It is fairly well known amongst RBC supporters that the home shirt from the first Eredivisie season comes in two versions. The soft orange shirt with blue details and a large ‘Vacansoleil’ logo on the chest, initially in separate blue letters and later in a layout familiar to RBC fans, featuring a distinct (blue) bar around the letters, which have unfortunately now turned yellow.

As if the rebranding with which RBC entered the 21st century wasn’t enough – losing THE stadium (De Luiten), THE logo and almost the entire club identity. To top it all off, the – thankfully only temporary – new logo was also printed crookedly on the first batch of shirts. Is this a sign that the designers’ minds were still on the celebrations following the first promotion to the Eredivisie, simply a printing error, or a subtle dig at the higher-ups who forced the new logo through? We’ll leave that decision open. What was certain, however, is that Vacansoleil wasted no time and used the re-print of the shirts as an opportunity to make its logo even more visible.
