Today Monday 15th February, 2010 UMBRO officially unveiled the new Ireland Home Kit 2010 at Carroll's FAI Store, Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2.The kit has been given a complete makeover with a darker shade of green or ‘St Patrick's Green', a new version of the FAI crest trimmed in gold, gold seam detail and a new anatomical design which brings together performance and style.
The new home kit will be worn for the first time on 2nd March when the Republic of Ireland face Brazil in a friendly at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and will be available for purchase from the 11th March from Carroll's FAI Store, Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2 and online from the FAIshop and the FSC Shop.
Commenting on the new kit Jonathan Courtenay from UMBRO, said "At UMBRO we pride ourselves on innovative kit design, I believe that it is the best kit we have produced for Ireland since our partnership began in 1994. Through individual fitting sessions with the Republic of Ireland Team we were able to create a bespoke smart fit for each player. The players loved the kit when we showed it to them late last year and I can't wait to hear the fans feedback".
For a closer look at the new Republic of Ireland Home Kit 2010 and to watch an exclusive behind the scenes video of the design concept, fans should log onto eircom's SoccerRepublic.ie. Since February 11th soccer fans have been given an exclusive preview of the new kit on eircom's Soccer Republic website in advance of today's launch.

Jersey is true classic,very good..strange material,looks like a carpet...but still nice alltogether
very nice shirt!
I know it's stupid, but what can you do. The FAI feel like they need the money more than not being a laughing stock.
I must say though, on this shirt, it doesn't look dreadful. It just looks like a club shirt. It could be worse. Like the last few outings, it could be bloody orange.
Socks are fcking deadly and so is the jacket..
Get over it dude...really.
Now go back and comment on your swingers party of a national side
Quoting Richie Mc:
well said Richie Mc.. get over maradona soon plz cant put up wit ye crying about it anymore!!! by the way mind your wife/girfriend/boyfriend if john terry is around..
Even without Henry's hand you STILL were NOT qualified!!!!!
It was only a draw...everything was possible for both teams.
Ireland didn't ask to replay the Georgia game after your undeserved penaly! So cut the crap now, It's getting embarrasing...
THIS GAME WAS FOR A WORLD CUP SPOT, FRANCE CHEATED NO DENYING IT SO STOP SAYING GET OVER IT! ONCE A CHEAT, ALWAYS A CHEAT! I hope you get knocked out in the opening round.
You gonna be singing God Save The King in honour of George II seeing as your so up with the times?
Crapy shirt for a crapy team!
Good god, what a bunch of hypocrites. Georgia anyone?
im actually delighted that these bitter little tattie munchers arent going
Hopefully their band of knuckledraggin scumbag fans get pumelled by the cops again after they sing their out of dates songs & they stagger around the place hammered after 5 pints, England a nation of over tatooed underachieving pussies if there ever was one! enjoy the penalty shoot out lads!
At least they won't get far. I can't believe my ears when the pundits say they're favourites to make it to the knockout stages.
Keane didn't set out to deceive the referee against Georgia unlike Henry. Keane said afterwards that he didn't have a clue what the penalty was awarded for.
VERY different situations that aren't in any way comparable unless you're Roy Keane and want to stir some shit.
...F*%&ing French!!!!!!
Loser.
Is a shame that only England will wear Umbro in the WC, they are making amazing kits while the other brands are mediocre at best...
Sometimes, not always, I also wear umbro shirts when I'm in the WC. I can't explain further it's kind of a private thing, if you know what I mean.....
Bunch of cheaters. The only thing they do better than cheating is surrendering.
Nice kit anyway!
hilarious , actually had a chuckle at that !
Anyways , the fact of the matter is some irish are still going on about this while others like myself have accepted the fact ireland wont be going as heartbreaking as it is. However for english fans to have a go at us for complaining , now THAT is hypocrisy.
why dont you racist idiots say it to someone's face instead of acting a big lad online
Umbro's on top right now...
Vile tutonic ? Stop sounding like you know what your talking about here. He's obviously hit a chord there with you but on here as far as i know people should be talking about a new jersey the Rep Of Ireland will be wearing. Like it or not leave it to that & take your potatoe (how original) munching comments to forum where all you knob heads like to go on about what you think you actually know about.
Anybody know what it says on the inside of the collar?
It's 2010 for f**ks sake not 1970!! All of this "tailored" stuff is junk, if you want that type of shirt then buy a retro one. A rubbish marketing gimmick from Umbro, they are doing it because they cannot come up with any new decent MODERN designs.
End of rant
but whitout that eircom shit
That jacket is sweet too!!!
See if only scotland signed with umbro instead of adidas...damn in scared what adidas are going to spawn out
[www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/0215/irelandkit.html
Have a look
Sorry to pop that bubble GERRARD but adidas owns Reebok so that means Reebok is a true GERMAN brand now
Jokes aside, great kit. i'm not irish but might get one anyway.. My club side Reading has had a fair few Irish players in recent years, my favourite being Stephen Hunt, nice kit like this comes along, might as well..

Since when do you follow football? 2007, or 2009?
Through the 90s and even earlier Ireland had OPEL, for the last ten years approx. they have Eircom.
That can´t be new to anyone who is a half decent football follower.....
Nice Kit, Im Proud
You just need to ask the bloke behind the counter about it.
Have one myself - class bit of kit
