The Jersey Thread

The Dutch have proved that you can make some brilliant jerseys in Orange ... this is not one of these.

I think they could have blended the blue from the last kit instead of black for a more striking look.

Blue and orange. Together at last

This sold out so quickly....why did they make so few of them?

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

I've picked up better in the O'Neills factory shop.

Hmm...interesting

**nigel-harps1954** · 02/03/2023, 8:26 PM

Unfortunate turn of events.

O'Neill's being **** teases and making people think it's the new Irish kit when it's a retro jersey. Probably still gonna be nicer and better quality than whatever Castore produce.

Jersey released - https://www.oneills.com/ireland-prem...ld-adults.html

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".

We are the boys in green shadow....nah, doesn't work for me.
It's like Spinal Tap.
The question seems to be: could it be less green? And the answer is no, none less green.

**Fixer82** · 04/03/2023, 9:12 AM

Parts of it are nice. Don’t like the pinstripe and the two different shades.

Your move Castore!

**tetsujin1979** · 09/03/2023, 5:13 PM

Confirmation on the new logo, which is similar to some of the mock ups going around online, but much better

**JR89** · 09/03/2023, 5:24 PM

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 it

**backstothewall** · 09/03/2023, 6:17 PM

I think it's awful personally. Not as bad as the current one, but bad all the same.

**Fixer82** · 09/03/2023, 6:24 PM

I think it’s simple and easy on the eye.
The ‘ireland football’ name change is a bit weird and just sounds gramatically wrong

**MylesNotMiley** · 09/03/2023, 6:34 PM

I don't like the shamrock being tilted. Straighten it up and it would look far better.

**backstothewall** · 09/03/2023, 7:01 PM

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.
