Not at all! They look sweet. I think they'll look even better as the players wore them tonight. A different shade of green, no pattern, manufacturers logo well out of the way and the crest has pride of place. I'll be buying one as soon as its available.

Why don't they have the names on the back of the jersey?

Yeah, there was a big card board cut out of Clinton
advertising the new Ireland jersey in time for St. Patricks Day.

Bit ironic ... neither of them being Irish :p

Anyone got any photos? For various reasons (all of which are completely unacceptable :o ) i didnt get to see the game. Just checked the FAI site and unsuprisingly there's nothing on it....

Just looked at Sportsfile. Shirt looks good, like the rest of ye i prefer it when its a plainer shirt. It does look to be the same kind of design as the England away shirt though, which always bothers me slightly... i'd prefer to be more individual.

As for the lack of sponsor, i'm gonna be pessimistic and say that the replica shirts us lads are gonna buy will have a feck off massive great logo on the front of them:mad: Unless anyone can reassure me that it wont?:confused:

While the shirt does look plainer than previous version (thats a good thing) it still looks like made from same crap material. :(

I think its a poor shirt and looks silly. match details were in the centre on the england shirts and below the crest on the Ireland ones...leads me to believe that umbro have made bad design decisions. I'm makin a stand and will not be forking out cash...

Seen a poster in one of the shops before the game yesterday of Clint modelling it. It looks nearly the same as the one brought out just over a year ago that is now defunct.

The Umbro logo should be parallel to the fai crest, in my opinion.

I can understand that the FAI gets more money from having a sponsor, but would it kill them to offer a more expensive version of the shirt without the sponsor?

I'd happily fork out £35 - £40 for one without the sponsor, bearing in mind the shirt costs about £25 here.

I'm pretty sure no other european footballing nation has a sponsor on their shirts...

How long have we had a sponsor on the jerseys for? I know since the Opel days, but before that, did we have any on sale without? Ridiculous that we have to wear a stupid logo on an international shirt, nothing wrong with the idea of a sponsor on tracksuits etc, but on a national shirt. madness. New shirt not that impressed with, why do we have to copy England's design all the time? At least the numbers on the back arent the same.... could have been worse, we could have ended up with...

Although the collar is a bit OTT, I quite like the new Welsh kit. However, I understand that I may very well be on my own there. :o

We can try. We may not get anywhere, but there's no harm in trying.

I think if it was then it would pretty much be the same as the previous kit!

I think they could still incorporate the Eircom logo if they stuck it on the back where the player's name usually goes in squad number scenarios. Thus the sponsor gets his logo on the shirt and the punter doesn't have a huge Corporate logo on his/her stomach!

Reason the umbro logo is up so high, is cos of the numbers, but it looks faintly stupid if theres no number and a stupid corporate logo. what a mess, umbro havent done a decent kit for us in years....
