I Googled the recent Polish squads and it looks like the ones who go abroad tend to end up in Serie A, with a few in Germany and France. For some reason the keepers seem to come here though!

Before the Second World War, pink was seen as a masculine colour. It's was often associated with baby boys due to its relationship with fiery, dominant red and light blue was more of a girls thing.
Juventus and Palermo used to wear pink for that very reason and they still do today in some form.
