They probably weren't expecting a high demand on such crappy jerseyQuote:

It's fine, I guess. Nothing particularly wrong with it. Does look a bit like the Euro 2012 jersey.
The teaser released yesterday and the "bringing back the shamrock" tagline, has soured it a bit in my opinion. Just comes across like a bait and switch.
It's awful. We keep going for darker and darker green and I've no idea why.
Yeah. O'Neills call that colour "Green Shadow".Quote:

It's like Spinal Tap.
The question seems to be: could it be less green? And the answer is no, none less green.
Parts of it are nice. Don’t like the pinstripe and the two different shades.
Your move Castore!
I like it but not a fan of the whole Ireland Football.
I agree. Good effort on crest. Let’s hope jersey lives up to itQuote:

I think it’s simple and easy on the eye.
The ‘ireland football’ name change is a bit weird and just sounds gramatically wrong
I don't like the shamrock being tilted. Straighten it up and it would look far better.
The Ireland Football bit is completely unnecessary and really takes away from it.
The bit in the middle (the shamrock and the orange outline with the tricolour detail) would have looked far better on its own.
It’s literally taken from England’s social media tags being “englandfootball” as their general one and “England” for the men’s team
Oh I think the colour is a bit off, it'd look better in a viridian green. Our boys would look fabulous in awning stripes on our chiffon fabric shirts. But we must do something about those horrendous stockings!
Well there is a former FA employee at the helmQuote:

The @ireland account is given to a new person every week to talk about life in Ireland, a friend of mine was given it for book week a few years ago
After a day looking at it I think they got close to something really nice. I made a couple of changes to it and I think I really like it with the changes.
I took the whole Ireland football bit away
Rotated the whole thing 45 degrees clockwise
Changed the shade of green they used for something darker

In that format it looks like an updated version of the Italia '90 one, which can be no bad thing.
It’s a shame how much re-hashing there has been of previous designs.
I’d love to see something truly original
Says the poster with a classic USA94 crest that I'd quite happily see back :)
It’s the last really good crest we’ve had. Th is one is nice but it’s a re-hash.Quote:

That’s blatant rip-off territory.
I don’t expect Castore to shake things up. Most of their jerseys are very basic designs
I can't agree with this. The most recent one was an original design and has been hated by almost* everybody since day one.Quote:

I like itQuote:

I think it's fine. But then, I honestly don't really care about the merchandise, I never buy it anyway unless something really jumps out at me as being particularly nice, which this doesn't. But it's fine, we've had much worse.
I think it's our nicest jersey since the first New Balance one in 2017.
Full kit. Shamrocks on socks. I like it

No jersey until April 25th. Well played Castore, well played.
The socks look like something Darby O'Gill would wearQuote:
