The name it answers to, Trots van het Noorden — pride of the north — is a claim about geography before it is a claim about trophies.

The one that finally arrived came on 3 May 2015, in the KNVB Beker final against PEC Zwolle: 2:0, and the first cup in the club's history. It had been close once before, in 1988/89, when PSV Eindhoven won the final 1:4.

Third in the Eredivisie in 1990/91 remains the high-water mark, and the club has never been champion of the Netherlands.

Green and white are taken from the city's coat of arms, and when the Euroborg opened in 2006 the colour was carried into the building itself — green seats, green trim, enough of it that people started calling the ground De Groene Kathedraal . It holds 22,550.
