The new kit is a tribute to Fortuna '54, the predecessor of the Eredivisionist, which won its first major national title in 1957. Bram Appel's hat-trick secured a 4-2 victory over Feyenoord in the final. The club is now reviving the white shirt with the tricolor, which was previously worn in international matches and special national fixtures. VoetbalPrimeur reports that the kit will be worn in the upcoming KNVB Beker match against Sparta Rotterdam, the only Eredivisie opponent in the first round. Fans will not be able to have their name printed on the shirt, and the club has chosen not to include any sponsors to maintain the original design.
