Ireland Kits and Apparel

Saw the new one in the flesh there. It's very nice. Gonna be even nicer without a sponsor on it.

Looks like they just tore it off

AliExpress

Ha, I think they've photoshopped the logos out in those pics using the clone tool. They certainly did an awful job of it, but I assume the jerseys look pretty much identical to the authentic ones in the flesh? Has anyone bought off these guys before and, if so, what's the quality like? My friend got an away jersey for cheap (named and numbered) online somewhere a few years ago - dunno if it was from the same site - and it looked pretty much identical to the real thing from what I can recall.

There's a page on boards where the lads recommend certain suppliers.

Congrats on your 10,000th post Bonnie!

I can't believe that I didn't even notice that counting up to 10000. Good jesus.

Wow 10,000 posts. That's big deal. Not sure when I can reach my first thousand.

Eh, run while you still can!

Does anyone know who at umbro designs our shirts? Are they Irish? I have a notion they're English and have an inhouse tarmaccer joke going where they see how much tarmaccer fluorescent orange they can slip into the design for our shirt. This design they then present for approval to the FAI (while trying to stifle their Monty Python-esque sniggers) who in turn gush about how much they love it, sign the cheque and leave the room just in time for the designers uproarous laughter to fill the room before bets taken are settled.

I'll swap the badges for a lack of sponsor please thanks!

Why would we wear a white kit against Belgium?

[BonnieShels]

Why not?

Probably as a ruse to try sell some more.

There was a thing one time where any dark colours would be considered a clash, I think it was because of black & white televisions! Not sure about nowadays, we usually change against Italy but there's probably no need. They don't in the rugby and there's no problem.

Is it something to do with colour-blindness, and kit clashes?

[BonnieShels]

It used to be about B&W TVs in poor countries.

My sponsorless top from AliExpress arrived there. It was sent to an address in England first, then reposted to my address. Strange one.
The jersey seems the usual quality, and looks well without the huge '3' in the middle of it. I presume these are just tops bought out in bulk in China for next to nothing, then sold on us westerners. Bargain at €14.
