Inspiring national pride with Orange Patches at Albert Heijn

Inspiring national pride with Orange Patches at Albert Heijn

3 minutes

Orange is associated with optimism and energy, and that’s exactly what the Dutch soccer players need during the 2022 World Cup! On its quest to encourage its shoppers to stand behind the Dutch national soccer team as well as strengthen connections amongst its communities, Albert Heijn launched an instant loyalty campaign with ‘Orange patches’. 

An orange symbol of national pride

Throughout Dutch history, the orange color symbolizes Dutch national pride. When a Dutch national sports team plays a game, groups of fans are dressed up in orange, to cheer them to victory. This year, fans can spice up their orange outfits with sustainable ‘Orange’ patches made from recycled PET. Fans can stick the Orange Patches again and again or stitch them onto their clothes to cheer with the Orange Patches year after year!
 


Custom-made, must-have designs

 

The Orange patches are custom-made for Albert Heijn and include local retailer hero designs such as the ever-popular ‘Albert Heijn hamster’, as well as typical Dutch soccer phrases or icons. Shoppers receive a free patch for every 15 euros spent to complete the entire collection of the 15 must-have patches! 

 

As a proud sponsor of all those playing soccer in the Netherlands, Albert Heijn stands behind the Dutch ‘orange’ national soccer team.
