Looks quite good actually, the dark green flashes work well. Wondering why they have Kiely and Noel Hunt doing the modelling duties though.. just the eircom logo spoiling it.

Ya you'd see the odd fella around without the eircom logo on their jerseys though, how do they manage that one I always wonder?
This is a constant source of irritation to me. AFAIK we are the only international team that has a sponsor's name on its replica kit. I know it was a way to get Opel and Eircom to put up the cash in the old days but surely the FAI could negotiate a deal without having to splash an orange blob in the middle of the shirt.Originally Posted by Pauro 76
I was lucky enough to buy the Euro88 shirt before Opel signed up so that is the last Ireland shirt I had without a sponsor. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit me now (Ahhhhh - I remember when I was a Medium).

I have yet to buy an Irish jersey because of the logo. And yes, we are the only country in the World who cannot but the shirt our national team wears.
I have an unsponsered shirt that was used in a match.
Only way to get them.
Stupid FAI..
if it gets them a better sponsorship deal then good. its a very small complaint.... its not a fashion show
Do you miss the ability to communicate with spirits?
Ceci n'est pas une signature
I managed to get an Ireland World Cup 1990 jersey in the North with no sponsor on it when I was younger (and no it wasnt a fake "replica"). It must be possible to get them somewhere. Is there an Umbro factory shop or something?
Yah Euro88 was the last jersey without the sponsor's logo. The Italia90 one was on sale from some UK mailorder shops without the logo but was much more expensive than the one here with the logo.
It is amazing how much these jerseys shrink in the wardrobe over the years.
There was a guy on here selling the jerseys without a logo a couple of years back.
hmm, looks the exact same as the last 3 or 4 away jerseys...i shall not be spending my hard earned cash on this one thanks very much...

Bull****.
It's the likes of you are to blame for this rubbish. Money money money, makes me sick. The fans deserve the right to wear the shirt. The real shirt.
Well they are losing out of my 60/70 bucks anyway and many more down through the yrs. I wouldn't buy one with the logo, it's horrible. I know its not a fashion show but I wouldn't waste money on something I'm not happy with, I'd prefer to just ware a green t-shirt or something
oh really... how do you work that one out?
i think Irish football has far bigger problems as to whether there is an orange blob on the front of the national shirt or not. all that matters is how the team play in the shirt not how much the fans look like the real thing wearing them
Bigger problems??oh really... how do you work that one out?

Such as what exactly?
Even the most lowly, poorest, and corrupt countries in the World have the ability to sell the right bleedin shirt to their fans?
I can buy a San Marino or Vietnam, or even a Faroe Islands shirt online right now, but not Ireland. It's disgusting to be frank.
You're entitled to your opinion, but remember the revenue the FAI get from Eircom filters it's way down to the schoolboy clubs and junior leagues, the first drop in revenue hits these people first.
Ive no problem with the logo, not that i like it, but i'd much prefer to see it and see the money invested into schools and junior levels.

And do you honestly think that all that will come to a halt if they take the thing off the shirt???
Rubbish.
Just look at Mercedes with Germany, Nationwide with England, Coca Cola with Argentina. Their fans wouldn't stand for their shirts being defaced, but Irelands???
Unreal..

Maybe they have umbro boot deals?
What is it that you have the problem with? Is it that the Eircom logo is on the jerseys that are on sale for the fans and not on the actual jerseys worn by the players and are therefore not 'real', or are you annoyed because you feel that the placing of sponsors on national kits is wrong whether its on fans jerseys or players?
Le monde est a nous
The objection is that the Eircom logo is on the shirts sold to the public when the ones worn by the players don't have it. We just want to wear the same shirt that the players do. Afer all, we don't have a problem with wearing Celtic shirts Carling on it, Man Utd ones with AIG, Liverpool with Carlsberg etc.
