SC Cambuur Liberation Shirt 2025

The SC Cambuur 2025 limited edition football shirt isn’t just a kit – it’s a moving tribute to freedom, legacy, and those who made it possible. Created to honor the Royal Canadian Dragoons who liberated Leeuwarden in 1945, this authentic retro Cambuur shirt blends military heritage with modern design to tell a story worth remembering.

Commemorating 80 Years of Freedom

April 15, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Leeuwarden by Canadian forces. The Royal Canadian Dragoons entered the city via the Groningerstraatweg, ending years of German occupation and sparking one of the largest celebrations in Friesland’s history. In remembrance of that moment, SC Cambuur pays homage during the Cambuur – Vitesse fixture, wearing a shirt that is more than a uniform – it's a symbol of gratitude.

Inspired by the Royal Canadian Dragoons

Designed in collaboration with adidas, the SC Cambuur Bevrijdingsshirt 2025 draws direct inspiration from the uniforms worn by the Royal Canadian Dragoons. The shirt features a subtle Maple Leaf pattern across the fabric, referencing Canada's national symbol and the liberators themselves. The earthy tones, military-style details, and historical elements make this a truly unique vintage-style football shirt.

More than just a collectible, this shirt shares a powerful message: freedom is never guaranteed – it is earned, protected, and remembered.

 

A Veteran’s Legacy Lives On

This release also pays tribute to Jim Parks (100), a member of The Royal Winnipeg Rifles, who entered Leeuwarden shortly after the Dragoons. His presence reminds us that history is still living, and this shirt is a way to keep those stories alive. Wearing it is more than showing support for Cambuur – it’s wearing a legacy.
