The commercial director of the European team, Martin Koopman, said he regrets such a reaction from the fans.

“We find it very annoying and unfun that they see the situation in this way. But I only see the sleeve with the colors of our club,” he stressed.

“Heerenveen” was criticized by fans on 7 June. The design of the club’s away kit for the 1993/1994 season was taken as the basis. Fans on Twitter noticed that the pattern on the sleeve is similar to the Russian flag. Some users wrote that they would not buy T-shirts.

In the 2022/2023 season, the club from the city of the same name took eighth place in the Eredivisie, the highest football league in the Netherlands.
