Ireland 3rd jersey without eircom Logo on it

**harps1954** · 03/12/2007, 1:23 PM

I was in a shop in Ballybofey today looking through the Ireland kits.

The new Ireland third kit - the grey one - is available to buy without the eircom Logo on the front of it. However, it has Keane and number 10 on the back and the small number 10 below the umbro logo on the front.

I asked the guy in the shop how come it didn't have the eircom logo on it and he said that they (FAI/Umbro) are going to be bringing out some more of these with Duff 11 and a goalkeeper one with Given 1 on them before Christmas. He said that they wanted to get the jersey more like a replica one.

I wonder if there hadn't been such an uproar about the third kit, would the FAI have sold them without the eircom logo on them. Also, I wonder if they will do the same for the green and the white shirts?

They are still selling ones with the eircom logo on it, but the ones with the players names/numbers and it don't have the eircom logo on it. So basically, you can buy the third kit with either the eircom logo on it, or a players number on it.

Just thought youse might be interested.

Did anyone see these shirts anyway else?

They have, but England never sold replicas at any stage with a big ****ing sponsors logo on the front of it.

I'm still promoting Opel, and have no wish to further line the coffers of an organisation who couldnt be trusted not to squander the contents of me grannies coin purse, never mind safely capatalise on multi million pound kit deals.

Even if a new super duper hypersexy Tommy Hilfigger kit, doused in Colin Farrell pheromones with tenners pinned to the lapels came on the market, the FAI would still get buggerall money from me for clothing.

They will probably only do it for the 3rd kit to try and boost sales.

There’s a new range of Ireland FAI official jerseys available in well-known city centre souvenir chain

. Only home at the moment. Cheaper than the replicas.

Do you mean home jerseys without the Eircom logo on it? And what souvenir chain is it, for the benefit of those living outside Ireland?

Carroll's. Its Fai Ireland jersey made by umbro, without their logo or a sponsors logo & its a way of having a cheaper jersey for sale that is different to what the sports shops carry. Not on their website yet, theres a full range of stock including hats scarfs etc.

The sponsored ones are available in Elverys just over O'Connell Bridge,
Lifestyle in St Stephens Green SC and also Pat Cheneys Soccer Shop
on George St (I think...can never remember the names of streets there)

Lifestyle might have the grey unsponsored too. Although any Lifestyle I've
been in only seem to have 10. Keane!

**citizenerased** · 11/01/2008, 9:27 AM

Jaysus, even the FAI financial dept. still think it's 2001.... If they really were in tune with their market, you'd think Hunt & Doyle would feature somewhere...or am I missing something?
