Dutch Ladies Play Soccer in Skirts

WONG:
Rather than playing in the mandatory baggy shirts and shorts seen in the men's games, the ladies from FD de Rakt showed off their silky skills in a pitch and fitted shirts and short skirts. Here's more.
STORY:
Sexy football it isn't... but the decision of FC de Rakt's ladies soccer team to play the game in skirts and tight tops has fired women's football into the headlines.
Since the amateur team from Uden in southern Holland changed their kit the club's website has racked up hundreds of thousands of hits every week.
21-year-old team captain Rinske Temming denied the new feminine strip was a publicity stunt.
[Rinske Temming, Team Captain]:
"We think they are far more elegant than the traditional shorts and furthermore they are more comfortable."
The amateur team's new clothing initially faced a ban due to strict equipment rules but upon closer inspection the Dutch football association said it was acceptable after all as the women were still playing in shorts, albeit with a skirt over them.
The club's chairman, Jan van den Elzen says "moving the goalposts" on what's still perceived to be a male sport is long overdue.
[Jan van den Elzen, Soccer Club Chairman]:
"I think very many girls like to play in a skirt but they didn't think it was possible."
No doubt Fifa president Sepp Blatter would approve of FC de Rakt's new look.
The world soccer chief scored an own goal four years ago after famously urging women footballers to wear skimpier kits to boost the popularity of the women's game.

@markmywords53 At least they aren't wearing short wrapround kilts with bare legs in the winter and saying its fine once they acclimatise. They may even have worn trousers to school when they were little. Get over it!
-
They are wearing shorts underneath. IMO this defeats the purpose of wearing the skirts.
-
If this would become a standard I would watch the female world cup religiously like I do with the male world cup now! XD

The difficulty regarding skirts for ladies sports, as football, is that there would no regulation about the undergarments and this could engender a format of risky accoutrements. Even women in swimwear at the pool or the public beaches do not wear skirts, because of what would be the next perception.

true but the shorts underneath are different than those that they had to wear. they arn't baggy on the most part which does make a big difference
-
the FIFA president said the women footballers should wear skimpier clothing inorder to attract more viewing i agree. Look at what bikinis did for womens volleyball its got more coverage and attendence than the male event

right, thongs under the skirts wouldn't be a bad idea too in addition to stockings instead of mere stinky socks.
