ELI5:Why is the Italian soccer/football uniform blue and not green or red?

Usually, an international soccer uniform is based on the country's flag, but I've always wondered why the Italian one has blue and white instead of red or green.

They started wearing blue jerseys around 1911. Back in those days the house Savoye was a pretty big deal in Italy. The colour of their house was actually blue. So the colour was chose in honour of that family.

The Dutch teams play in Orange for the same reason. But in their case its the house of Orange.
