*Shiver*...

Wasn't much in favour in gettin the new 'Era' strip to begin with... after seein the state of it at the match, I defo won't be gettin it in a hurry now!

My old Kerr range is still tops by a shot. Shall go with the grand old days for 17th so!

I can understand that the FAI gets more money from having a sponsor, but would it kill them to offer a more expensive version of the shirt without the sponsor?

I'd happily fork out �35 - �40 for one without the sponsor, bearing in mind the shirt costs about �25 here.

I'm pretty sure no other european footballing nation has a sponsor on their shirts...

How long have we had a sponsor on the jerseys for? I know since the Opel days, but before that, did we have any on sale without? Ridiculous that we have to wear a stupid logo on an international shirt, nothing wrong with the idea of a sponsor on tracksuits etc, but on a national shirt. madness. New shirt not that impressed with, why do we have to copy England's design all the time? At least the numbers on the back arent the same.... could have been worse, we could have ended up with...

Although the collar is a bit OTT, I quite like the new Welsh kit. However, I understand that I may very well be on my own there.

We can try. We may not get anywhere, but there's no harm in trying.

I think if it was then it would pretty much be the same as the previous kit!

I think they could still incorporate the Eircom logo if they stuck it on the back where the player's name usually goes in squad number scenarios. Thus the sponsor gets his logo on the shirt and the punter doesn't have a huge Corporate logo on his/her stomach!

Reason the umbro logo is up so high, is cos of the numbers, but it looks faintly stupid if theres no number and a stupid corporate logo. what a mess, umbro havent done a decent kit for us in years....
