I came across this funny Chinese TV commercial for some kind of board game. But look at what these people are wearing, that looks very Dutch to me! (Thanks to Thijs Bosma for the link)
Update: the commercial is also available on YouTube, you can find it here

The “suits” they wear in this commercial are from Bavaria and you get them when you buy a tray of Bavaria beer. Ofcourse these are WorldCup related. I guess the chinese producer had some spare suits left and sold them to a gameproducer (just guessing). Maybe nice to inform Bavaria about this extra game you can do after the worldcup.
The suits are cool, I will keep my eyes open in Shanghai, maybe I can spot them (or even better: the game) somewhere and buy them. Would be cool to wear in O’Malleys during the World Cup!
I also think the Chinese producer might have had some overstock and needed to get rid of it. Or he just liked the design and copied it, who knows!
a commercial for “some kind of board game” ?? are u serious??? i guess u do not speak any chinese..
whatever, u even confuse bavaria and the netherland even if its written in big letters on the suits…
