I really like most of the differences, like adding sleeve stripes, using royal blue equipment, and using blue numbers on the white jersey.  On thing I preferred on the Olympic jerseys was the mountain striping, the sublimated design on this concept is still good, but it doesn't make as much as a statement as the mountains on the Olympic jerseys.  Another thing I don't really like is how the yoke on the white jersey doesn't extend down all the way in the back.  I know a few teams had yokes like that in the Olympics, but I don't think it's a good look.  Even with those few complaints I still think this concept is a big improvement over their Olympic jerseys.
