New Home Jersey 2012-2013

Not sure if there has been any official confirmation of this yet from Umbro or the FAI - I certainly haven't seen it if there is - but according to a poster on YBIG, this is our new home jersey to be released for sale on the 5th of October:

Assuming this isn't a bluff, by then, we'll have had the current jersey for a grand total of thirteen months. It was first worn during the friendly against Croatia at home in August of 2011. What ever happened to jerseys lasting two years?

Its the collar I can't stand. It's like halfway in between a collar and not a collar.

Fairly uninspiring. Happy enough with the current pinstripe iteration anyway, will be sticking with that for a couple more years.

What's the issue with changing the jersey? They can change it every month for all I care.

Indeed, they can change it whenever they like and, ultimately, the choice of whether or not to buy a new jersey is solely ours, but supporters would probably feel a bit less like mugs if they were informed of a jersey's lifespan before buying it. Convention had me thinking the current jersey may last 24 months, but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. Ah well...

Anyone wanting to pick up the current jersey. You can get it for €35 from http://www.uksoccershop.com
They normally have a deal at weekends for free worldwide delivery.

think its €25 in many shops

Hate the current jersey so delighted to see it gone.

Now you know how Stephen Ward feels several times during every Ireland game.

I'd believe it if you told me Ward bought his jersey off the internet as well!

He did. That's how he got in the team.

As I despise the current bananas in pyjamas effort which seems to cast a glad eye backwards to the glory days of Brian Hamiltons Northern Ireland teams - I can only call this effort an improvement. Collar/non collar is crap though. What part of plain (no patterns) white (no orange, navy, black, grey or alternate shades of green trim neccessary) roundneck is so hard to comprehend?

I'd like a jersey to be current for longer than a few months when it costs well over a hundred dollars here in North America.

Except you can now buy far cheaper anyway online.

And unless you use it to play in, why would anyone wear a football shirt anyway...

I reckon the current white away jersery will soon be consigned to the dustbin what with EURO2012 and all that ....

Nice shirt to add to my collection, there's a sneak preview on the FAI Facebook/Twitter page so I'm told.
Will look good in Brazil!

3, umbro and the FAI all posted this image online: https://twitter.com/FAIreland/status...958080/photo/1
So I guess it'll be officially announced or unveiled on the 5th?

Couldnt agree more
It's a sh!te jersey.
In fact I think it's the main reason we were so poor in Euro 2012!!!!
Always reminds me of the North's jersey in early 90s
