New Ireland retro shirt

For the more style conscious of you!

Check out the link below to see a new Umbro issued Ireland shirt. Its a "retro" shirt that the team will never wear but its nice and simple and there are no stupid sponsors logos on it. Whats more its only £25!!

Mines an extra large!

Looks nice.

Am I just misremembering, or wasn't Adidas the sponser when Ireland had that logo?

Do you mean the old FAI badge? I can't remember when they changed that exactly but I don't think it had anything to do with the switch to Umbro.

Still nice to see a top with the old badge, although I still have the original Euro 88 version, my favorite by a mile!

Lucky so and so. If I still had mine though, there's not a chance in hell that I'd fit into it...

Here in Japan, we can also purchase the Ireland retro shirt.
Actually I don't know the background about the shirt,so could someone tell me more....?
Then I will buy it soon!

Theres no real background. Its just another shirt that people can buy. The advantage is that its styled in a more "old school" style and theres no sponsors logo.

Its not a shirt that the players would wear - designed purely for the fans
