Hi all,
I was just wondering when our new home kit might be launched? Any ideas? I thought it might be planned to coincide with the Euro 2012 draw in February.
They usually launch them around St. Paddy's day, so maybe in time for the Brazil match.
In saying that, we'll be well down the list of priorities with it being a World Cup year, so they might hold back until the Summer.
The sooner the better, as the current home top is awful.
Ireland kit is looking a bit dated at this stage. I'm not sure what it'll look like, but rumours that the tailored kit might be a goer. Hoping it looks like Man City's kit rather than England's.
Aye, at least with the blue, there is a chance that the colourblind might mistake us for Ireland, but with the white, and the three lions, it could easily provoke an international incident...Quote:

94 away jersey - top notch.

If we went back to Adidas there's a good chance I'd cream myself.
For once, we can agree on something! Best jersey ever.Quote:

1990 Away jersey for me. Always loved the White Jerseys with Green shorts.
88 Home jersey was sound also - iconic.
Liked the ECQ96 away shirt.
I'd love it if we went back to adidas. They're really putting in a lot of effort with their jerseys these days.
the puma collection of african nations jerseys are the best around at the moment.
88 Home
94 Away
No "third" kit we have ever had
any second now the Wums willl appear hailing the glorious Orange away Kit used against Macedonia!:eek:
Can you see us ever wearing our third kit?

we wore a grey third kit away to Wales under Staunton, looked like a training kitQuote:

I wear the old black one around the house at night.
The best home top we've had in years is the one we had when we went to the Stade de France under Brian Kerr.
What I really dislike is the fact that ours and Northern Ireland's current kits are practically the same, with a little fleck of colour around the neck.
Overall, football kit makers are very lazy nowadays, too many templates. Those Puma African nations' kits are nice, but whilst they look good on Didier, I can't see Davey from Drogheda looking as good when he's stumbling out of Hill 16 before a match.
It looks more impressive in a stadium if the colours are bright, no point going towards black, it's not intimidating(look at the Dutch,Brazil and even Cork in hurling), as a matter of fact i think the home jersey could do with brightening(slightly).Quote:

Since then I think Umbro have gotten progressively worse and lazy in their kit design.
Other than that I think the 88 home shirt is an all time classic...
What about getting O'Neills back on board? AT least they'd put some thought and time into the design unlike the multinationals.
Thats right it was Givens after Stan got the boot, most non event qualifier Ive every watchedQuote:

I always associate tops that we've had with certain players. The one above always goes hand in hand with Eddie McGoldrick in my head
http://www.irelandshirts.com/history...roatiahome.jpg always reminds me of Lee Carsley.
I'm not sure why, but they're the players that come to mind when I see those 2 (brutal) home shirts.
Totally agree - you can't beat the old school adidas. Only thing is if we went to adidas now it would be this adidas performance sh*te. Pity they don't do an originals alternative for casual wear.Quote:

Would take this 1 anyday over any umbro ****e.
as people have said, the Euro 88 home jersey was a beauty - i had the away jersey (which ive lost) which was class.

found this description online today about the new kit.
from my understanding of that article, the new kit will be the same style as the current english jersey, with an old fashioned collar and large crest and label.
http://http://iran.worldcupblog.org/...ersey_logo.jpg
sounds simple and not as flashy as in recent times.
i like it
It says it will have a grandad style collar, something like newcastle had mid nineties.
These are two photoshops but the collar would be different

So basically like a green version of the City jersey...

Always liked this one myself. First one i really remember which is probably something to do with it
roy really improved(appearence) as he aged :)
Im not really sure the old style kits would work with that new-fangled flashy FAI logo. All of Umbro's Man City kits this season are very classy, I'd settle for something like that.Quote:

I prefer the bottom shade of green in them there mock ups. Always have always will. Though no doubt that will be the colour of the IFA jersey. Last few IFA kits have been much nicer than the FAI's however I have a gra for teh current one we have.Quote:
