The World Cup means there are some colorful kits on the soccer field, from the orange kits of the Dutch team, to the bright yellow Brazilian jerseys, to the blue and white stripes of Argentina. But even more colorful than these uniforms are the uniforms of the fans: with hundreds of thousands of soccer fans packing the stands to support their teams, there are sure to be some fans who show their devotion on their sleeve…and back, and front, and, well, all over.
