In collaboration with manufacturer Robey, NEC created six anniversary kits to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Nijmegen club. Each kit features one of the six crests NEC have had throughout their history.
During the upcoming Eredivisie season, the six kits will all be featured in separate blocks throughout the season. The three historical home kits will be worn in blocks of six and five games. The away kits will interchange depending on the suitability with the home kit of the hosts.
Each kit represents a significant era in the club's history, spanning from its founding in 1900 to the cup finals of the 1980s and 1990s and the European campaign in the 2000s.
Retro kit numbers are fitted with special Latin inscriptions, which say 'Concordia res parvae crescunt discordia maximae dilabuntur', translated 'Through unity, the weak become strong; through discord, the strongest become weak', the Latin saying that can be found on the church arch at the Grote Markt in Nijmegen. The saying was the founders' inspiration for the club's first name, Eendracht.
