World Cup uniforms can lend style with an edge . . . World Cup team uniforms - "kits" as they're called in most of the soccer-loving world - are not just a sideline topic.

So who's got a winning design? Check out the third-ranked Netherlands, says Leatrice Eiseman, director of the Pantone Color Institute, a color research and information center. The Dutch jerseys prominently feature both orange and a touch of blue, a good juxtaposition of cool and warm, Eiseman says. ‘The blue radiates confidence and consistency, while there's a fire to orange.’”
