New jersey introduced this morning from the FAI and Umbro, after the deal with New Balance expired: https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/umbr...partner-to-fai
Have to say, I really do like both jerseys
Would like to see it on the pitch before passing judgement. Our jerseys have gotten to be far too dark a shade of green for my liking recently. The away jersey is very Italia 90 alright (as the press blurb suggests) but I don't really see it in the home jersey.
I think it's absolute muck. So unimaginative. Like the last few NB jerseys too. Bring back Adidas or O'Neill's!!!!
The women's home one is slightly better. The away jersey even uses the little boomerang shapes in the jersey, which is obviously a nod to Italia '90, but by a different manufacturer.
Umbro are generally poor I think. For us, the only jerseys they had that i really liked were the 2009 one (France play-off home jersey) and the Euro 2016 although they managed to get luminous orange in there just to take the sheen off slightly.
The only saving grace here is that there's no sponsor, although that's nothing to do with UMBRO.
I like the simplicity and the small logos. Lack of a sponsor logo is a massive plus for me too: they've been eyesores on them for years. First Ireland jersey in a while I'd consider buying, though I'd like to see the shade of green in natural light, material, and fit, before I'd buy anything.Quote:

The bright shiny green in the 2002 WC is still my favorite. I like this away one and will get it just because of no sponsorQuote:

Actually, a foot.ie tournament to decide Ireland's best jersey might be an idea. Like the best goal one.Quote:

Jaysus nobody in they Umbro design department is going far in the game. It took about ten seconds to create those shirts. They aren’t offensive just plain.
I actually the like the home training top more...
The away looks smashing.Quote:

Saving grace is sponsorless - even if this is only a bi-product of not having a main sponsor.
The COYBIG shirt is nicer IMO , the lack of a sponsor on the new one is a big plus.
The YBIG one is just an Adidas teamwear template sold at a premium and it's also a poor shade of green. It's not great at all.
And yet, still better than this tired effortQuote:

The lack of sponsor is the only saving Grace for me.Quote:

it looks like something Penney’s knock together when we qualify for something
So I've found a site listing the jerseys of the last couple of decades. I'd say the last 24 kits would go back to the late 70s/early 80s (which is when the kits started changing regularly) It'd be home jerseys only - I think away jerseys would deserve a separate competition.Quote:

Go for it. If I could work out how to thank on my phone I wouldQuote:

The new brighter colour shirt is an improvement but looks much better on the female footballer.
