i like it. the striped socks add something different- even if their a bit like celtics.
got rid of the big orange eircom emblem-kind of!
would have preffered a collar like the old ones though

[danthesaint]

not really mad into the ireland jersey's these days, seems to be just the slightest things changing in them, i love the one home and away around 95 (that one john aldridge is wearing) or dougal

Its alright I guess.

Dunno. I thought it looked much better in those sportsfile photos. I felt something stirring in me looking at those pictures of it. Not exactly national fervour or pride, something deeper, or should I say lower?

[Deckydee]

I like it - Its oldschool!!

[Hibs4Ever]

I like it, still won't buy it though due to the sponsor on it

[Yard of Pace]

I think it's rather nice. Nothing can top the early 80s O'Neills pin-stripe jersey though.

Bang on Umbro. Now, to get rid of that Eircom logo.
At least there's no orange blob.

I really like it. Just neat and simple. You could even call it plain but it looks smart.

[Closed Account 2]

I think they look a bit cheap, I didn't like the orange eircom logo on the old kits, but now these kits only have 2 colours white and a sort of blue-green... Hopefully the away kit will be better, the keeper kit looks ok I guess.

[sixesandsevens]

Hmmm, interesting.
Like the colour on the shirt and the lack of orange on the Eircom logo, plus the design is fairly stylish but plain. Kinda reminds me of the USA 94 shirt, which are all good things.
But as soon as you think Umbro have cracked it you see the socks!! WHITE SOCKS!! and worse still, GREEN HOOPS!!
Socks aside it looks like a decent enough effort from the trained monkeys in the Umbro design dept.

Better than the monkeys in Adidas. Now that could've been worrying.
We really need to sort out this Eircom logo on the jersey lark. It's pants.

Love the green too. Slowly but surely getting back to them there old IFA colours. *sniff* memories.

Is it just me or does it look extremely similar to the rugby jersey, the fai trying to associate themselves even closer to the irfu? It will be known as the aviva jersey.

[Pauro 76]

It looks pretty good, even the tweak with the crest looks alright. The tracksuit looks pretty cool too, well done Umbro. Hope they change the number style though, orange trim won't sit that well with it....

I would imagine they would be purely white numbers..

[SkStu]

i think it looks the business.

[eaststand85]

Really like the look if it based on the photos & video but be interesting to see if the material's any good as some of the Umbro gear can feel quite cheap. Also hope it's not too clingy for the average fan's midriff!! :)

Edit: Apparently the jerseys in the photo shoot are "only samples , the material is a more old fashioned cotton & much nicer to wear than the all polyester". (http://foot.ie/threads/131689-New-Home-Jersey-2010?p=1320536&viewfull=1#post1320536)

[BonnieShels]

the more I look at it the more I like it

But one thing, why couldn't the tittle on the letter "i" look like a tittle rather than a fada.
Looks like a the Lawro pronunciation. :D

Well it should have been known as the "2010 World Cup" jersey...

Not bad though. Kinda reminiscent of the first Jack Charlton/adidas shirt from 1986. A similar sequence of result on the field would be welcome too.

Once again, the Eircom logo spoils it, they could have at least moved it to the sleeve. And gold? I thought the national colours were green white and orange!

[elroy]

Thought the same re looking like the rugby jersey. Actually like the rugby jersey, but wouldnt go buying that. If anyone knows or can get their hands on jerseys without the logo let us know.
Umbro havent produced a good quality jersey since 2002 so i hope this doesnt have a plastic feel to it like the last one. The "anthem jacket" looks cool.

[Jofspring]

Very similar to this but i really like it.

Get rid of that stupid logo and you have a top banana jersey. Shame.

[eelmonster]

Exactly. I won't be buying another Ireland jersey until they get rid of the sponsor. It's a minor gripe, but as newrynyuk says, the colour on our national flag is orange, not gold.

Look at Italy, Look at Germany, Look at Netherlands. Your national flag doesn't necessarily dictate your national colours! I for one prefer the lack of orange. The closer to plain green and white we get the better.

Sure Ireland's national colours technically aren't even green but that's another day's work.

[yapster]

tbh the Irish strip is always ****e, The Irish flag is green white and orange so why not put more orange in the strip. Green is a dull color so more of the white and orange should come into play in designing the strip.

never heard that before, what colour is it supposed to be?

Official colour of the country is historically blue

That's true enough, hence the original Ireland (IFA) jerseys. Allez les Bleus.

[soccerboy]

nice jersey...not too sure about the retro tracksuit tops!!

[BonnieShels]

Stoopid Scotland making us change. I would love it if we still played in Royal blue. Would be awesome.

Imagine what the Six nations would be like if 4/6 teams wore blue!

[sixesandsevens]

Why did we change to green in the first place? Seems a bit strange that NornIron and ROI both started off wearing blue and both changed to green in or arond the same time. Must be a good reason for it. But it just wouldn't be Ireland if we wore blue, that seems as odd to me as White socks...

Hmmm... well ya see that's not strictly true.

The IFA started off wearing blue and due to a clash with another home nation (Scotland) they chose to wear green going forward sometime in the 1880/90's. In 1922 when the FAI was formed (sigh) they continued on using green as the shirt colour to match the then All-Ireland Association's shirts.
FAI never wore blue. Though, I do have a navy training jersey from ca. 2001 which is exactly like the WC2002 shirt except with whit under the arms.

Ah very simlar scenario to the one that existed with the PFJ and the JPF. ;)

[backstothewall]

The kit is class. I'll definately shell out on it, and I haven't bought one since the 2002 World Cup. The simple green and white looks really well, and its the proper shade of green for an Ireland jersey.

Did anyone else do a double take on the guy modelling it to the squad. I was only half looking and I thought Clinton Morrison had bluffed his way in!

[Acornvilla]

i like the jersy hate the socks somthings not right about them..

[SkStu]

same - its the hoop effect... too shamrock roversy for me... jersey is class alright.
