The Jersey Thread

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 helm

Always thought the @england being just for the football team was stupid, most other country accounts are for the country itself.
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.

Just like those pathetic away jerseys a couple of years ago with the boomerangs in them.
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.

* Apart from the Israeli FA who obviously thought it was a banger

Correct. That one was original but it was awful. And the bullsh1t of it representing ‘the green fields the diaspora see when retuning home’…spare me!

**Fixer82** · 14/03/2023, 10:56 AM

And the training gear is a re-hash of USA 94 and England 1990.

I don't like it. I absolutely do not like it. Why couldn't they put the jersey in the same colour green as the crest? how f'king hard would that have been? There's possible 3 different greens on that jersey and it p'sses me off.

**Eirambler** · 20/03/2023, 9:45 AM

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.
