Orange Fever...

The Dutch really love their football. While the Dutch team was still alive in the World Cup, there was a very festive atmosphere all over town with flags and orange banners galore. The stores were filled with orange gadgets. Some items were actually banned from football stadiums because they violated the official sponsors' rights. Here are John and Sally modelling Heineken's "secret weapon"; a plain green hunters cap that could easily make it past stadium security that transforms into a megaphone with the Heineken logo. Apparently Budweiser, an official World Cup sponsor despite being bad American beer, wasn't amused and the hats were eventually banned. The funniest ban was the Bavaria lederhosen (orange shorts with suspenders and a fuzzy orange lion's tail). Stadium security actually made fans take them off which resulted in 100's of hatless people entering the stadium in their underwear. Maybe if some of those corporate sponsors were made to attend a game in their underwear, they'd lighten up and realize that Orange Fever is a good thing.
